The Member System, modeled on the cabinet system, was created by British authorities in the Federation of Malaya to provide self-governance. Like the Communities Liaison Committee, it drew on members of different communities, and was later described as setting a precedent for the powersharing multiracial Malayan and Malaysian cabinets post-independence.

At 1951, Sir Henry Gurney, the British High Commissioner in Malaya announced the members, their duty started at April 1951 until June 1955, before the election.
