PETALING JAYA: Sabah and Sarawak will make Malaysian history when the Federal Court and Appeals Court begin to hear criminal cases via video-conferencing starting July 9 and July 13 respectively.

This follows the successful hearing of civil appeal cases via video-conferencing in the two states since June 15.

The registrar said the presiding panel of judges would hear the cases via video-conferencing from the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya, while the accused, the public prosecutor and the defence counsel would be at a court nearest to the prison where the accused is held. The convict would be brought from the Kota Kinabalu Prison to the Kota Kinabalu Court Complex. The panel of judges would hear the case from the Technology Court at the Palace of Justice in Putrajaya.
