More Than 500 Q&A On The Practice Of West Malaysian Labour Laws by Dr Chan Wang Tak | 2026

The Malaysian Institute of Human Resource Management (MIHRM) is the country’s leading professional HR body, known for upholding the highest standards of excellence and integrity. For nearly five decades, its mission has been strengthened by the distinguished support of the Minister of Human Resources, highlighting its significant contribution to national progress.

MIHRM has established a strong global presence through its internationally recognised certification programmes—such as the CHRO, CHRM, CAHRM, and CHRD—which are acknowledged in 96 countries and by major multinational and government-linked corporations. The CHRM, in particular, is incorporated into HR Management MBA programmes at several universities. In addition, specialised certifications like the CCBM, CLDM, and CIRM further reinforce MIHRM’s role in developing highly skilled professionals. The prestigious MIHRM International HR Award remains a key standard of organisational excellence, widely pursued across both private and public sectors.

In support of this mission, MIHRM proudly backs and endorses this essential guide. The author, Chan Wang Tak—a five-term elected MIHRM Council Member—demonstrates the institute’s dedication to supporting its members by offering complimentary advisory services from the MIHRM office. This book embodies that same commitment to expert guidance, serving as a comprehensive resource for understanding the latest updates to the Employment Act. It is not merely a publication, but a vital reference for professionals striving for excellence in West Malaysian labour law.
