AAS welcomes decision not to relocate Sabah and Sarawak High Court Registry


KUCHING: The Advocates Association of Sarawak (AAS) welcomes the decision not to relocate the Sabah and Sarawak High Court Registry from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu, saying the rule of law has prevailed in the matter.

AAS president Ranbir Singh Sangha (pic) said implementing the relocation without the Prime Minister's consultation with the Chief Minister of Sarawak, as required by Article 121(4) of the Federal Constitution, would have set a bad precedent.
