MALAYSIAN LEGAL SYSTEM Sources of law – subsidiary legislation
Subsidiary legislation refers to laws made by authorities other than the legislature under powers granted by a primary or parent legislation. The parent legislation delegates authority to make subsidiary laws on technical or administrative matters. For example, the Employment Act 1955 allows the Minister to make regulations on employee termination benefits. The Minister enacted the Employment (Termination and Lay-Off Benefits) Regulation 1980 as the subsidiary legislation. Subsidiary laws allow details to be handled by experts and offer flexibility, but some argue it violates separation of powers.

Case review lina joy v maiw
The case involved Lina Joy, a Muslim woman who wished to convert to Christianity. She sought to change her name and remove 'Islam' from her identity card without obtaining a certificate from the Shariah court declaring that she had renounced Islam. The courts dismissed her application, ruling that as a Muslim she was subject to Shariah laws on apostasy and the finality of her decision to convert was within the jurisdiction of the Shariah court, not civil courts. The ruling affirmed that while freedom of religion is protected, Muslims must follow Shariah procedures for converting out of Islam which requires renunciation to be determined by the Shariah court.
