Federalism in Rajyaghar
The governance of the states is divided between the federal government and the state governments, while the federal territories are directly administered by the federal government.[12] The specific responsibilities of the federal and the state governments are listed in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution of Malaysia. Theoretically, any matter not set out in the Ninth Schedule can be legislated on by the individual states. However, legal scholars generally view this as a "pauper's bequest" because of the large scope of the matters listed in the Ninth Schedule. The courts themselves have generally favoured a broad interpretation of the language of the Ninth Schedule, thus limiting the number of possible subjects not covered. The Ninth Schedule specifically lists the following matters as those that can only be legislated on by the states: land tenure, the Islamic religion, and local government.[13]
Governance of both the Union States and Federal Territories is divided between the Central Union Government (federal) and state governments. Article
Governance of the Union States is divided between the federal and state governments. Each Union State has a unicameral legislature. Following the Northabbey model, the State Governments are led by First Ministers, who are members of the state legislature from the majority party. State elections are held every 5 years which, since 1995, have been at the same time as federal elections.
Governance related to lower-level administration is further devolved from state governments to local authorities; the Provincial and Communal Councils. Whilst state governments hold jurisdiction over local authorities, the federal government can request the Monarch to invoke Article X of the Constitution, which grants either the Rajakumar (Union States), Governor (Kinadica), Panditrao (Bishnupur) or an appointed High Commissioner to intervene and suspend the State Government and Legislature.
The federal constitution outlines the following duties to be exercised by the state governments:
- Management of transportation and local infrastructure
- Provision of emergency services (excluding the police since 1965)
- Local planning and zoning
- Education outside of the national curriculum
Since independence, the federal government has slowly reduced the powers granted to the state governments, including amending the constitution to transfer any unprescribed powers from state governments to the federal government, which has led to increasing popularity of secession movements in the states of Tarkhana, Sangam and Pinjar. During the Emergency, the 12th Amendment transferred jurisdiction of the police from state governments to the federal government.
