As is widely known, the publication of the Journal appeared in its inaugural publication in July 2016. Thereafter, the Journal has been issued twice a year until the publication of this issue. I am indeed extremely gratified to observe that since the Journal’s appearance in July 2016, insightful articles on various interesting areas of law written by judges, lawyers, academicians as well as legal and judicial officers have been published in the Journal. It is hoped that this publication will be found useful not only by judges but also lawyers, law teachers and students. Lastly, I have the pleasant duty of acknowledging with gratitude the writers who have contributed their articles to this publication, members of the Publication Committee of the Malaysia Judicial Academy and officers for their unstinting support and contribution in ensuring the successful seventh publication of the Journal.

I am overwhelmed by your presence. I particularly acknowledge the presence in court of: (i) the President of the Senate, Tan Sri Dato’ Sri SA Vigneswaran; (ii) the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dato’ Mohamad Ariff bin Md Yusof; and (iii) the Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law), Tuan Mohamed Hanipa bin Maidin. I believe your attendance signifies the importance of the court as the third branch of government. The mutual respect of the separate arms of government in Malaysia is one of the great strengths of our democracy. You do the court a great honour by your presence today. President of the Court of Appeal, Mr Attorney General, President of the Malaysian Bar, President of the Advocates’ Association of Sarawak and President of the Sabah Law Society, thank you for your kind and generous words. I do not in the least pretend that they are deserved. I am grateful for the pledges of support and commitment you have each extended. Ladies and Gentlemen, It is indeed a privilege and a great honour for me to have been appointed as the first female Chief Justice of Malaysia. And with so many talented and able women in the legal profession, I am confident that I am not the first and the last female Chief Justice of Malaysia. 2 Journal of the Malaysian Judiciary July [2019] JMJ I thank those many women who have preceded me in the legal profession, who, by their integrity, ability and determination have made the passage of women who come later, so much easier. We in Malaysia are fortunate in that we have transcended the gender diversity in terms of the number of female judges in the superior courts, when compared to many other countries in the world, particularly the developed nations. It is one of the areas where we lead in the world. Although it has been achieved over a relatively short period, in the past two decades or so, our progress has been steadily improving. It is important to note that this evolution has not been engineered artificially to achieve these numbers, as a means of demonstrating that a mere gender quota has been met. On the contrary, the evolution has been a natural progression, which has come about purely on the basis of merit. It is for this reason that I said in my initial interview that I should not be defined by my gender, but by merit. However, it must be said that while it is true

  • Court-Annexed Mediation Practice in Malaysia: What the Future Holds
    ARTICLES & ESSAYS DOI 10.6092/issn.2531-6133/6751 Court-Annexed Mediation Practice in Malaysia: What the Future Holds † CHOONG YEOW CHOY & TIE FATT HEE & CHRISTINA OOI SU SIANG TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. Introduction; 2. Court-Annexed Mediation – The Motivations and the Mechanism of the Programme; 3. Provisions on Court-Annexed Mediation; 4. Practice Direction No. 5 of 2010 (Practice Direction on Mediation); 5. Rules for Court Assisted Mediation; 6. The Mediation Act 2012; 7. Role of the Courts and Judiciary in Court-Annexed Mediation; 8. Overcoming the Challenges; 9. What the Future Holds; 10. Conclusion. ABSTRACT: It is an indubitable fact that the use of mediation as a form of dispute resolution has gained traction across the globe. More importantly, the practice of mediation has also been transformed through the establishment of several techniques for formalized mediation. This article will provide insights into one of these avenues for formalised mediation, namely, court-annexed mediation practice in Malaysia. It will first discuss the motivations that led to the introduction of such a programme. This will be followed by an analysis of the operational aspects of the practice. A matter of utmost importance concerns the role of the courts and the judiciary in court- annexed mediation and will be considered in great detail. This article will then offer suggestions on how some of the challenges that exist and are inherent in this particular method of formalised mediation could be overcome. These views are expressed with the hope that court-annexed mediation can function as an effective alternative dispute resolution mechanism under the umbrella of the Malaysian courts.
