Section B

1.The first and foremost function of a legislature is to legislate i.e. to make laws. In ancient times, laws
used to be either derived from customs, traditions and religious scriptures, or were issued by the kings
as their commands. However, in the contemporary era of democracy, legislature is the chief source of
law. It is the legislature which formulates the will of the state into laws and gives it a legal character.
Legislature transforms the demands of the people into authoritative laws/statutes.

Delegated (also known as subordinate) legislation is legislation made not directly by an Act of the
Parliament, but under the authority of an Act of the Parliament. Parliament has regularly and extensively
delegated to the Executive Government limited power to make certain regulations under Acts. Other
forms of delegated legislative authority include:

2.The federal government adopts the principle of separation of powers under Article 127 of the Federal
Constitution of Malaysia,[2] and has three branches: executive, legislature and judiciary.[3] The state
governments in Malaysia also have their respective executive and legislative bodies. The judicial system
in Malaysia is a federalised court system operating uniformly throughout the country. Legislative, Makes
laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate) Executive, Carries out laws
(president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies) Judicial, Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and
other courts)

3.The rules regarding what an officer must do while making an arrest vary by jurisdiction. Generally, an
arrest happens when the person being arrested reasonably believes that she is not free to leave. The
officer need not use handcuffs, or place the arrestee in a police cruiser, although police often use these
tactics to protect themselves.Police also do not have to read Miranda Rights at the time of arrest.
However, the police must read a suspect their rights before an interrogation, so many police
departments recommend that Miranda Rights be read at the time of arrest. This way, they can start
questioning right away, and any information volunteered by a suspect can be used against them. Finally,
although police will almost always tell an arrestee why they’re under arrest, they may not necessarily
have any legal obligation to do so. This depends on both the jurisdiction and the circumstances of the
arrest.

4. (A). The difference between remand on bail and remand in custody is Bail is the process whereby a
person who has been arrested and charged is released from police custody back into the community
whilst awaiting the next court hearing.If bail is refused, then the arrested person is remanded in custody
pending the next court hearing, And when a person is remanded in custody it means that they will be
detained in a prison until a later date when a trial or sentencing hearing will take place. The majority of
prisoners on remand have not been convicted of a criminal offence and are awaiting trial following a not
guilty plea. A person who is on remanded in a prison is not treated as a convicted prisoner, as they have
not yet been found guilty of any offence. They should also have further rights in prison, such as being
able to wear their own clothes and having more visits.

B).Legal factors typically include the severity of an offence and a defendant’s criminal history. Extra-legal
factors typically include a defendant’s age, gender, race and socioeconomic status. Unsurprisingly, there
is strong empirical evidence that legal factors affect bail decisions. Instead of detaining you in prison
until the conclusion of your trial, the Court may grant you bail and release you on certain
conditions.Since you are still under detention, you will need to contact someone, for example, your
relative, friend or employer, i.e. a bailor, to bail you out.The Court will usually require your bailor to pay
a sum of money into Court as a guarantee (referred to as a bail sum). Your bailor will have to manage
the administrative side of things, including attending to the process of depositing the bail sum while you
are being detained in Court.The Court can also impose further conditions such as making it mandatory
for you to report to the police station every week and surrendering your passport to the Court for its
safekeeping until the end of your case. If the Court imposes the latter condition, you may apply, and the
Court in certain circumstances, may allow you to retrieve your passport (and travel out of the country)
for a short period of time. In exercising its discretion to do so, the Court will consider several factors,
including the seriousness of the offence with which you are charged.
