KOTA KINABALU: Sabah and Sarawak’s judicial history from pre-independence until today is a tale forgotten, but the information can now be found at the newly launched Judicial Museum inside the Kota Kinabalu Court building here.
Chief Justice for Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri David Wong Dak Wah said this museum, the first of its kind in Malaysia, was launched to tell the two states’ history that was overlooked since the formation of the country.
Among the artifacts in the museum is the Royal Coat of Arms - previously kept safely in Sandakan - which can only be seen at the Sabah and Sarawak Judicial Museum. He said it was only in 1888 that English law was introduced through the establishment of courts, the judges’ appointment and the enactment of the laws, hence the display of the Royal Coat of Arms in courts.
Wong said this museum will not only act as the preservation of legal artifacts and legal history but it will also enrich the lives of society by equipping them with judicial knowledge and promoting social justice.
