The Ideologies System
The official state ideology is the Rukunegara, which has been described as encouraging "respect for a pluralistic, multireligious and multicultural society". However, political scientists have argued that the slogan of Bangsa, Agama, Negara (race, religion, nation) used by UMNO constitutes an unofficial ideology as well. Both ideologies have "generally been used to reinforce a conservative political ideology, one that is Malay-centred".

Rukunegara is the national principles of Malaysians. Since Malaysia is a multiracial country, Malaysian government sought ways to foster unity among the various races in Malaysia. One of the methods used to encourage unity is the Rukunegara.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia is not a communist state. In my opinion Malaysia is a half socialism and half capitalism state.
Malaysia uses the Constitutional monarchy(google it for more information) and Parliamentary democracy.
The parliamentary democracy is similar to democracy, where the government is decided by people to serve people. Malaysia held a national election every 5 years to choose the best ruler. I hope that helps you even though this reply is like 3 years late XD
