Heads of state governments of Malaysia (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

• In Malaysia, the Menteri Besar (Jawi:منتري بسر; literally First Minister), colloquially referred to as MB, is the head of government of each of nine states in Malaysia with hereditary rulers. For four states without a monarch, the title Chief Minister (Ketua Menteri; colloquially referred to as KM in Malay or CM in English), is used except for Sarawak where it uses Premier (Premier). The title "Menteri Besar" is usually untranslated in the English media in Malaysia, but is typically translated as 'Chief Minister' by foreign media. According to protocol, all Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier are styled Yang Amat Berhormat (abbreviated YAB), which means "The Most Honourable". The nine hereditary rulers of the Malay states and the appointed governors of the other four states serve as constitutional and ceremonial heads of their states, while the state executive authority rests with the Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the Ruler or Governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government. The Ruler or Governor appoints and swears in the Menteri Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier, whose executive council (or Cabinet in Sabah and Sarawak) are collectively responsible to the assembly. Based on the Westminster system, given that he retains the confidence of the assembly, the terms of Menteris Besar, Chief Ministers and Premier can last for the length of the assembly's life—a maximum of five years. There are no limits to the number of terms that the Menteri Besar, Chief Minister and Premier can serve. (en)
• 州务大臣（馬來語：Menteri Besar）、首席部长（馬來語：Ketua Menteri，英語：Chief Minister）、总理（馬來語：Premier）分别是马来西亚联邦其中有世袭马来统治者的9个州属，以及无世袭马来统治者，而由最高元首任命州元首的2个州属（槟城、马六甲）和2个邦（砂拉越、沙巴）的政府首脑官衔。 马来西亚奉行议会制君主立宪制，马来统治者和州元首只是虚位元首，邦州的行政权实际上由州务大臣、首席部长、总理掌控。各邦州立法议会在选举后，马来统治者或州元首通常会邀请在议会中拥有简单多数议席的政党或政党联盟组成政府，并从中委任出一位州务大臣、首席部长、总理。 2018年，希望联盟在竞选宣言中宣布其执政州属的州务大臣和首席部长的担任时间将不超过两届，并会推动相关立法。 (zh)
