General Titles
As the title goes, this book is about the subprime crisis in the US real estate industry in years 2006 - 2008. It triggered a national financial crisis that went global within 2 years. What were the effects on the US economy, stock market and financial institutions? This is among the topics covered which include: understanding the underlying risks, understanding the causes and the conflicts that could have caused the crisis.
In an era of globalisation where trade, investment and speculative funds move freely across ‘borderless' financial markets, it is difficult to envision a world without foreign exchange. There are few boundaries to foreign exchange dealings today. The vibrant 24-hour market is open to all players - central banks, financial institutions, corporations and individuals.

Law of Cheques (2nd edition, 2002)
by Dr Lee Mei Pheng
In the "Law of Cheques (second edition)", the author builds on
her first book highlighting in particular, changes in the law of cheques with
the coming into force of the Bills of Exchange (Amendment) Act 1998.
Of significance is the status of 'account payee' crossed
cheques. Such cheques, now being non-transferable, have their status as
negotiable instruments virtually obliterated by the Amendment Act.
Further, the clearing of cheques by electronic means through the
Sistem Penjelasan Imej Cek Kebangsaan (SPICK), legalised by the 1998
(Amendment) Act with retrospective effect, adds to the long list of
challenges bankers face today.
As with the first edition this book aims to assist bankers in
their daily operations and decision-making. It also serves as a quick reference
for busy legal practitioners and students of law and banking as it incorporates
changes in the law of cheques up to December 31, 1999.
