KUCHING, May 24 — A Bill to repeal the current Native Courts Ordinance 1992 and the Native Courts Rules 1993 and replace them with a new ordinance will be tabled at the next sitting of the Sarawak State Assembly, Minister in the Premier’s Department Datuk John Sikie Tayai said today.

He said the state government has engaged a consultant to conduct a comprehensive study to determine the current relevance of the Native Courts to meet the rising expectations of the stakeholders in today’s digitalisation and globalisation era. “The outcome and recommendations therein will soon be presented to the state Cabinet for consideration and approval,” he said.

He said the establishment of the office of the Chief Registrar, Native Courts Sarawak on June 1, 1993 was a significant step into the transformation of the Native Courts.
