The amendment to art.121(1) means the High Courts' jurisdiction and powers are those conferred by federal law; the separation of powers as a political doctrine is not an independent constitutional basis to invalidate s.97(2); therefore s.97(2) of the Child Act 2001 is not unconstitutional and the High Court's order to detain the child during the pleasure of the Ruler/Yang di-Pertuan Agong is lawful.
