This is a handy one volume reference for an overview on Arbitration in Malaysia, it is the first publication updated with the 2011 legislative reforms. The book starts with a commentary on the overall Malaysian experience in arbitration, relevant legislative reforms, the UNCITRAL Model Law, the 2011 legislative reforms and the use of case law, legislation and codes. This is followed by an in-depth annotation of the Arbitration Act 2005 and explanatory notes of the UNCITRAL Model Law. The last part of this book provides a write up about the KLRCA and their commentary on the relevant Rules. This should be a first point of reference for anyone wishing to understand how arbitration works in Malaysia.
