Federal Constitution

The Federal Constitution (Malay: Perlembagaan Persekutuan) is the supreme law of Malaysia.

History
The English version of the Federal Constitution is the authoritative text over its Malay counterpart, as the requisite prescription of the national language version under Article 160B has not been effected by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

The latest English version of the Federal Constitution is in its seventeenth (17th) reprint whereas its Malay counterpart is in its third (3rd) reprint.
