The Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Malacca or Malacca Governor is the ceremonialhead of state of the Malaysianstate of Malacca. The Yang di-Pertua Negeri is styled Tuan Yang Terutama (TYT) (English: His Excellency).
The office of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri (governor) is established by the Constitution of Malacca. According to Article 1 (1) of the Constitution, the office must exist and be appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King) after consultation with the chief minister. Every governor is appointed for a term of four years. However the king reserves the power to extend his term of appointment.
The governor has neither a deputy nor assistant. However, in event of his inability to govern the state due to illness, absence or any other cause, the king reserves the power to appoint a person to exercise the function of the governor.
Functions, powers and privilegesedit
Many functions and powers of the king – at the federal level – are delegated to the governor at the state level – like the other rulers of states. The governor, however, has no power and function towards the judiciary.
As he is the head of state, he is a member of the Conference of Rulers. He share the same power with the other members of the conference. However, he cannot be appointed as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Article 10 of the Constitution describes that the governor has to act according to the Constitution and makes decisions based on the advice from the Executive Council. However, he may also act on his own discretion in certain matters.
The Constitution provides the power to the governor to appoint key officers of the state. Most of them are appointed after consultation with the chief minister, except in appointing the chief minister.[1] The same process occurred during dismissal of an officeholder.
The Constitution also describes powers of the governor in the state legislative assembly. All bills must be assented by the governor in 30 days after a bill passed. The governor also has to address the assembly annually.
