Order of precedence in Malacca

This article is about the order of precedence for dignitaries in the state of Malacca. For the federal list of precedence for Malaysian dignitaries, see Malaysian order of precedence.

The Malacca order of precedence is a nominal and symbolic hierarchy of important positions within the state of Malacca. It has no legal standing but is used to dictate ceremonial protocol at events of a state nature. It was implanted since Malay ruling in the State.[1][2] The Portuguese influence is also notable.[3] The order is led by the Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Malacca as the head of state, followed by state dignitaries, high-ranking officials, and award recipients. The hierarchy places the Chief Minister of Malacca and state executive council members in prominent positions.[4]
