NOTES
The author argues that psychiatric services in Malaysia retain many of the premises of colonial psychiatry, while little influenced by more recent concepts, such as service-user empowerment. Also, present in Malaysian health services are features unique to this region (such as the continuing popularity of traditional healing practices) which are not congruent with the colonial premises
