1952-1961: Celebrating Malayan Independence
A Decade of Many Milestones
While the publication of case reports has always been the cornerstone of the Malayan Law Journal, within its pages also lie the societal context that accompanied the decisions of the judiciary. In the third decade of the MLJ, as the country celebrated the independence of the Federation of Malaya, Dr. Bashir Mallal marked the 25th anniversary of the journal with a note that celebrated the establishment of a law faculty at University Malaya, and called for the laws of the Federation and rules thereunder to be consolidated.
