PARLIAMENT BUILDING
INSIDE THE PARLIAMENT
Malaysia is a federal constitutional elective monarchy. The federal head of state of Malaysia is the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong commonly referred to as the King of Malaysia. The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is elected to a five-year term among the nine hereditary Sultans of the Malay States; the other four states, which have titular Governors, do not participate in the selection.The system of government in Malaysia is closely modelled on that of the Westminster parliamentary system, a legacy of British Colonial Rule.
