The Personal Laws of Malaysia: An Introduction 
--- 
MB Hooker

It was often a feature of British colonial administrations that they did not introduce new legal systems wholesale, but sought to preserve aspects of customary law to be administered in the main legal system or in specialised courts for the purpose. British Malaya was no different where customary law of the Malays, Dayaks, Chinese, Hindus and Orang Asli, applying mainly to family matters, was preserved. This book serves as an outline of these various sets of laws and the extent to which, if any, they conflict with statutory law.
