Malaysia has been a British colony since the 16th century and became independent in 1957. However, the final decision of the judiciary rests with the Privy Council. The Supreme Court of Malaysia was officially established on June 1985 65438 + October 1. After the establishment of the Supreme Court, the final adjudication power of the British Privy Council was abolished. The Federal Court is currently the highest judicial court in Malaysia and was renamed the Federal Court in June 1994. The Federal Court consists of the Court of Appeal, which reviews appeals from the High Court and then to the lower courts. There are also special military tribunals, Islamic courts and small claims arbitration tribunals.
The legal system is English common law and its content is self-evident. This is formed by history.
