Malaysian law is based on a combination of statutory law, common law, and Islamic law. The legal system is influenced by the British legal system due to Malaysia's colonial history. The Constitution of Malaysia serves as the supreme law, outlining the rights of citizens and the structure of government. The judiciary in Malaysia is independent and consists of various levels, including the Federal Court, Court of Appeal, and High Courts. Additionally, Sharia law applies to Muslims in personal matters such as marriage and inheritance, reflecting the country's multicultural society.
