UM Consti Team

UM Consti Team The University of Malaya Consti Team (UMCT) is a voluntary based group run by the law students of University of Malaya.

Its primary objective is to inculcate the spirit of constitutionalism not only into the young legal minds, but also the general public Acknowledging the fact that even though the Federal Constitution is the supreme law of Malaysia but not many Malaysians have sufficient knowledge of the Constitution, the University of Malaya Consti Team (UMCT) seeks to promote Constitutional literacy through educa

tion and engagement with the public, particularly students so as to instil them with universal values of Constitutionalism such as accountability, responsibility, rule of law, and separation of powers.

[Rang Undang-Undang Perlembagaan (Pindaan) 2026]

10 Tahun & Tiada Lagi?

Malaysia hampir menyaksikan satu perubahan besar dalam landskap politik negara. Rang Undang-Undang Perlembagaan (Pindaan) 2026 mencadangkan had maksimum 10 tahun bagi tempoh perkhidmatan seseorang Perdana Menteri.

Apakah rasional di sebalik cadangan ini? Bagaimanakah mekanismenya berfungsi? Dan mengapa ia akhirnya gagal memperoleh sokongan yang mencukupi di Dewan Rakyat?

[Constitutionalism on Whipping]

Does judicial whipping violate the constitutional right to life and dignity?

Following a tragic post-caning fatality at Pokok Sena prison, the Federal Court confronted this exact question in the landmark case of Mohd Kassim v PP [2026] MLJU 1677.

In a gripping 2-1 split decision, the apex court clashed over fundamental liberties (Articles 5 & 8), strict statutory safeguards, and the boundaries of parliamentary power.

Is the cane a lawful penal policy, or a cruel and degrading punishment?

…

[Perlembagaan dan Hukuman Sebatan]

Adakah hukuman sebatan kehakiman melanggar hak perlembagaan terhadap kehidupan dan maruah?

Berikutan satu insiden tragis melibatkan kematian selepas hukuman sebatan di Penjara Pokok Sena, Mahkamah Persekutuan berdepan dengan persoalan ini dalam kes penting Mohd Kassim lwn PP [2026] MLJU 1677.

Dalam keputusan berbelah bahagi 2-1 yang mendebarkan, mahkamah tertinggi negara bertembung pendapat mengenai kebebasan asasi (Perkara 5 & 8), perlindungan statutori yang ketat, serta batas kuasa Parlimen.

Adakah rotan merupakan dasar hukuman yang sah di sisi undang-undang, atau satu bentuk hukuman yang kejam dan menjatuhkan maruah?

[VOLUME 4 (25/26): APR/MAY CONSTI BULLETIN]

The April/May 25/26 Edition of the UM Consti Bulletin opens with a spotlight on the unfolding constitutional crisis in Negeri Sembilan, where an unprecedented dispute involving the state’s royal institution and territorial chiefs has raised significant questions regarding constitutional interpretation, customary authority, and the limits of royal power.

In this edition’s Commentary Article, former MACC DPP Mr Zander Lim Wai Keong examines the scrutiny surrounding the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Reflecting on accountability, transparency, and institutional independence, he discusses proposals for greater parliamentary involvement in appointing the new MACC Chief Commissioner while emphasising due process, credible leadership, and evidence-based discourse in maintaining confidence in public institutions.

In Constitution Unveiled, Ms Larissa Ann Louis explores Malaysia’s evolving citizenship framework following landmark constitutional amendments effective 1 June 2026. While reforms have been celebrated for advancing gender equality by allowing Malaysian mothers to confer citizenship on children born overseas, the article also examines constitutional tensions that remain. Through discussions on judicial interpretation, statelessness, transitional justice, and comparative approaches, she highlights the balance between reform, substantive equality, and the realities faced by vulnerable communities seeking recognition and citizenship rights.

To conclude this edition, the Consti Fun-Damental Facts segment focuses on freedom of speech and expression under Article 10 of the Federal Constitution. Through practical guidance on responsible online engagement, it outlines the scope of constitutional protections, legal limitations on online content, and the potential consequences of unlawful postings in the digital age.
