Description
The first ever law school podcast in Malaysia, focusing on CLP studies. This podcast is designed to be a revision tool summarising important cases, and chapters for students that are taking the CLP exam. In addition to preparing the students on legal knowledge, I will share on how to build a strong mentality and mindset when it comes to coping with stress while studying.

Revision is a supervisory power — appeal is a statutory right. But what happens when a decision is appealable yet a party seeks revision instead? This episode examines the general rule, its exceptions, and the role of miscarriage of justice in activating the High Court’s revisionary jurisdiction. For more information on the courses we offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
If a case is already before one High Court, does that court have the power to transfer it to another High Court of coordinate jurisdiction? For more information on the courses we offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
When a child gives evidence in court, must the prosecution produce independent supporting evidence before a conviction can be sustained? We look at the latest amendment in this area and whether corroboration remains mandatory or discretionary. For more information on the courses we offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
An accomplice may testify against a co-accused, but can the court safely convict on that evidence alone? This episode explains whether corroboration is legally required, or merely a rule of prudence. For more information on the courses we offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
Litigation privilege protects communications made for the purpose of pending or anticipated legal proceedings — but where exactly does it sit within the Evidence Act 1950? We examine whether it properly falls under section 126, section 129, or whether the answer requires a deeper fundamental understanding. For more information on courses we offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
Legal professional privilege protects confidential communications made for legal advice or litigation — but who actually owns that protection? This episode explores whether the privilege belongs to the lawyer who holds the information, or the client whose interests it safeguards.

How is CCTV footage actually admitted as evidence in a criminal trial? In this episode, we walk through the full legal process — from relevance and disclosure, to admissibility, proof under section 90A, common law principles, and why authenticity has become a critical issue in the age of digital manipulation. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
How do we analyse and read S.90A(6) Evidence Act ? What are the relevant cases to this particular section ? In this episode, we explain why section 90A(6) is a narrow deeming provision, when courts are allowed to rely on it, and why it cannot be used to cure a failure to properly prove computer-generated documents.

When the Public Prosecutor discontinues a criminal case under section 254 of the Criminal Procedure Code, should the court order a discharge not amounting to an acquittal, or a discharge amounting to an acquittal? In this episode, we unpack how judges interpret section 254, why different judicial approaches exist, and what really determines whether an accused walks free for good or can be charged again.

This episode explains the key differences between a summons and a warrant, and why the law treats voluntary attendance and compulsory arrest as two very different legal responses. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explore whether Malaysian law recognises the idea of constructive arrest, and why courts focus on factual restraint of liberty rather than labels or formal words of arrest. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
This episode examines whether information admitted under section 27 of the Evidence Act must satisfy the voluntariness test in section 24, and how Malaysian courts balance discovery-based truth against fairness in criminal trials.

Section 32(1)(b) and section 73A are both hearsay exceptions, but they operate very differently — one is a strict rule for unavailable makers, while the other is a flexible civil procedure provision for documentary evidence. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explain how a lien is created by deposit of title and intention, why an equitable lien and a statutory lien lead to very different enforcement routes, and how lodging a lien-holder’s caveat under the National Land Code changes everything. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we walk through the full journey of buying a condo in Malaysia, from paying the booking fee and signing the SPA, to vacant possession, strata title issuance, and final perfection of transfer and charge. We explain what rights you actually have at each stage and how bank security changes along the way. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explain how assignment works when strata title is not yet issued, why HDA properties follow a statutory notice-based regime under section 22D, and how assignment for non-HDA properties is governed by contract. We also discuss consent, administrative fees, and when charges imposed by developers can be challenged as unreasonable. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explain how Order 53 rule 5 governs claims for damages in judicial review, why damages are not automatic, and when an applicant must show an independent cause of action. We also discuss why courts treat damages as ancillary relief and when a separate civil action may still be required. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explain what a submission of no case to answer is, when it can be made, and why it is a high-risk move for defendants in civil trials. We also break down the election requirement, what happens if the submission fails, and why the court must still assess whether the plaintiff has proved its case in law. For more information on the courses I offered, please visit www.clpexam.com
In this episode, we explain what a consent order really is — a court-endorsed agreement with contractual and judicial force — and when it can be challenged or set aside. We break down the limited grounds for setting aside a consent order, including contractual vitiating factors and situations where the order is void for lack of jurisdiction or breach of natural justice.
