Johor's 1895 Undang-undang Tubuh: Asia's First Written Constitution
Long before most Asian states had codified law, the small Malay sultanate of Johor enacted a written constitution in 1895. This episode traces the story of Undang-undang Tubuh Negeri Johor — drafted by Sultan Abu Bakar and his menteri besar Dato' Jaafar Muhammad, blending Islamic jurisprudence, British common law, and Malay adat. We explore why a sultan would voluntarily limit his own power, how the constitution protected Johor's sovereignty against colonial encroachment, and the hidden crisis of the 1890s when a British governor tried to undermine it. Along the way: the role of the Johor Military Forces, the Treaty of Friendship 1885, and the legacy of this document for modern Malaysian federalism.
