ALL countries are governed by their uniquely constructed Federal Constitution and Malaysia is no different. The US Constitution has less than 5,000 words whereas the Malaysian Constitution contains more than 60,000 words. This is because the Malaysian Constitution lays down detailed provisions governing micro issues which consist of 15 parts, 230 articles and 13 schedules (Nov 1, 2010).
The Malaysian Constitution is complex and detailed to non-legal practitioners and often misquoted by irrelevant politicians with brains the size of a carrot.
