- Abstract
The text is a review of the book "Discursive Approaches to Politics in Malaysia: Legitimising Governance" by Rajandran and Lee. The book examines the use of language in Malaysian political discourse between 2008 and 2020, exploring how political actors employ different approaches to legitimize or delegitimize governance. It covers a range of topics, including political parties, budget speeches, interviews, newspaper articles, social media, and the IMDB scandal. The review praises the book for its comprehensive analysis and suggests that further research could explore non-linguistic elements and comparative studies.
