Constitutional Law in Malaysia and Singapore (E-Book)

Constitutional Law in Malaysia and Singapore (E-Book)

For law schools in Malaysia and Singapore, this book has become the norm for constitutional law cases. A thorough study of a nation's history, economy, sociology, and politics is required to fully appreciate the disposition of constitutional law. The student and casual reader will find a wide variety of readings in this book that cover these topics. Introductions, notes, questions, commentaries, and references that are pertinent and appropriate have been given.

With the caveat that each topic is still self-contained and may be utilised on its own in a more fragmented setting, the chapters in this book have been reorganised to reflect a more contemporary view of how the subject should be treated. This may be the final version that may practically handle the disparity between Malaysian and Singaporean courts' jurisprudence in a single book because the number of cases and secondary materials on the issue have both increased significantly over time. This book is a compendium of the writers' knowledge drawn from their nearly 40 years of combined teaching experience, making it a reliable source on the subject.
