PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian judiciary has introduced a paperless system for the hearing of civil and criminal appeals at the High Court of Malaya through the e-Bicara system.
In a statement, the Federal Court s Chief Registrar s Office said the system will be implemented in stages in the Malayan High Courts and the lower Malayan courts.
With the e-Bicara system, all copies of documents that the parties want to refer to the court are soft copies displayed on a LED television screen using a wireless presenter.
“The Malaysian Judiciary believes this initiative is among the substantive improvement efforts for the judiciary that emphasises the use of technology in hearing cases, apart from preserving the ecosystem by reducing the use of paper and also ensuring that the community has access to justice, ” the Registrar said in a statement Saturday (Dec 12).
