With the publication of its first edition in 1991, this book established itself as the standard casebook in Constitutional Law for law schools in Malaysia and Singapore. In the short span of just 18 years, the jurisprudence that has been developed by the courts in both countries has grown to such an extent that this might well be the last time that the relevant case law of both countries can be practically accommodated in a single volume. The authors have retained the structural topical approach that made this volume unique and successful. Convinced that constitutional law can only be truly appreciated from a sound understanding of a country's history, economy, sociology and politics, this volume offers the student and casual reader, a wide range of readings covering these areas. Where appropriate, relevant introduction, notes, questions and commentaries have been provided. Together with copious references, this approach will hopefully pique the interest of readers and provide guideposts to those who are motivated to probe deeper.
