Malay Supremacy refers to the sovereignty of the Malay States with the ranking of the Malay Rulers as the Head of State. When the nation gets its independence, the British handed back the country to its rightful owner, the Malay Rulers and its people. And thus, with the formation and the spirits of Federation, all races rights and privileges is secured, respected and protected by the constitution.

Thus, it is a responsibility of the Malay Rulers alongside with the Muslims and the Malay to protect the rights and privileges that they have from anyone who tries to erode it.
