“This office wishes to inform that the relocation of the principal registry of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu will not be implemented on May 1, 2019,” she said in the circular. It is believed that the move not to relocate the principal registry could be related to the strong objections from the state government as Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg was not consulted on the matter.
Sarawak United People’s Party secretary-general Datuk Sebastian Ting welcomed the decision to maintain the registry in Kuching.
