Our constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia. In other words, our constitution is the highest law in Malaysia and the government must obey the constitution. Constitution is divided into two ways which is Written Constitution and Unwritten Constitution. Our country is practising the Written Constitution.
However, there is some problem regarding the Written Constitution. First, not all rules and laws can be written into this constitution in one time. For example, our constitution had mentioned that the council can be dispersed. However, it never mention how the council can be disperse and how to use the power to disperse the council.
Furthermore, the its gives the supreme power to the Chairman of Parliament to shape the Parliament. The 'shape' of the Parliament including the number of the members and how many percent of the members with different races should be involve in the Parliament and this situation can lead to a conflict.
For example, let say if one day the members of the Parliament mostly represented by the Chinese or Indian compared to the Malays and this is not impossible if the right of the Malays as the owner the Malaysian is gone. If our own country is conquered by the boarders, so what is the mean of having the tittle of Constitutional Monarchy?
The history of 13th May which is the race riot had happened when majority of the chairs in Parliament were won by the Chinese. In this case, we think the main factor that cause this event is because the Unwritten Constitution. In our Written Constitutions, its never mentioned how many people from other race either than Malay can join the election.
The character of the good constitution is it can be modified easily in order to satisfy the future needs. However, our constitutional is rigid and cannot be changed easily. If can, its takes difficult procedure and take a long time to be processed.
As we know our constitution was constructed before we achieve independence as one of the conditions to gain our own independence. So is it relevant to use the same constitutions which is was made in 50 years ago now? We know that our country had changed a lot after the independence. As we said just now, the constitutions should satisfy the future needs and represent the peoples voices.
The written constitutions should be comprehensive and futuristic but the one thing that the constitutions should be consider is regarding the Malays right because we think the point of having the constitutions in Malaysia is to maintain the Malay as Malay.
Thank you :)
