English text of Federal Constitution prevails until Agong says otherwise, Putrajaya tells courts
The English version of the Federal Constitution is the
nation’s authoritative legal document until the Yang di-Pertuan Agong
declares otherwise, Putrajaya has asserted in its official defence

The
government stated that the Agong has not yet prescribed the Bahasa
Melayu text as supreme under Article 160B of the constitution, which
allows for such a declaration to be made, Free Malaysia Today reported.
