  Courts of Malaysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The High Court of Singapore ceased to be part of the Malaysian judicial system when Singapore left the Federation on 9 August 1965.
Even after the independence of Malaya and the subsequent formation of Malaysia, by an Agreement between Her Majesty The Queen and His Majesty The Yang di-Pertuan Agong, and by Article 131 of the Federal Constitution, decisions of the Federal Court could be taken on appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London.
Cases are heard by a single judge in the High Court, or by a judicial commissioner.

 Lord President of the Federal Court - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord President of the Federal Court of Malaysia was formerly the title of the head of the judiciary in Malaysia, from the formation of Malaysia in 1963 until 1994.
The Supreme Court in the years leading up to 1988 had been fiercely independent and increasingly active, and was at the time due to hear an appeal to determine the future of the ruling party UMNO, which had been declared an illegal society by the High Court of Malaya on the grounds of procedural irregularity.
In 1994, in a move regarded as a further downgrading of the judiciary, the office of Lord President was renamed "Chief Justice of Malaysia", and the offices of Chief Justice of Malaya and Chief Justice of Borneo renamed "Chief Judge of Malaya" and "Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak" respectively.

However, when high precepts such as the rules of natural justice are denied or when canons of interpretation are misled the courts have proven to be amenable to granting the aggrieved party the freedom sought.
The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal by the IGP who objected to the grant of habeas corpus by the High Court below on the ground that it was incumbent upon the court to go beyond the general grounds of the detention.
In this case the court took cognisance of the facts relating to the arrest and detention of the appellant which were freely given by the police and the trial judge found it ‘incredible’ for the detainee to be subject to detention under the ISA.
