This is easily the first book of its kind to provide a comprehensive coverage on an important subject - the system of industrial relations in Malaysia. It is a notable attempt where the author has set herself the task of tracing the history and development of the industrial relations system in Malaysia, and exploring the differences of labour laws in both the private and public sectors. Based on both original research and a a good use of available sources, the author gives unique insight into the role of the Malaysian government in industrial relations, trade unions, trades disputes, industrial courts and industrial actions. The author brings a fresh approach to these important issues, and illuminates her concepts with provocative cases, interesting examples and relevant statistics. The latest amendments to the labour laws are also incorporated. And the result - a neat and coherent synthesis of the significant developments in Malaysian industrial relations. There is no doubt that the author has succeeded admirably in her task as is evident in her intelligent analysis. Indeed, Malaysian Industrial Relations contains a wealth of data and analysis that will fascinate general readers and practitioners alike.
