"Any practitioner of arbitration regularly engaged in this practice could not afford to be without a copy of this Handbook."
"If there is one book you must have on arbitration, it is undoubtedly this one."
"The same hand that built the institution now provides the literature it deserves."
"Readers will not find a mere technical guide but rather vital insight into the institutional architecture of dispute resolution itself."
"This is a composition of several books into one."
"A Handbook written with the Asian experience firmly in view is, for that reason, never parochial to its global readership."
"What distinguishes this Handbook is its ability to bridge theory and practice."
"It deserves to be read, and to be used."
Arbitration in Malaysia is no longer what it was five years ago. Virtual hearings have moved from emergency expedient to default procedure. AI-assisted document review is approaching universal adoption. Sanctions, ESG, third party funding and cryptocurrency disputes have arrived in the hearing room – often without notice. The 2024 amendments to the Arbitration Act 2005 and the new AIAC Suite of Rules 2026 have reset the procedural map. The practitioner working from a textbook printed before 2023 is already behind.
This Handbook is the answer. Across 38 chapters, it takes the practitioner through the entire arbitral life cycle – from the formation and effect of the arbitration agreement through jurisdiction, tribunal constitution, conduct of proceedings, evidence, awards, costs, and the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention. Standard topics are treated with doctrinal precision and a serious eye for working procedure.
Anchored in the Arbitration Act 2005 (as amended in 2011, 2018 and 2024) and the AIAC Suite of Rules 2026, the Handbook considers each provision against the UNCITRAL Model Law and the jurisprudence of the leading Model Law jurisdictions – Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Canada and England – so that the Malaysian practitioner is never working in isolation, and the comparative practitioner finds in Malaysia a fully treated jurisdiction worth attending to.

Stamp duty law in Malaysia is entering a complex new phase. With the phased implementation of the self-assessment system from January 1, 2026, and the Inland Revenue Board’s Stamp Duty Audit Framework, taxpayers can no longer rely on official adjudication by the Stamp Office. The onus to determine, report and pay the correct stamp duty now rests solely on taxpayers, bringing heightened compliance risks, audit exposure and potential penalties.
Against this background, the Malaysian Stamp Duty Handbook offers a timely, authoritative, and highly practical guide to navigating the evolving stamp duty landscape under the Stamp Act 1949 and related subsidiary legislation. The book addresses persistent misconceptions – such as whether documents need stamping only for court purposes or whether intercompany agreements are exempt – while equipping readers with the knowledge required for modern compliance.
Drawing on the authors’ close engagement with stamp duty practice, the book combines technical accuracy with practical insight, making complex rules accessible. It guides readers through the full compliance lifecycle – from execution and stamping to audits, enforcement and appeals – ensuring a comprehensive understanding of obligations and risks. Designed for accountants, lawyers, tax advisers, company secretaries, finance professionals and business owners, this handbook is an indispensable resource for anyone involved in transactions where instruments may attract stamp duty.
In an era where incorrect stamping could result in reassessments years later, the Malaysian Stamp Duty Handbook provides the clarity, confidence and compliance strategies needed to navigate Malaysia’s new regulatory environment successfully.
