520 |a Daulat has been defined in various ways up to the 21st century, partly because of the long journey it has gone through. The evolution of daulat since the time of the traditional Malay kingdom, to its downfall by the coming of the Portuguese, later the British, and the short-reign – yet had a strong impact – of the Japanese, before the nation was reverted back to the dominion of the British. The outcome of these changes of power over daulat is its dissipation and eventual confusion. Added to that, the contemporary scholars think that daulat plays a passive role in the Malaysian society. Moreover, the daulat of the Malay kings has always been associated with myth and legends, as several elaborative rituals and ceremonies are still practiced until today. Due to these misunderstandings, people tend to dodge the issue, thus creating further misunderstanding and suffer hasty utilization, especially politically. Such a misunderstanding needs to be cleared by meticulously analyzing the daulat of the Malay kings since the era of the legendary Melaka sultanate until independence in 1957. Besides, understanding the tradition Adat Pertabalan, which is still in practice today, helps to verify the issue on how daulat is made official as a sovereignty of a Malay king. Eventually, the Constitution of Malaysia also acknowledges, and seals the daulat of the Malay kings. To this effect, this research has found that despite the unawareness of the public over the issue of daulat, it plays a very crucial role in the formation of the Constitution of Malaysia. Besides, this research has concluded that by upholding the daulat of the Malay kings and their subjects; the Malays, it could maintain the Malay identity. More importantly, the significance of Malay kings and the Malays are reflecting to each other. The daulat of the Malay kings also plays a major role in keeping peace and order in Malaysia. Therefore, by meticulously studying daulat, we can see that daulat plays an active role in nurturing the Malaysian society.
