Batas Langit gives a strong picture of the struggles and tough endurance of the Malay community throughout the past and present. It explains the problems the community faced today but at the same time injects heart, mind and soul to thinking of the bright side, motivating one to desire for success and more. All in all, a must read book for Malays and a clear insight to history after the second World War.
