Abstract
The traditional elements in the Federal Constitution include provisions relating to the
institution of the monarchy, Islam, the Malay language, and the privileges of the Malays.
However, there are still issues of dispute, insult and provocation on the elements of this
tradition by some Malaysians. Therefore, this study aims to determine the level of
knowledge, attitudes and practices of youth towards the elements of tradition in the Federal
Constitution. This study was conducted in a cross- section with the distribution of
questionnaires to 416 respondents among multi-ethnic youths by convenience sampling. Data
were analysed descriptively using SPSS software. The results of the study found that the level
of knowledge, attitudes and practices of youth towards the elements of tradition as a whole is
high. Therefore, every ethnic group in Malaysia needs to know, understand, accept and
appreciate the history of the drafting of the Federal Constitution and the traditional elements,
which are the basic provisions in the constitution to strengthen the supremacy of the
constitution and increase inter-racial understanding involving issues related to the traditional
elements.
