KOTA KINABALU: De facto law minister Liew Vui Keong says there is nothing in law or in the constitution for the Registrar of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak to remain in Kuching forever.
“The decision to move the Registrar to Kota Kinabalu was made by the top four judges sometime in March this year. In essence, it is purely a judicial decision. The federal government is relocating the Registrar effective May 1, according to a circular leaked online. “This idea was put to the top management, who also agreed. However, the Advocates Association of Sarawak flatly rejected the idea.
