A Historical Perspective of Federalism in Malaysia and Its Effects on the Current System of Federalism
International Journal of Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 1 ISSN 2289-1552 2012 A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF FEDERALISM IN MALAYSIA AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE CURRENT SYSTEM OF FEDERALISM Raja Nur Alaini Bt Raja Omar School of Business Infrastructure Infrastructure University Kuala Lumpur, Kajang, Selangor Malaysia Email: [email protected], TEL: 019-2404503 ABSTRACT Federalism is a system of government where there is a clear demarcation of power between two levels of government. Unlike in a unitary state, each level has final authority and can be self-governing in some area. In Malaysia, after 12th General Election, there were many issues had arisen as to the running of the system after four states come under the administration of the opponent parties. This study examines the historical background of Malaysian federalism and the historical impact on the current system. It also seeks to analyse the pattern of the federalism in three phases that is, pre- independence, post- independence and after 12th General Election 2008 (GE). The pattern will be analysed based on decided cases and issues that arose between the federal and the states government especially the opponent states. This is to identify the relation between the history and federalism in Malaysia and to what extend the history affects the running of the system. The discussion would focus on the characteristics and the running of the system under the said phases. This thesis seeks to establish that the nature of the Malaysian Federalism has substantially changed from its ideal characteristics. This study argues that there is a lack of constitutional safeguards for the states since the Federal Constitution vests overwhelming power in the Federal authorities.
