Aug 12 / Day 6: Parliamentary Democracy

Therefore, brothers, look out among you seven men being witnessed to, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this duty. (Acts 6:3)
Malaysia practices Parliamentary Democracy with a constitutional monarch, His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as the Supreme Head of the country. Parliamentary elections are held once every five years to elect the government of the day. As an elected government, they have no absolute power in themselves. They are elected by the people for the people and therefore they are accountable to the one who elected them. The people have the right to hold every elected government responsible over how they have administrated the nation. The people are under no obligation to retain a government if the government of the day has failed in their duties.

Prayer Points:

  • Malaysians to be free from apathy, indifference and blind loyalty and to vote wisely
  • Fair and clean elections with no manipulation of phantom voters and postal votes
  • More Malaysians to be registered as voters and for Malaysians residing abroad to be able to vote
  • More volunteers to be trained as polling observers and counting agents.
Sabah & Sarawak:

  • Christian communities will rightly divide and apply the Word in relation to our parliamentary democratic system
  • Communities not sell away their votes for temporal gain.
Prayer Shield - for our elders, pastors and leaders
Leaders’ personal life: Deep in the Word
