Promoting commercial certainty. Enhancing confidence in corporate governance.
Quote from Foreword
“Good practitioner texts perform an indispensable service: they assist judges in deciding, practitioners in advising and advocating, and academics and students in understanding. … This work is a distinguished contribution of precisely that kind. It offers a comprehensive examination of shareholders’ remedies under Malaysian law.”
From the Foreword by
Tan Sri Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan
Retired Judge of the Federal Court of Malaysia
Modern corporations run on two core principles: separating ownership from daily management, and allowing majority rule. While shareholders delegate daily business decisions to a board, this dynamic leaves minority investors vulnerable to unfair treatment or abuse of power. Legal remedies resolve this tension by protecting investor expectations without micromanaging the board and the management. Balancing minority protection with board autonomy creates a trustworthy legal system that builds corporate accountability, commercial certainty, and investor confidence.
Lee & Lee’s Shareholders’ Remedies in Malaysia is a comprehensive and practical treatment dedicated exclusively to shareholders’ remedies under Malaysian law. It examines the principal statutory remedies available to shareholders, together with the developing body of Malaysian jurisprudence and relevant Commonwealth authorities.
Drawing upon the authors’ experience in conducting the resolution of shareholder disputes, the book combines rigorous legal analysis with practical guidance on the procedural and strategic considerations that frequently influence the selection and conduct of shareholders’ remedies.
This illuminating book examines the legal framework governing shareholders’ rights under Malaysian company law, focusing on the mechanics of members’ meetings and resolutions, alongside the protocols for the removal and suspension of directors. It provides a deep dive into vital corporate litigation mechanisms, including the oppression remedy to protect the rights of aggrieved and prejudiced shareholders, statutory derivative actions to address wrongs against the company, and the ultimate recourse of a just and equitable winding up. Finally, the book addresses preventative and alternative dispute resolution measures by exploring the application of statutory injunctions and the evolving legal landscape surrounding the arbitrability of company law disputes.
The book combines the provisions of the Companies Act 2016 with Malaysian case law and relevant Commonwealth authorities, and the sections on litigation strategy reflect the practical orientation adopted by the authors. This is a book written by practitioners for the working needs of litigation practitioners, corporate lawyers, company secretaries, in-house counsel, insolvency practitioners, judges, arbitrators, academics and law students.

Navigating Juvenile Justice: Protecting Rights, Shaping Futures
Quote from Foreword
“This book captures significant provisions of law and major legal issues under the Child Act 2001 and the Criminal Procedure Code, including the elements of arrest of child offenders, access to parents and guardians, remand procedure and specific powers of the Court for Children in the juvenile justice system.”
— From the Foreword by Salim Bashir
Past President of the Malaysia Bar
As Malaysia continues to strengthen its approach to juvenile justice, understanding the legal framework that governs child offenders has never been more important. The Juvenile Justice System in Malaysia provides a thorough analysis of the Child Act 2001 and its amendments, judicial decisions, and international legal standards that shape the administration of justice for children.
More than a study of legislation, this book highlights why legal protection for child offenders matters at every stage of the justice process. It examines how the law safeguards children from arrest and investigation through trial, sentencing and rehabilitation, recognising that young offenders require a justice system that balances accountability with their rights, welfare and potential for reintegration into society.
The book traces the development of Malaysia’s juvenile justice system, exploring significant legal reforms, procedural safeguards and the distinctive role of the Court for Children. It addresses critical issues such as arrest procedures, access to parents and guardians, remand, investigation processes, trial procedures and post-trial orders, providing readers with a practical understanding of how the system operates in practice.
Drawing on the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), international standards and ASEAN legal frameworks, the author also examines how global best practices can inform and strengthen Malaysia’s approach to juvenile justice. By identifying gaps, connecting legislative developments and proposing future directions for reform, the book contributes meaningfully to ongoing discussions on creating a more effective, humane and child-centred justice system.
For a practical perspective, the book also includes relevant court forms prescribed under the Child (Prescribed Forms and Register) Regulations 2007, enabling readers to gain a clearer understanding of the procedures and documentation used in proceedings involving child offenders.
Written as both a practical guide and an academic resource, this book is an invaluable reference for judges, magistrates, legal practitioners, prosecutors, academics, law enforcement officers, social welfare professionals, students and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the legal protection afforded to child offenders and the future of juvenile justice in Malaysia.

The authoritative commentary on Malaysia’s arbitration statute
Endorsements
“I am confident that this book, dealing with one of Malaysia’s most significant procedural statutes, will serve as a great reference for judges, practitioners and academics.”
Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat | Former Chief Justice of Malaysia
“There are books one reads, and there are books one keeps within arm’s reach. For those of us who have spent any part of our judicial or professional lives engaged with arbitration in Malaysia, the writings of Datuk Professor Sundra Rajoo have long belonged to the second category.”
Tan Sri Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan | Former Judge, Federal Court of Malaysia; Fellow, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators
“To remain useful to both the Bench and the Bar, a commentary must be accurate, balanced, practical, and concise. This Second Edition succeeds in meeting those demands.”
Datuk Seri Mohd Firuz Jaffril | Judge, Court of Appeal of Malaysia
“Having reviewed this edition, we are confident that it will become a flagship contribution, consulted not merely for ready answers, but for deep insight.”
Professor Janet Walker CM, Osgoode Hall and Professor Doug Jones AO | International arbitrators; Members of the AIAC Panel of Arbitrators
“This work will become the standard reference on Malaysian arbitration for the next decade, and a useful comparative work for any practitioner working on Model Law arbitration anywhere in the world.”
Dr Rouven F. Bodenheimer | Vice-President, German Arbitration Institution (DIS)
“Professor Rajoo’s work has made the subject of arbitration in Malaysia accessible in both scope and depth.”
Chan Leng Sun SC | Senior Counsel, Supreme Court of Singapore
Since its enactment, the Arbitration Act 2005 has been amended four times, most recently in 2024 to introduce the new section 9A on the law applicable to an arbitration agreement, the third party funding regime in sections 46A to 46I, and the new institutional appointing-authority architecture. The Federal Court has, over two decades, given the Act its developed jurisprudential content. The Act that a practitioner reads today is materially different from the Act that was enacted 20 years ago.
This commentary is the authoritative reading. The second edition treats each provision of the Act as it now stands, sets out the legislative history of its amendments, identifies the Malaysian case law that has construed it, reads it against the UNCITRAL Model Law and the corresponding provisions in the leading Model Law jurisdictions, and notes the points on which the law is settled and those on which it continues to develop. The result is a single volume to which the Bench, the Bar, the institutional community and the academic reader can turn for the current and authoritative reading of each section of the Arbitration Act 2005.
Readers familiar with the author’s Handbook on Arbitration (Thomson Reuters, 2026) will recognise the subject matter but find a different book. Where the Handbook is organised around the life cycle of an arbitration – the agreement, the tribunal, the proceedings, the award, the courts and enforcement, this commentary is organised around the Arbitration Act itself, section by section. The two volumes are companions. The Handbook is the practitioner’s working reference when conducting an arbitration; this commentary is the practitioner’s authority on the statute that governs it. Together they give the Malaysian arbitration community a complete library on the law and practice of arbitration in this country.
