KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) - South Africa is studying Malaysia's constitution as

a possible model because of its success in dealing with multiracial problems, a South

African official said on Feb. 16.

P.J. Botha, South Africa's consul general for Singapore and Malaysia, said Malaysia

was one of several countries selected for study for a new South African constitution

after his nation's dismantling of apartheid, or racial separation policies.
