Excerpt from The Laws of the Federated Malay States, Vol. 1 of 3: 1877 1920
This edition represents the law of the Federated Malay States on 31st December, 1920, with the exception of the Penal Code and the Evidence Ordinance, which are printed separately.
Prior to the Federation in December 1909 the Councils of each of the four States, namely, Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, and Pahang, passed their own laws, many of which were identical in all four States.
Since the Federation all legislation common to the four States is enacted by the Federal Council, but each Council continues to legislate for matters peculiar to its own State.
The edition is contained in three volumes.
The first volume consists of five parts.
Part I contains State laws passed prior to the Federation which are common to all four States, differences being shown by footnotes.
Part II contains those laws which apply only to Perak.
Part III contains those laws which apply only to Selangor.
Part IV contains those laws which apply only to Negri Sembilan.
Part V contains those laws which apply only to Pahang.
The second and third volumes contain the laws passed by the Federal Council.
Each law is printed as amended, the amendments being shown by italics, and asterisks, except in the case of extensive amendments. In these cases italics have not been employed, but a marginal note indicates that an amendment has been made by mentioning the amending enactment.
Each law has two dates: the first is the date on which it. was passed by Council, the second is the date on which it came into force.
Laws which have had their effect have not been printed.
Mr. J. R. Innes, C.M.G., late Judicial Commissioner, F.M.S., has kindly undertaken the work of seeing these volumes through the press.
