Upcoming UMS law faculty should also strengthen native laws, says researcher


KOTA KINABALU: The soon-to-be established Law Faculty at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) should be fully optimised and not confined solely to the study of civil law, says a research committee member of the Sabah Native Affairs Council (MHEANS).

Dr Henry Bating said while this new faculty is expected to strengthen the development of legal education in Sabah, particularly within the context of its multi-ethnic society and plural legal system, it should also be seen as an opportunity to strengthen native laws.
