Presenting the law in a clear and concise style, this book facilitates a quick understanding of the new Malaysian company law system. Regular reference is made to the provisions of the Companies Act 2016 to enable the reader to appreciate the statutory scheme regulating corporations in Malaysia. Illustrations are used to clarify concepts and cases are cited for reference. Comparison is made with the former scheme under the Companies Act 1965 where relevant and helpful comments are included to aid the analysis of more difficult areas of the law.

Each chapter begins with its learning objectives, presents the essential principles in succinct paragraphs and concludes with a summary to ensure that the reader obtains a clear understanding of the subject matter covered. A section titled “Points to Ponder” highlights diffi cult areas which may merit further discussion and consideration. The Appendix to the book contains a useful comparison of key provisions in the Companies Act 1965 and the Companies Act 2016.

This book is especially suitable for non-law degree students who take company law in their course of study as well as candidates taking MAICSA, ACCA and MIA examinations. It can also be of interest to practitioners who are looking for quick answers and those who want to learn more about the general law relating to companies and how the new Companies Act 2016 impacts their business.
