Founded in 1932 by Bashir A Mallal, the Malayan Law Journal has provided the legal fraternity 80 years of excellence in legal reporting. At the time of its inception, law reports were published at sporadic and irregular intervals.
It is with great pride that we present Cases That Touched Our Lives as a testimony to Malayan Law Journal’s 80 years of experience in serving our customers with a myriad of cases and articles. This publication contains a collection of high profile cases and articles that, in one way or another have appealed to our attention and provoked our thoughts. Some of these cases would have made headlines in the media, generated public interest and debate, while others would have been the basis for legislative changes. The selection made provides a thematic analysis of the common law, legal philosophy and jurisprudence in Malaysia. This collection of published case reports and articles will undoubtedly provide the reader access and information on the workings and development of the legal system; the influence of the judiciary on the common law via precedent; and most importantly, the opinions from eminent members of our judiciary and academia in our country. We hope that the reader will find our selection an interesting and informative glimpse of the legal institution in Malaysia over the last eight decades.
