Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 11
Abstract
The constitution is the main and the highest body of law for a government. The Malaya Federal Constitution was enacted by the Reid Commission and declared on the 31 August 1957. In formulating this constitution, the Malays and the non-Malays have agreed with several agreements known as the social contract. The unity and harmony among various races in Malaya are the basis for strength of the success for the formation of the Malaya Federal Constitution. Great sacrifice and efforts from various races with the aim to demand for independence have been invaluable and they need to be preserved in ensuring that our country continues to prosper following the racial unity that has been established. However, the issues surrounding the allocation for Malays that has been collectively agreed still exist and are often raised despite the 61 years of independence. The polemic about the social contract shows that the level of knowledge and the understanding of Malaysians is still low and less understood, unlike the time when the agreement about the social contract in formulating the Malaya Federal Constitution was established. Thus, this article will discuss in detail the history of the Formulation of the Federal Constitution involving three main races namely Malaya, Chinese and Indiann from the perspective of the library study and the pilot study from the perspective of the National unity.
