Ensuring you don’t lose the fruits of your hard-fought litigation is important when that litigation is cross-border. According to the 2019 statistics of the International Monetary Fund, Malaysia is the third largest economy in ASEAN and the 25th largest in the world. But in which countries can you enforce a Malaysian judgment should you need to? How portable are Malaysian judgments within Asia?

This concise handbook will tell you:

  • In which countries Malaysian judgments have been recognised and enforced (with examples);
  • in which countries Malaysian judgments are entitled to be recognised and enforced; and
  • in which countries Malaysian judgments cannot be recognised and enforced.
