First published in 1951, The Malay Magician employs historical and comparative data to unravel the different elements – pagan, Hindu and Muslim – in a complex system of Malay magic, as it exists in the Federation of Malay in general and more specifically as it exists in the Malay States of Kelantan, Perak, Pahang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan. Tied up with the concept of magic is the Malay magician, whose many functions and roles in the society are discussed in detail. This book will be of interest to students of anthropology, sociology, history and cultural studies.

Malaysian Batik: Reinventing a Tradition, traces the history of batik, the materials, methods and motifs of the block-stamped and hand drawn methods, and the ways in which Malaysian batik has been transformed into a craft with international appeal. Batik is more than wax and dye applied to a length of cloth. It is an art form practiced by people around Asia. With its its bolder, abstract designs and its brighter palette, Malaysian batik is a distinctly different type of batik that has brought an exciting new dimension to this ancient method of fabric art. Historically seen as a craft, batik making in Malaysia today has segued into more of an art form, both in its creation and its uses. Historically, batik fabric was fashioned into sarongs to be worn by people across all walks of life. More often now batik fabrics are used for lifestyle products, as art pieces and, above all, for contemporary high fashion. The pieces that are created display an originality of composition and design, an effective use of color, a high level of technical expertise and a flair for working in the medium that are the hallmarks of great works of art. Many of the recent advances in Malaysian batik are due to the initiatives of the Yayasan Budi Penyayang, which has revitalized the Malaysian batik industry by adapting it to suit fashion needs and utilized the Asian fashion industry to promote and display its beauty.

A survey of the evolution of esotericism in South-East Asia from 1400 - 1600 in the peninsula of Malaya, this book equips the novice on South-East Asian Religion and Magic with a basic understanding of Sufism, Wizardry and Sorcery in the minimal, and how the esoteric dimension of it all came into being. The works and scholars included or mention are Ibn Arabi, Ibn Sinna, Imam Surawardi, The Wali of Al'Rahman as well as many others. The book examines at length the archetypes of Shaman/Cunning man/Witch, Sorcerer, Dokun/Wizard and Sufi Sage and of course the differences in the Sufi Saint and the Malay Sorcerer. This is done unbiasedly in order to understand how the mistake of syncretism has effected the views people hold of the Malay mystics and Sages in general. This is examined exclusively from 1400 to 1600 BCE. The result may surprise you and make for interesting conversation.
