The Constitutional Monarchy System in Malaysia: Generating the Stability of A Nation
Mohd Hisyamuddin Bin Haji Basabah

Ethnic Studies Institute, National University of Malaysia


Abstract

The monarchy institution is a manifestation of the sovereignty of the Islamic religion and the nations heritage that must be maintained in Malaysia. This is because the monarchy represented by nine Malay rulers in Malaysia is responsible for protecting the rights of the Malays and the Islamic religion as outlined in the federal constitution. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is the head of the country in which he was elected in the queue system of nine sultans for the states in Malaysia and this distinguishes the monarchy system in Malaysia with any monarchy system in the world. The constitutional monarchy is an administrative form in which the power of the king is bound by the constitution as the highest in Malaysia. The constitutional monarchy system is different from the absolute king system because the constitutional monarchy has no political power that is not bound by the constitutional limits. The easy interpretation of the constitutional monarchy is the governing king but does not rule and the constitutional monarchy also exercises its power generally is a formality and not because of the monarchs political power. The Constitutional King system acts as a symbol of national unity even though he has formal powers such as dissolving parliament and granting royal pardons. Hence, the constitutional monarchy in Malaysia is an institution that is protected under the constitution and it is relevant as the last fortress of the sovereignty of the Islamic religion and the Malays in Malaysia
