Index
Malaysia s constitution was set at the independence of the Federation
of Malaya in
1957
along the lines of the Westminster model, embracing
federalism and constitutional monarchy. That it has endured is explained
in terms of the social contract agreed between the leaders of the three
main ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, Indian) before independence.
However, increasing ethnic tension erupted in violence in
1969,
after
which the social contract was remade in ways that contradicted the
basic assumptions underlying the
1957
Constitution. The outcome
was an authoritarian state that implemented .affirmative action in an
attempr to orchestrate rapid economic development and more equitable
distribution. In recent years constitutionalism, as enshrined in the
1957
Constitution but severely challenged during the high-authoritarianism
of Prime Minister Tun
Dr
Mahathir Mohamad s developmental state,
has become increasingly relevant once again. However, conflict over
religion has replaced ethnicity as a source of discord. This book
examines the Malaysian approach to constitutional governance in
light of authoritarianism and continuing inter-communal strife, and
explains the ways in which a supposedly doomed colonial text has
come to be known as our constitution .
