Reviving the Foundations of Malaysia: The Malaysia Agreement 1963, the Federal Constitution, and the Evolving Landscape of the Basic Structure Doctrine

Public Lecture by Emeritus Prof. Datuk Dr Shad Saleem Faruqi.
10.30am - 12.30pm

This Forum session will examine the key elements that shape Malaysia's legal and political framework. We'll begin by examining the 1963 Malaysia Agreement, the foundation upon which the nation was formed.

We'll then examine the Federal Constitution, the cornerstone document that outlines the powers and limitations of the Malaysian government and the fundamental rights of its citizens.

Finally, we'll critically discuss the Basic Structure Doctrine, a legal principle that protects the core principles of the Constitution and its implications for the nation's future.

Join us for an insightful exploration of these fundamental aspects of Malaysia's legal and political landscape.
