Malaysia Bill-112-1 MALAYSIA BILL EXPLANATORY NOTE Tms Bill deals with the position that has arisen by reason of the fact that North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore have federated with the existing States of the Federation of Malaya, the Federation now being called Malaysia. It provides that all existing laws shall continue to apply to Malaysia and its States as if the Queen had not ceased to have sovereignty over Malaysia or any of its States, unless any such law is duly altered in the future so as not to apply. Clause 3 applies the Bill to the Cook Islands and the Tokelau Islands. The effect of subctause (2) is that the Bill will be a reserved enactment in the Cook Islands. The result is that neither the Legislative Assembly of the Cook Islands nor the Niue Island Assembly may make any Ordinance containing any provision that is repugnant to the new Act. Clause 4: Subclause (1 ) consequentially amends subsection (3) of section 3 of the British Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 ( subsection ( 1) of which provides that citizens of the countries mentioned in subsection (3) shall have the status of British subjects by virtue of their citizenship) by substituting a reference to Malaysia for the present references to the Federation of Malaya and the State of Singapore. Subctause (2) consequentially repeals the Federation of Malaya Act 1957 and so much of the First Schedule to the Cook Islands Amendment Act 1957 (which is the list of reserved enactments) as relates to the Federation of Malaya Act 1957.

Direct rule by the colonial powers of the West has given way to in- dependence only in the last decade or two. Independence has usually been ac- companied by a new emphasis on economic and social development to enhance the welfare of the people. However, the heritage of the past often constrains the future. The influence of the colonial experience upon a nation's economic, po- litical and social institutions continues long after formal independence, often to the detriment of the nation's professed social and economic objectives.

  • Nation-Building in the Commonwealth: the Making
    NATION-BUILDING IN THE COMMONWEALTH : THE MAKING OF NEW CONSTITUTIONS THOMAS M. FRANCK* New York At a time when criticism of "colonialism" in general and of the British Empire in particular has become a glut on the world's propaganda market, it is of some importance for .Canadians to acquaint themselves with recent developments -in that political institution which graduates the members of our Commonwealth. Since, moreover, these momentous developments may appear obscure to the layman because they are cast in technical, lego- constitutional form, it falls to the lawyer to examine them and to communicate his findings to the non-professional community. An examination of recent constitutional evolution within the Commonwealth and Empire yields very few generalizations. In so far as a generalization is implied even in the use of the separate concepts of "Empire" and "Commonwealth", it is likely to mis- lead, for the emerged and emergent nations of both categories are related to each other not as two distinct blocks but as the shades of a constitutional spectrum which blend gradually from one hue to the next. A few instances may serve to illustrate. At the extreme, the anomalous position of the Republic of Ireland points to a peri- pheral constitutional status which is neither completely within, nor fully without the Commonwealth relationship. Though still clearly within the relationship, India and Pakistan, by severing their legal links with the Crown,2 have laid claim to a slightly *Thomas M. Franck, B .A., LL.B., (U.B.C.), LL.M.

Isolated in their offices in Whitehall, Colonial Office officials devised the Malayan Union p o licy, embracing in a "union" a ll the Malay States and including, from the Straits Settlements, Penang and Malacca but excluding Singapore, which developed as a separate constitutional entity although the possibility of a future "fusion" with the proposed Malayan Union was not discounted; the new arrangements envisaged also the creation of a form o f "common citizenship" that would confer political rights to Malaya's non-Malay population.
