Comparison between corporate governance framework: Malaysia and Thailand

Malaysia and Thailand, two prominent Southeast Asian nations, exhibit both shared and different governance frameworks influenced by their unique historical, political, and cultural contexts. Malaysia functions as a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy, whereas Thailand is a unitary constitutional monarchy marked by recurrent military interventions and periods of authoritarian rule (Case, 2021; Chambers, 2022). While both nations integrate traditional institutions with modem democratic principles, their political stability, rule of law, and levels of public engagement vary significantly (Croissant & Lorenz, 2022). Malaysia has generally maintained a more consistent electoral process, while Thailand
has shifted between democratic and military-led regimes.
