Notes and References
^ Terms used in Article 153 to categorize people (‘Malays’, ‘natives’) are defined in Articles 160 (English · Malay) and 161a (English · Malay). Perhaps unintuitively, only “a person who professes the religion of Islam” may be a ‘Malay’ (orang Melayu) in the sense of the constitution (for other contexts, see the article at Malays (ethnic group)). This restriction, if not those about “conform to Malay custom” and “habitually speak the Malay language”, would seem to affect many Orang Asli, a group defined in Article 160 but not mentioned in Article 153. The term bumiputera is neither used nor defined in the constitution.
