Malaysia, a country with multitude of faith and religions has been a host for the practice of mediation amongst its recipients. In the past that without court and law, the mediation is being practiced to solve the disputes. For example, in Islam, mediation is an indispensable condition and represented by the word shafa’a which means intercession and equality or to even up. Besides, the mediation process is reflective in the text of Hinduism’s scriptures as well as in the concept of the panchayat. Panchayat is a practice in the villages’ to mediate the problems of villagers. The panchayat is usually comprised of the village head alongside a few other senior members.

Prior to the establishment of the Malaysian Mediation Centre (MMC), the insurance and banking industries had their own mediation centers – the Insurance Mediation Bureau and the Banking Mediation Bureau. Both were established as non-profit companies. Other industry specific mediation centers cover consumer claims and the housing industry. There are some body formed to carry out the mediation process in Malaysia. As mentioned above, the Malaysian Mediation Centre (MMC) is one of them. The Malaysian Bar Council set up the MMC in 1999.

Mediation is typically a neutral third party that is brought in to help the parties resolve their dispute. The goal of mediation is to clear up misunderstandings, determine concerns, find areas of agreement, and incorporate those areas into solutions. Although a mediator has no decision-making power, they can often help cases resolve more peacefully. The legal system often does this because it helps find solutions faster without there being a lot of tension between the Canadian legal system and society. Overall this allows for a better relationship and allows for the legal system to address the needs of society in a just
It is important to keep the groups small for mediation because smaller groups are more likely to be successful in mediation talks (Klerman and Klerman 692). While reducing the number of people at the table inevitably reduces the amount of voices that can be represented, the committees will still be large enough as to not marginalize significant voices. Each mediation must also have somebody controlling the discussion. In this instance, legislators in Florida will pass a bill allocating $200,000 to pay for professional mediators from the United States Department of Justice directing the discussion. A professional mediator can analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each case before setting expectations for the results (Klerman and Klerman 691).
Mediation is where the two parties aim to reach a mutual resolution on the dispute with the help of a mediator. Mediation is helpful when both parties want to come to a decision without going to court as they settle the dispute themselves. Mediation does not decide on the dispute it leaves control of the outcome with the parties. Arbitration is a formal way of resolving disputes, it's set up so opposing parties present their cases to an independent third person. The arbitrator makes a decision based on hearing the case and the evidence presented to them.
The two parties have full control of the proceedings and are responsible for the preparation of their case and the presentation, this allows the parties to feel satisfied

What is Mediation? Prior to the parties getting involved in a mediation session it is understood that the parties are in agreeance to coming together as a means to promote and to bring forward a resolution. Anything that occurs within the session is understood to be confidential and if a party in any way shape or form feels that they no longer want to continue with the process, they have every right to end everything at that point in time. Mediation is a different yet effective way to resolve problems where the parties bring about their own solution to their problem contrary to going in front of a judge or an arbitrator whom will have full control and decide on behalf of you. Mediation helps the parties involved reach a final solution through a mutual and voluntary agreement, this is exactly what makes mediation a process that should be looked into if the situation permits it.
Overall, I recognized that mediation is a much better choice than adjudication (Bishop, p. 38). Mediation not only restores relationships but it settles disputes and facilitates understanding, learning and growth (Bishop, p. 6). Additionally, the in class mediation made me realize that mediation is not linear. In a mediation, the mediator has to constantly adapt in order to move the parties closer to a solution. Furthermore, through the four in class mediations I realized that mediation could be applied to a wide variety of scenarios.
Conflict resolution happens often in the workplace that can either drive or disturb employees, supervisors, a team, and an entire organization. When supervisors allow conflict resolution to fester without taking immediate action, it can lead the organization into an unhealthy environment. In this paper, the topic for discussion will analyze various strategies that can be utilized to control and manage conflict resolution in the workplace, and the role of the supervisor during conflict resolution situations. In addition, a discussion will include how the workplace and its customers are impacted by a diverse workforce. Conflict Resolution Conflict in the workplace is inevitable, especially in a diverse workforce where employees possess different approaches to his or her job and come from various backgrounds, who share a common work space within an organization (SHRM, 2015).
(Appendix1 shows a complete list of banks in Malaysia). • Malaysian banking system is highly regulated/controlled by BNM and banking products are basically of similar/almost-identical nature. The tangible differentiation between competing banks is therefore minimal, as they have similar capability to market/sell their products, thus creating a very intense competition amongst all the players. • The industry has been around for a long time, and just about everyone who needs banking services already has them. Because of this, banks must attempt to lure clients away from competing banks e.g. by offering higher credit limit,

Mediation is their practice of focusing and letting go of worldly problems. However Hinduism incorporates the practice of Yoga into their mediation to focus on realms of the universe. Buddhism uses mediation to focus and reach enlightenment or Nirvana. Mediation is similar to Christianity's idea of prayer, to take time away from the world and focus on our religions
It is a particular type of third party involvement. The literature review explains the lack of agreement about the description of mediation, though Bercovitch explained an appropriate description. He explained mediation as a system of conflict management, linked to but particular from the parties' own attempts, where the conflicting parties or their representatives look the support, or accept an offer of support, from a person, group, organisation or state to modify, impact or impact their behaviour or perceptions, without resorting to physical force or appealing the legal authority”
3. Mediation Communications Mediator confidentiality for communications is essential to the success of mediation. But it is not an inviolable principle; there are certain cases where it will be encroached upon, lest in recognition of the public interest that a mediator fulfils. One way to approach this might be via a blanket rule with specific exceptions where society’s interest outweighs the interest of confidentiality. 3.1.
Just as in other countries, the law in Malaysia can be found not only in legislation, but also in cases decided by the courts. The courts in question are the Federal Court, the Court of Appeal, and the two High Courts. This is because only decisions of superior courts are sources of law as they are the courts that decide on matters of law whereas lower courts generally discuss on matters of fact. Decisions of the higher courts are binding to the lower courts which is known as stare decisis. Stare decisis is a latin term which means to stand by what has been decided.
