Part 1 – 3 Religion of Federation

Continuation of my write up on the constitution

part 1-3

 

Few points to ponder:

  1. Islam is the official religion of Malaysia but it does not mean that other religion cannot be practiced.
  2. States with rulers (Sultan) – the Head of religion would be the Sultan. Conference of rulers might extend this position or powers to Agong.
  3. Head of religion for Penang, Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak is YDP Agong.
  4. Head of religion for the Federal Territories is YDP Agong.

Well – I supposed in the state constitution its stated that the ruler or Sultan for the states will need to be a Muslim, otherwise there is a contradiction between the Head of religion versus the official religion.
