Section 9
Power to make judgments unenforceable in Malaysia if no reciprocity
of Reciprocal Enforcement of Judgments Act 1958
If it appears to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong that the treatment in respect of recognition and enforcement accorded by the courts of any reciprocating country to judgments given in the High Court is substantially less favourable than that accorded by the courts in
Malaysia to judgments of the superior courts of that country, the
Yang di-Pertuan Agong may by order apply this section to that reciprocating country and amend the First Schedule in any manner which may be necessary or expedient to give effect to the order and to remove any inconsistency therewith in the Schedule.
(2)
Except so far as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong may by order under this section otherwise direct, no proceedings shall be entertained in any court in Malaysia for the recovery of any sum alleged to be payable under a judgment given in a court of a reciprocating country to which this section applies.
