The faithful recorder: The man who founded The Malayan Law Journal


The story of the Malayan Law Journal (MLJ) is the tale of one man, really. And that man is Dr Bashir Ahmad Mallal.

He was born on Feb 26 in 1898 in picturesque Domel, in what was then part of British India and which later became Pakistan. The sun had not begun setting on the British Empire so the young Dr Bashir looked east and travelled to Singapore during World War I and settled down there.
