Before Athe implementation of GST, dining out used to be cheaper but nowadays, some restaurants would even charge GST on each menu item and when the bill comes, pay a further 10 per cent for service. Many now opt to cook at home, buying raw materials such as meat, vegetables and seafood at the market. While this certainly saves money, it is hard to deny how much the prices on groceries have increased over the years. Hence the question remains, with the rising cost of living, how much can we save?

Then head over to Little India, another shopping paradise, for some more excitement. Lost World of Tambun, a one-of-a-kind water theme park, is filled with natural hot springs. It boasts a sandy beach complete with rolling waves. The park’s mini zoo is the perfect place to view animals endemic to this region.

For example, 510g Adabi Oyster sauce is being sold between RM5.90 to RM6.09 and Sunwhite’s 5kg AAA Special Jasmine Fragrance Rice is priced from RM30.99 to RM32.50. The gap between these prices, although not big, can still have negative effects over the long term and since they are not controlled goods, will the price increase more? “My two children are staying with me, so I usually allocate RM50 a week for groceries. Before this, with RM50, I can get my veggies, chicken and fish and still have some balance. But now, RM50 is barely enough to even just buy vegetables,” said Mages Suppamah, 64. Mages, a housewife, buys her groceries daily at the wet market and night market. Mages believes that items at supermarkets could cost more than she can afford. As for former teacher, Hasnizah Jalaluddin, 55, her monthly pension allowance, is now not enough due to the groceries price hike.

While not necessarily at odds, these dual commitments nonetheless provide legal and symbolic resources for activists to advance contending visions for their states and societies. Using the case study of Malaysia, Constituting Religion examines how these legal arrangements enable litigation and feed the construction of a “rights-versus-rites binary” in law, politics, and the popular imagination. By drawing on extensive primary source material and tracing controversial cases from the court of law to the court of public opinion, this study theorizes the “judicialization of religion” and examines the radiating effects of courts on popular legal and religious consciousness. The book docu- ments how legal institutions catalyze ideological struggles that stand to redefine the nation and its politics. Probing the links between legal pluralism, social movements, secularism, and political Islamism, Constituting Religion sheds new light on the con- fluence of law, religion, politics, and society.
