THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYARIAH AND CIVIL LAW IN THE MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM: DEVELOPMENTS AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

Abstract

May I begin by expressing my deepest appreciation for the honour and privilege accorded to me by the Organizing Committee of Tuanku Najihah Syariah and Law Lecture & Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia for inviting me to deliver the Inaugural Tuanku Najihah Syariah and Law Lecture. It is Indeed an honour, which is greatly augmented by the gracious presence of Her Majesty, the Chancellor of the Islamic University College of Malaysia, who had earlier on officiated the launching ceremony of this Lecture.
