The Malaysian Judiciary: A Record from 1786 to 1993 is a revelation as it is the only book of its kind in the market today. It traces the evolution of the Malaysian Judiciary, spanning almost two centuries, starting with the occupation of Pulo Penang ( as it was known) in 1786 by Captain Francis Light. The embryonic beginnings of the legal and judicial heritage followed soon after with the introduction of the English Common Law in the new colony. Dato Foong, a member of the Malaysian judicial, takes the reader down memory lane, giving a graphic account of the colourful period interspersed with many interesting judicial figures and epoch-making events which have contributed in shaping and galvanizing the judiciary into the modern form. Many of the present customs and practices of judges and lawyers, for example, were derived from their colonial roots. The text is written in a highly readable style and is well illustrated with enchanting archival and contemporary pictures, many of which are private collection and therefore unavailable to the public

Paradise Lost: Mahathir and The End of Hope
RM60.00Paradise Lost takes a critical look at Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s role in Malaysia’s political evolution and his ultimately destructive legacy of corruption, racism and religious extremism. He inherited a nation pregnant with promise and left it mired in division, uncertainty and instability, a grand kleptopia, a terrible kakistocracy. It also examines the role Mahathir played in Pakatan Harapan’s stunning 2018 electoral victory and his subsequent betrayal of the coalition he was entrusted to lead. The end result is a nation in deep crisis, adrift in a sea of uncertainty, unable to come to terms with its past, unwilling to make the compromises necessary for its future. Paradise Lost makes for sober reading. Intensely provocative, it challenges long-established shibboleths, spotlights the dangers now confronting the nation and argues that Malaysia’s only hope for redemption lies in embracing and harnessing its unique multicultural identity. This timely book will engender much needed public dialogue about the future of Malaysia.
