Parliamentary- A parliamentary republic is a system in which a prime minister is the active head of the executive branch of government and also leader of the legislature. The president's degree of executive power may range from being reasonably significant (eg. Poland) to little or none at all (eg. Ireland). Where the president holds little executive power, their function is primarily that of a symbolic figurehead.

While the Prime Minister heads the government, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong remains as the symbolic head of the federation being selected from the line of the Sultan.
The structure of the Malaysian government is a result of its multi-ethnicity which caused the establishment of ethnic-based political parties:
- United Malays National Organization- Malayan Chinese Organization- Malayan Indian Congress
The differing ideologies also contributed to the internal division of Malaysia.
