Company Law: Powers and Accountability, 4th Edition by Dato’ Loh Siew Cheang (2 Vols) | 2026*

Company Law: Powers and Accountability by Dato’ Loh Siew Cheang is a leading work on Malaysian company law, widely valued by legal practitioners, regulators, academics, company secretaries and those involved in corporate affairs. It provides a clear understanding of the legal framework governing the exercise, control and accountability of corporate powers.

Since the publication of the third edition in 2018, company law has continued to develop through significant judicial decisions, legislative reforms and comparative developments. The Fourth Edition incorporates these changes while maintaining the practical clarity and scholarly analysis that have distinguished the work.

This edition introduces additional topics of contemporary relevance, with each chapter beginning with a concise abstract highlighting the key issues and legal principles. The content has also been substantially revised to incorporate recent and significant case law, with particular emphasis on Malaysian authorities and matters of local importance.

The Fourth Edition is an essential reference for corporate litigators, legal practitioners, academics, company secretaries, regulators and corporate professionals seeking a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of corporate powers, duties and accountability.

The work has received strong recognition from leading members of the legal profession across its previous editions. Professor Farrar praised the first edition as a work of quality within the Commonwealth, while Sir John Vinelott described it as a bold and imaginative contribution. The second edition was welcomed by the late YBhg. Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, while Tan Sri Datuk Zainun binti Ali described the third edition as part of a formidable trilogy that stands out within the Malaysian and international legal fraternity.

In the Foreword to the forthcoming fourth edition, Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan recognises Dato’ Loh Siew Cheang as a leading authority in Malaysian corporate law and praises the book for providing a coherent and distinctly Malaysian treatment of the subject. She highlights its depth of research, analysis and evaluation, observing that works of such scope and authority are rare in any jurisdiction.
