Malaysian law

Malaysian law is a set of rules and regulations established by the government to maintain order, protect rights, and ensure justice. It combines statutory laws enacted by Parliament, Islamic law for Muslim personal matters, and customary laws for specific communities. The legal system is influenced by British common law and features courts that interpret and enforce laws, including the Federal Court as the highest authority. Laws cover areas like criminal conduct, civil disputes, commerce, family, and religion. Citizens and residents are expected to follow these laws, with legal remedies available through courts and tribunals to resolve disputes or seek justice.
