← About Malaysia | The system of government in Malaysia is characterized by being a constitutional monarchy, as it is ruled by a king who is considered a symbol of national unity and stability. The king is chosen from among nine state sultans in Malaysia, and they assume power periodically for five years. But key issues such as the appointment of the prime minister and the formation of the government must be approved by the king.
Legislative Council : It is the legislative authority in the country. It consists of Diwan Negara (General Assembly) and Diwan Rakyat (Assembly of the People). The members of the General Assembly are elected by the people, while the members of the People's Assembly are chosen by the state governments. The Legislative Council is responsible for drafting laws and regulations and discussing national issues.
There are a total of 222 seats in the Malaysian parliament. The members of the General Council are elected, and these seats are distributed to electoral districts throughout the country. Members of Parliament are elected for a four-year term, that is, for five years.
The Executive Council : It consists of the Prime Minister and his ministers, and is responsible for managing government affairs and implementing policies and laws. The Prime Minister is the person who leads the government and is appointed by the King based on a majority in Parliament. The Executive Council is the main executive branch of the Malaysian government.
The number of seats for the Executive Council depends on the composition of the government of the King and the Prime Minister. The Executive Council usually includes the Prime Minister and cabinet ministers who are appointed by the Prime Minister. The number of seats in the Executive Council can vary over time based on adjustments in the composition of the government and the appointment of ministers.
We note that this political system in Malaysia is based on the concept of 'common ownership', whereby power is exercised by different institutions according to their specific role in the constitutional system. These structures aim to balance the powers and ensure democratic governance in the country.
Malaysia enjoys a constitutional and democratic system of government, and is considered one of the successful emerging countries in Southeast Asia in terms of economic development and political stability.
