“Nothing physical moves except for the residence of the Registrar of the High Court,” Liew said in a statement. He explained when the new Kota Kinabalu Court Complex became ready for occupation late last year, former Chief Judge Tan Sri Richard Malanjum felt it was time for Sabah to house the registry.
Following this the Yang di-Pertuan Agong granted his royal assent to move the registry to Kota Kinabalu earlier this month, after which the Chief Registrar issued the circular of relocation on Friday. She told reporters in Kuching that this was the mandatory requirement under Article 121 of the Federal Constitution that the chief minister must be consulted and gives his consent prior to the relocation.
