Hybrid bidding is a safer option


I REFER to the recent debate on the online auction that is to be implemented by the High Court of Malaya to replace the manual public auction process. I agree with the High Court of Malaya that the auction process should evolve and I embrace the new concept of bidding for property at auctions online. Online auctions can reduce transport costs for bidders, save time, increase transparency and ease the process for auctioneers.

However, there are certain concerns I would like to highlight.
