Abstract

The research examines the extent of a locally-based representation of the constitutional monarchy method in the current Westminster model of constitutional monarchy. This study argues that the latest political and constitutional developments in Malaysia demanded a locally-based approach in relation to the constitutional monarchy regime to improve the Malaysian political and constitutional landscape. This paper critically analysed the past literatures using selected themes of constitutional monarchy history. They are the historical evolution of the Malaysian monarchy system, Malaysian common law and the prerogative power and its relation to the concept of sovereignty of the ruler. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on constitutional monarchy from a locally-based perspective. This initiative is also hoped to contribute to the government's political stability, strengthen the monarchy's role as the anchor of unity among different races, and promote the country's economic development.
