1942-1951: Resuming After the Japanese Occupation
The Malayan Law Journal after Four Years of Suppression
The publication of the Malayan Law Journal was interrupted from 1942-1945, as a result of the Japanese occupation of Malaya, and to the deep regret of editor and founder, Dr. Bashir Ahmad Mallal. At the first possible opportunity, publication resumed, and with it, the ardent reminder of the importance of upholding the rule of law.
