POLITICAL PARTIES

• Political party is a political organization that
  subscribes to a certain ideology and seeks to
  attain political power within a government.
  
• In Malaysia, we have developed a multi-party
  system in which there are several political
  parties that contest in the general election.

HUMAN RIGHT

• The basic rights and freedoms to which all humans
  are entitled, often held to include the right to
  life and liberty, freedom of thought and
  expression, and equality before the law.
• People in Malaysia have a right to choose the
  leader by Pilihan Raya.
  
• No individual, of course, can be completely free
  to do anything he or she wants. That would result
  in disorder or even violence.

FREE ELECTION

• All genuine democracies have free and open
  elections. Free elections give the people the
  chance to choose their leaders and to voice their
  opinions on various issues.
• A general election in Malaysia is held every four
  or five years
  
• Free elections also help insure that public
  officials also pay attention to the wishes of the
  people.

CONSTITUTION MONARCY

• A constitutional monarchy is a form of government
  established under a constitutional system which
  acknowledges a hereditary or elected monarch as
  head of state.
• Though the king or queen may be regarded as the
  head of state, it is the Prime Minister, whose
  power derives directly or indirectly from
  elections, who actually governs the country.
• Yang di-Pertuan Agong is selected to a five-year
  term from a small group of local hereditary
  rulers using a system of rotation, originally
  based on seniority, and varied by a council.

THE PRACTICE OF PARLIMENTARY DEMOCRACY IN MALAYSIA

• The Parliament of Malaysia consists of the House
  of Representitives (Dewan Rakyat or literally
  People's Hall, in Malay) and the Senate (Dewan
  Negara or Nation's Hall in Malay).
• The Dewan Negara (Senate) consists of 70 members.
  
  
• The membership of the Senate is made up of two
  categories-
  
• 26 members elected by the State Legislative
  Assembly to represent 13 states (each state
  represented by two members). 44 members
  appointed by His Majesty the Yang Di-Pertuan
  Agong on the advice of the Prime Minister,
  including two members from the Federal Territory
  of Kuala Lumpur, and one member each from the
  Federal Territory of Labuan and Putra Jaya.

15

• Dewan Rakyat has 219 elected members. A General
  Election is held every five years to elect
  members of the Dewan Rakyat. Parties with the
  most votes can form a government to rule the
  country.

• A general election is held every four or five
  years to elect representatives to the Dewan
  Rakyat members of the Dewan Negara.
