Constitutional law malaysia

The Federal Constitution of Malaysia, which came into force in 1957, is the supreme law of Malaysia

The Federation was initially called the Federation of Malaya (in Malay, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu) and it adopted its present name, Malaysia, when the States of Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore (now independent) became part of the Federation

The law of Malaysia is mainly based on the common law legal system

This was a direct result of the colonisation of Malaya, Sarawak, and North Borneo by Britain between the early 19th century to 1960s

The supreme law of the land—the Constitution of Malaysia—sets out the legal framework and rights of Malaysian citizens
