EDITOR'S NOTE

Dear Readers,

Sexual harrassment at the workplace is a sensitive issue which has an adverse effect on both the employer and employee. Many a time, the employee chooses to remain silent out of embarrassment and fear of losing his or her job. Likewise, the employer may be unsure as to how to tackle the problem once it is reported. In such an event, it is important to have access to good reference material to provide some guidance.

CLJ's latest publication entitled "Sexual Harassment At the Workplace in Malaysia" is now available and will be a valuable point of reference as the book provides a comprehensive coverage of the subject matter including the Malaysian courts' approach on the issue and procedural guidelines.

We wish you a pleasant and productive day.
