We are glad to note the continued evolution and success of the journal since its first publication in July 2016. My pleasure in writing this preface is, however, tinged with a degree of despondency by reason of the loss of our admirable editor, Tan Sri Idrus Harun, whose keen intelligence and dedication as exemplified by our last edition, will be sorely missed. However, it has to be conceded that his contribution to the nation will indubitably be greater in his current position as the Attorney-General of Malaysia. On behalf of the dedicated Committee of the Journal, I would like to express our deep appreciation to all the contributors to the journal, who willingly devoted their time and energies to writing their stimulating and thought- provoking articles. The subject matter of this edition commences with a distinctive essay which explores the complex relationship between Islamic financing and the philosophical underpinnings of the Shariah. Thereafter the subject matter is arranged to showcase how the Judiciary has dealt with the coronavirus pandemic and continues to evolve to ensure that access to justice is not compromised. We then turn to substantive law essays, both national and international, in the form of contributions ranging from influential impressions on the Federal Constitution to the insightful, if grim, reality of deaths in custody as well as the more conventional, but equally important, topics of mediation, corporate law, tax and shipping law, as well as evidence, specifically in relation to child witnesses. From our international contributor, we are honoured to receive an important essay on the Singapore Convention on Mediation. This edition is the result of the contributions of eminently qualified writers who are distinguished in their field and we are delighted to have been accorded the privilege to edit these articles.

Dato’ Mohd Arief Emran bin Tun Arifin .........................................................221 An Imperfect Observation of the Perfect Shariah Through the Lens of Islamic Finance by The Rt. Hon. Dato’ Rohana binti Yusuf * and Dr Syed Adam Alhabshi** Introduction [1] When Islamic finance started, it faced tremendous challenges. One of the main reasons was due to the fact that market players were only too familiar with conventional banking. There was no precedent to look up to. The business risk faced by banks on its acceptability by public members was yet another facet to be dealt with. Bankers and lawyers thought only familiar products would sell in the market; unfamiliar products might have taken longer to gain acceptability. In the end, the banking transactions took their form by emulating products and contracts resembling those of conventional finance. Thus, most Islamic banking products began by structuring them to mirror their conventional counterparts, with appropriate adjustments to enable compliance with Shariah. Shariah: The immutable law [2] The “Shariah” is an Arabic term which literally translates into “the way”/“the way of life”. From this, the term Shariah is often understood as the path to a natural and innate way and order created by Allah SWT1 for His creation, or in other words, Allah SWT’s path. Hence it is the way of life to be adopted by mankind regardless of their religious affiliation. The paradigm of Shariah is Allah SWT- centric (Creator-centric); thus, the Quran plays an important role in determining the economy of the ummah. According to Ibn Qayyim, the general principles of Shariah are based on wisdom and achieving people’s welfare in this life and the afterlife. It is about justice, mercy, wisdom and common good. Therefore, any ruling that replaces justice with injustice, mercy with cruelty, common good with mischief, or wisdom with nonsense, is a ruling that does not belong to Shariah. * President of the Court of Appeal of Malaysia. ** Partner, Shook Lin & Bok, Malaysia. 1 SWT is Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala which means “Glory be to Him, the Exalted”. 2 Journal of the Malaysian Judiciary July [2020] JMJ [3] The Shariah, when applied to Islamic finance,

    Page 1 Halsbury's Laws of England (3) RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CROWN AND THE JUDICIARY 133. The monarch as the source of justice. The constitutional status of the judiciary is underpinned by its origins in the royal prerogative and its legal relationship with the Crown, dating from the medieval period when the prerogatives were exercised by the monarch personally. By virtue of the prerogative the monarch is the source and fountain of justice, and all jurisdiction is derived from her1. Hence, in legal contemplation, the Sovereign's Majesty is deemed always to be present in court2 and, by the terms of the coronation oath and by the maxims of the common law, as also by the ancient charters and statutes confirming the liberties of the subject, the monarch is bound to cause law and justice in mercy to be administered in all judgments3. This is, however, now a purely impersonal conception, for the monarch cannot personally execute any office relating to the administration of justice4 nor effect an arrest5. 1 Bac Abr, Prerogative, D1: see COURTS AND TRIBUNALS VOL 24 (2010) PARA 609. 2 1 Bl Com (14th Edn) 269. 3 As to the duty to cause law and justice to be executed see PARA 36 head (2). 4 2 Co Inst 187; 4 Co Inst 71; Prohibitions del Roy (1607) 12 Co Rep 63.

Dr Milton additionally sought a declaration that Dr Lourdes was guilty of the charge against him and that the MMC be ordered to hear his plea in mitigation and for the imposition of an appropriate sentence.

INTRODUCTION This paper concentrates mainly on how Malaysia, a country composed of many races and religions, creates and enforces its laws in order to sustain the peace that has lasted more than half a century. I have recently retired as a judge, so my view on this subject is from a judge’s perspective. Malaysia is located just north of the equator, about halfway around the world from Utah. It is geographically divided into two main regions by the South China Sea. These two regions are the Peninsula Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysia was known as Malaya, but in 1963, the British colonies

  • Chapter II the Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicia
    Chapter II The Method of Appointment of Judges to the Superior Courts of Malaysia Under the Federal Constitution and the Judicial Appointments Commission Despite the fact that the question of performing judicial functions independently by judges comes after their appointment, the method of appointment of judges is the crucial and dominant factor to ensure their substantive independence, the independence which greatly depends upon the independent character, integrity, equanimity, legal knowledge and keen intellect of the persons who would hold the office of judges. For, the appointment of a judge on account of political allegiance in utter disregard to the questions of his qualifications, merit, ability, competency, integrity and earlier performance as an advocate or judicial officer may bring in, to use the words of President Roosevelt, ‘Spineless Judges’ who can hardly be expected to dispense justice independently according to law and their own sense of justice without regard to the wishes and desire of the government of the day. There is a great possibility that such a judge may remain ‘indebted to those responsible for his designation ...., the beneficiary is exposed to the human temptation to repay his debt by a pliable conduct of his office’137 especially when the executive itself is a litigant. As H. J. Laski aptly said, ‘It is not necessary to suggest that there will be conscious unfairness; but it is .... possible that such judges will, particularly in cases where the liberty of the subject is concerned’, find themselves unconsciously biased through over-appreciation of executive difficulty...’138 Therefore, ‘in appointing judges, a government owes a duty to the people ..

    (2020) 32 SAcLJ 373 THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OF THE MALAYSIAN JUDICIARY ADJUDICATING ISLAMIC FINANCE MATTERS Since the introduction of Islamic finance in Malaysia three and half decades ago, the Malaysian judiciary has been confronted with various legal issues involving Islamic finance. While it is not the purpose of the article to provide an exhaustive list of decided cases1 in chronological order, the aim is to highlight the main issues impacting the practical aspects in the Islamic finance industry, namely, the issues of ibra’ (waiver), late payment charges, reference to the Shariah Advisory Council, enforceability of non-Shariah-compliant contracts and sukuk default. This is done through an analysis of reported court cases by the Superior Courts. It is found that the courts have adopted a pragmatic approach in dealing with Islamic finance matters of practical importance, hence providing clarity and certainty to the industry players.
