"... it was still possible to speak of the history of law in Malaya in terms of reception of English law. With the establishment of Malaysia, however, the emphasis has or should change. Native customary law plays a much more important part in East Malaysia than it does in West Malaysia or Singapore and one must go beyond 1786 to trace the history of law in Malaysia."
