Product Description

Whistleblower Protection laws have been enacted globally to protect employees of either government agencies or private corporations, who report to the public or those in authority regarding mismanagement, corruption, illegality or any wrongdoing within their place of employment. In the past, employees who act as whistleblowers are often subject to retaliation by their employers, hence the need for Whistleblower Protection laws. This book begins with an overview on the history and objective of Whistleblower Protection laws, before providing a commentary on the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 in Malaysia. Several chapters cover in detail the administration, disclosure of improper conduct as well as the enforcement of the Act. Besides the commentary on Whistleblower Protection laws in the United States, United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries, the case studies covered in the book provide invaluable insight on the application of Whistleblower Protection laws. Readers would find the chapter on the Syariah view of Whistleblower Protection laws as an interesting perspective on this area of law. The book ends with a chapter on recommendations on drafting Whistleblower Protection policies. This book provides an interesting discussion on the phenomena of Whistleblower Protection laws in Malaysia and around the world.
