BEIJING (AFP): China's embassy in Manila said Monday (Oct 23) it had lodged a complaint with the Philippines, after two collisions between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the disputed South China Sea.

PUTRAJAYA: The services of former judges and lawyers are needed to be appointed to conduct the mediation process in the Legal Aid Department , says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

Speaking to reporters after launching eKlinik Guaman 6G JBG here Monday , Azalina said that JBG would also get the services of lawyers and non-governmental organisation legal practitioners to act as mediators, subject to cases that need to be handled. Azalina said mediation sessions can be conducted not only physically but also online to facilitate the public, as well as reduce transportation costs for the parties involved.

In addition, Azalina pointed out that JBG handles a significant number of syariah cases, leading to the perception that the department focuses primarily on such cases.
