Malaysian Constitution

The Malaysian Constitution is the fundamental law that establishes Malaysia's government structure, defines citizens' rights, and outlines the country’s political principles. It creates a constitutional monarchy with the King as head of state and a parliamentary system for legislation. The constitution guarantees basic rights like freedom of speech, religion, and equality, while also allowing for laws that preserve social harmony. It sets out the separation of powers among the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, and provides guidance on the national identity, official language, and other key national matters. Essentially, it functions as the legal framework that governs Malaysia’s political and legal system.
