The second edition of Corporate Governance – Practice and Issues is a book on corporate governance written in a practical manner and intended to provide guidance to directors, executives, managers, company secretaries, professional advisers, including lawyers and auditors. It draws on the three decades of experience of the author in the field of corporate governance, stressing the single most important element of integrity, the courage to act on that integrity and basically to do the right thing in the right way at all times. This edition updates the law over the last ten years, and discusses the evolution in corporate governance and whether there has been an improvement.Taking an out-of-the-box approach, the book (a) looks at the history and evolution of corporate governance over the last three decades; (b) discusses environmental social governance; (c) studies the division of power in the company, looking specifically at whether it is the shareholders, the management or the Board, whether as a whole or through individual directors, who wield power; (d) discusses the traditional concerns about director roles, duties, responsibilities and ensuing liabilities, and the importance of transparency achieved through disclosure and more; (e) reviews the board committees, the need for them, the roles they play and their effectiveness; (f) studies key issues relating to remuneration, the entitlement issues, and how it is to be set; (g) reviews internal control and risk management issues and how these should be handled; and more.
Also included are practical discussion points, and a dedicated chapter focusing on nominee directors and the issues that plague them. Another unique aspect of the book is a chapter dealing with governance concerns of the boards or councils of statutory bodies, which are typically regulated by Acts of Parliament.
The recurrent theme in the book is that corporate governance is not just about structures and processes, but about having the right people do the right thing through the right means all of the time; that is, the structures and processes may be the building blocks of corporate governance, but it is the collection of individuals who provide the foundation.

The Singapore Mental Capacity Act 2008 (2020 Rev Ed) (“MCA”), enacted in 2008 and implemented in 2010, celebrates 15 years as a vital part of Singapore’s legal landscape. The MCA establishes a framework for making decisions on behalf of individuals aged 21 and above who lack mental capacity, safeguarding their welfare and interests. Although modelled after its English counterpart, the MCA has since evolved through local developments to address Singapore’s unique societal and legal context.
With Singapore navigating the challenges of an ageing population and working towards building a more inclusive society for individuals with mental disabilities, it is increasingly important for practitioners and policymakers to appreciate the MCA’s provisions and applications.
Jointly written by a team of legal experts drawing on their diverse experiences in the judiciary, practice, and academia, this book offers interested readers a practical and in-depth commentary on the MCA.

The third edition of Insurance Law in Singapore provides a much-needed update for practitioners, students and interested stakeholders in the insurance law process. The law of insurance in Singapore is primarily based on English law but there are now major differences between the laws of both jurisdictions in relation to insurance law. Since the publication of the second edition in 1997, the UK has introduced the Insurance Act 2015 (which has been described as the most significant reform to English insurance law since the Marine Insurance Act 1906), the Consumer Insurance (Disclosure and Representations) Act 2012 and the Third Parties (Rights Against Insurers) Act 2010. The changes brought about by these statutes and the differences in the treatment of similar issues in Singapore are discussed in this edition.
This title provides a comprehensive overview of the legislative ad precedential developments in the topics concerning every stage fo the insurance law process. These include the formation of insurance contracts, risk, loss, claims and third-party rights. In addition, motor insurance and related issues are explored in extensive detail.
