In May 1994, the Constitution was amended to stipulate that the Head of state must accept and perform official duties on the advice of the Government.

Article 153 of the Malaysian Constitution gives the Malaysian Head of State the power to protect the special status of the Malays and other indigenous peoples. Specifically, it means the right to ensure that places in public services, higher education institutions are reserved for Malays and Sarashagans when the Head of State deems it reasonable. In addition, the Head of State has the power to ensure fixed quotas for Malays and East Malaysians in the allocation of scholarships, passes and licences as he deems reasonable.

In July 2019, the Malaysian Parliament passed a constitutional amendment to lower the voting and election age from 21 to 18, while introducing automatic voter registration. The system will be officially implemented in September 2022. In December 2021, the Malaysian Parliament again passed the Constitutional Amendment Bill to restore Sabah and Sarawak's status as "states" when they joined the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.

Attaching importance to the development of high technology, projects such as "Multimedia Super Corridor" and "Biological Valley" have been launched. In 1998, the economy experienced negative growth due to the impact of the Asian financial crisis. The government adopted policies to stabilize the exchange rate, restructure the debts of banks and enterprises, and expand domestic demand and export, and the economy gradually recovered and maintained medium-speed growth. Since the second half of 2008, affected by the international financial crisis, Malaysia's domestic economic growth has slowed down and exports have declined, and the Malaysian government has introduced 7 billion ringgit and 60 billion ringgit stimulus measures in response to the crisis. After Prime Minister Najib took office in 2009, he adopted a number of measures to stimulate the growth of the Malaysian economy and domestic demand, and the Malaysian economy has gradually shaken off the impact of the financial crisis and has stabilized and recovered. In 2015, Malaysia announced the 11th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) to continue to promote economic transformation and focus on improving people's livelihood. In 2016, Malaysia proposed the 2050 National Transformation Plan (TN50), a vision for Malaysia's development plan for 2020-2050.
