KOTA KINABALU: The move to shift the Registrar of the High Court of Sabah and Sarawak from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu is a 'purely judicial' decision and legal, says Datuk Liew Vui Keong.

According to the de facto Law Minister, there was nothing in the law or the Constitution stating that the Registrar shall remain in Kuching forever.
