PUTRAJAYA, Jan 14 — Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat today said that technology has played a crucial role in making the courts more accessible to those seeking justice in any circumstances.
She said that the change in lifestyle and business habits, such as an increased reliance on the virtual world and physical distancing, has also affected the legal profession and the administration of justice, given that it is a very people-centric service. “Speaking of ‘zooming’ in, virtual courts have now become an indelible aspect of our system of advocacy. I say indelibly because some have queried when and whether the judiciary will be ‘reverting’ to physical hearings as the norm. I wish to make it clear that the judiciary has always embarked on technological advancements, and online or virtual hearings mark our progress in this direction.
Though acknowledging that remote hearings are not perfect, owing to technical issues with audio and the internet connection, Tengku Maimun said that the overall gain and accessibility that remote hearings bring, still far outweigh the downsides, which can be worked on.
