Constitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance Selected Essays and Speeches

His Royal Highness Sultan Azlan Shah's contribution to the development of Malaysian law is often traced to the large body of judgments delivered by him during his tenure in the Malaysian judiciary. As a Judge, Chief Justice and Lord President of the then Federal Court, and subsequently as the Sultan of Perak and the King of Malaysia, it is not surprising that such contribution can be traced to sources beyond his judgments. 

Called upon on numerous occasions to deliver public lectures or speeches, His Royal Highness expressed his opinion on a wide variety of issues relating to law. A selection of the leading public lectures and speeches delivered by His Royal Highness, as well as two essays written by him, have now been compiled inConstitutional Monarchy, Rule of Law and Good Governance. 

This volume stands as a testimony to the contribution of one of Malaysia's foremost judicial figures to the development of Malaysian law in an extra-judicial capacity, and will be of interest not just to the legal fraternity but also to all those interested in the ideals of a modern democratic society.
