The justification generally is their need for protective discrimination based on the ground that the Malays form an economically depressed community, and that if positive steps are not taken to advance their economic status, it may result in communal strife. The Government faces a daunting task in deciding how to deal with this issue: both continuity and reform carry great dangers, and no solution will gain complete acceptance. This article applies doctrinal legal research and interview where the theory of equality and affirmative action were intensely examined. This article provides an insight to the concept of equality and the operation of affirmative action as provided under the Federal Constitution from different perspectives.

Article 8 (1) and (2) of the Malaysian Federal Constitution address the concept of equality in Malaysia. However, the equality provision in Article 8(1) is not absolute. This can be seen, for example, under Article 136 of the Federal Constitution which requires all federal employees shall be treated impartially regardless of their races. However, it is important to note that Article 153 of the Federal Constitution did provide special privileges, quotas and reservations for Malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, and this provision has been challenged legally and politically. The late Tun Suffian managed to reduce the gap between Articles 136 and 153 by introducing the concept of ‘affirmative action’ whereby the reservations and quotas are permissible under the Federal Constitution. The objective of this paper is to identify the issues in implementing affirmative a...
