“This book should find its place in every person''s library...[it is] a resource for engagement and vital critical discourse.” Philip T. N. Koh, Star2

This is a much-welcome new edition of the seminal introduction to Malaysia''s constitution by the leading expert in the field. Retaining its comprehensive approach, it examines constitutional governance in light of authoritarianism and continuing inter-communal strife, as well as examining the impact of colonisation on Malaysia''s legal public law structure.

Updated throughout to include all statutory and case law developments, it also retains its socio-political perspective. A must read for all students and scholars of Malaysian law.
