Malaysia: An Islamic, secular country

Nations change over time – and so, perhaps, should laws. But it’s crucial that we don’t manipulate the intent behind the words of the Federal Constitution to fit present-day needs, for it would demean that crucial document.

On July 1, 1954, Umno and MCA organised a parade through the streets of Johor Baru, ending by the stairs in front of Johor’s government department building to support a memorandum urging the establishment of the Federal Constitution. Such a vital document, fought for by our forefathers, cannot easily be changed. Photo: National Archives
