The Malaysian government operates as a constitutional monarchy, where the Yang di-Pertuan Agong serves as the king and head of state. The government is divided into three branches: the executive, legislative, and judiciary. The Prime Minister leads the executive branch, while the Parliament, consisting of the House of Representatives and the Senate, forms the legislative branch. Malaysia's political system is based on a multi-party framework, with several parties competing for power. The Federal Constitution outlines the rights and responsibilities of the government and its citizens, ensuring a democratic process and the rule of law throughout the nation.
