History of Parliament of Malaysia


Malaysia practices Parliamentary Democracy with Constitutional Monarchy and His Majesty The King as the Paramount Ruler. The Federal Constitution was legislated with the setting up of conditions for this system to exist. One of the characteristics of Parliament Democracy is the separation of powers into three parts which are the Legislative, Judiciary and Executive.
