Executive power is vested in the Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister. The prime minister must be a member of the house of representatives, who in the opinion of the King, commands a majority in parliament. The cabinet is chosen from members of both houses of Parliament.[4] The Prime Minister is both the head of cabinet and the head of government.[60] The incumbent, Najib Razak, appointed in 2009, is the sixth prime minister.[64]
Malaysia's legal system is based on English Common Law.[4] Although the judiciary is theoretically independent, its independence has been called into question and the appointment of judges lacks accountability and transparency.[65] The highest court in the judicial system is the Federal Court, followed by the Court of Appeal and two high courts, one for Peninsular Malaysia and one for East Malaysia. Malaysia also has a special court to hear cases brought by or against royalty.[66] The death penalty is in use for crimes such as murder, terrorism and drug trafficking.[67] Separate from and running parallel to the civil courts[68] are the Syariah Courts, which apply Shariah law to Muslims[69] in the areas of family law and religious observances.
