description: This new book critically examines the extent to which the Federal Constitution of Malaysia meets the standards of constitutionalism. Analyzing the history of natural rights, the appointment of judges, the Emergency, preventative detention, amendment of the constitution, apostasy and other aspects of religious freedom, freedom of speech and federalism, Chahil perhaps controversially suggets that while the constitution does reflect constitutionalism, further limits on the power of the government and protection of civil liberties are urgently needed.Providing a serious challenge to scholars of Malaysian law, this is a work which academics studying the law of Malaysia cannot afford to be without.
