1. Constitutional Conflicts In Contemporary Malaysia
Pengarang : H. P. Lee
Imprint : London : Oxford University Press , 2017
Mukasurat : 214 ms
Sinopsis:
In this book, HP Lee explores how the separation of powers doctrine in Malaysia has been adversely affected by a number of major constitutional conflicts among the various important organs of government. The author first analyses the struggle by parliament for supremacy over the Malay Rulers or Sultans by expunging the need for the royal assent to the enactment of legislation and removing royal immunities. Lee then turns to the contemporary role of the Malay Rulers
and the reasons for the perceived rejuvenation of these Malay Rulers. The book goes on to examine the series of controversies and scandals which have plagued the judiciary since the tumultuous judiciary crisis of 1988, and the efficacy of the reforms which have been introduced to restore public
confidence in the judiciary. These conflicts and a number of statutory enactments are analysed to determine their impact on the state of constitutionalism in Malaysia. The book concludes with the author's thoughts on the trajectory of constitutional development in Malaysia.
2. Freedom Of Religion Apostasy And Islam.
Pengarang : Abdullah Sheed
Imprint : London : Routledge , 2004
Mukasurat : 227 ms
Sinopsis:
Debate on freedom of religion as a human right takes place not only in the Western world but also in Muslim communities throughout the world. For Muslims concerned for this freedom, one of the major difficulties is the 'punishment for apostasy' - death for those who desert Islam. This book argues that the law of apostasy and its punishment by death in Islamic law is untenable in the modern period. Apostasy conflicts with a variety of foundation texts of Islam and with the current ethos of human rights, in particular the freedom to choose one's religion. Demonstrating the early development of the law of apostasy as largely a religio-political tool, the authors show the diversity of opinion among early Muslims on the punishment, highlighting the substantial ambiguities about what constitutes apostasy, the problematic nature of some of the key textual evidence on which the punishment of apostasy is based, and the neglect of a vast amount of clear Qur'anic texts in favour of freedom of religion in the construction of the law of apostasy. Examining the significant challenges the punishment of apostasy faces in the modern period inside and outside Muslim communities - exploring in particular how apostasy and its punishment is dealt with in a multi-religious Muslim majority country, Malaysia, and the challenges and difficulties it faces there - the authors discuss arguments by prominent Muslims today for an absolute freedom of religion and for discarding the punishment of apostasy.

Become a more effective leader—cut the jargon and say what you mean
Leveraging. Strategizing. Opening the kimono. Unlocking human capital. Trying to nail that BHAG. All on a go forward basis. These are only a few examples of the jargon-ridden language that is too often the mainstay of business communication. Jargon frustrates, confuses, and generally alienates listeners. Yet it's also everywhere, and using it can often seem like a mandatory requirement for anyone who wants to establish credibility in a professional workplace.
To be an effective leader, you must be brave enough to be the first to drop jargon in favor of simple, coherent language. This can be difficult if you've spent years immersed in business culture, but Leading Through Language will show just how much you've come to rely on jargon, why it's holding you back, and how to trim it away to more effectively convey information and ideas.
- Understand why jargon is reviled, yet ubiquitous
- Learn why "business speak" gets in the way of business
- Discover what kind of language influences and inspires others
- Convey ideas with clarity, energy, and conviction
- Approach all communication as an act of leadership
Communication often falls by the wayside in favor of more measurable data-backed performance metrics; but good communication has the power to improve metrics in every area of an organization. Leading Through Language is the business world's much-needed guide to true leadership communication, showing you how to eliminate idle talk and master compelling communication.

Takkan Berhenti Mencintaimu
Entah di mana silapnya, dia menjadi seorang isteri sedang sekeping hati kecil sudah bersumpah untuk mencintai orang lain.
Silapkah sebuah perkahwinan sehingga bunga-bunga asmara tidak pernah berkembang indah? Silapkah terlalu mencintai sehingga benci menjadi kelopaknya? Silapkah jatuh cinta sehingga haruman yang mengindahkan itu menjadi racun nan berbisa?
Malam-malam kian sepi dan semakin sepi, dihambat persoalan-persoalan yang tiada jawapan. Namun lelaki itu tidak akan berdiam diri. Dia akan melakukan segala-galanya untuk memiliki hatinya…
Dan aku, Puteri Chaira Cleopatra, takkan mahu menjadi Cleopatra yang sepi tanpa Caesarku. Kerana aku takkan pernah mencintamu….
