Key Roles & Responsibilities

In Malaysia, the State Government operates under the framework of a federal system, where powers are divided between the Federal Government and the State Governments as outlined in the Federal Constitution. Each state has its own government led by the Menteri Besar (Chief Minister), along with an Executive Council (EXCO) responsible for governing the state.

Roles and Responsibilities of State Governments:

Enforcing laws and policies within the state.

Managing state civil service and administration.

Administering land matters, including land use, development, and ownership.

Managing state forests, water resources, and minerals (except oil and gas).

Overseeing local government operations.

Ensuring proper town planning and infrastructure development.

Managing state roads, bridges, and transportation infrastructure (excluding federal roads and highways).

Overseeing water supply and sanitation services.

Supporting rural and urban development projects.

Encouraging local business and economic activities.

Managing tourism and cultural heritage within the state.

Overseeing state-level enforcement agencies.

Limitations of State Governments:

While state governments have autonomy in certain matters, many key areas—such as defense, foreign policy, education, taxation, and public security (police, military)—remain under federal control. The Federal Government also provides funding to the states, especially those with limited revenue sources.
