The Malaysian legal system is based on English common law, and that is a very good thing for the country because the English common law is used internationally, and therefore people from around the world are able to identify with it.
If there are any problems with the Justice system within the country, they may require assistance from international sources to help them rule. This is a practice which Malaysia is familiar with since before January 1, 1985, the Federal Court was the highest court in the country but its decisions were further appealable to the Privy Council in London. Although it is not a common practice in today's age, it is still possible to request for assistance from these other countries if adequate rulings cannot be made, especially since they are neutral third parties.
