LETTER | Let s restore Penang High Court building to its original glory
A
-
LETTER | The Penang High Court, founded in 1808, is the birthplace of Malaysia s judicial system. It is housed inside a Palladian-style building along Light Street, George Town, Penang.
To this day, the High Court sits at the top of Penang s hierarchy of courts.
However, the present state of the old Penang High Court building leaves much to be desired. It is out of bounds to the public and lawyers as well as it has been declared unsafe and remains dilapidated.
This iconic building has a glorious history that dates back to the British colonial days and I am told that the British used this building as their administration hub once upon a time.

PETALING JAYA: The Court of Appeal upheld an earlier decision in favour of RTM cameraman Mohamad Amirul Amin Mohamed, granting him RM114,470 in compensation for being injured in a shooting at the Penang Bridge.
The panel of three dismissed the appeal by security company GMP Kaisar Security Sdn Bhd, whose then employee Ja’afar Halid shot Amirul and seven others at the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway on Dec 1,2016.
Delivering their decision virtually via a Zoom meeting, they also ordered GMP Kaisar Security to pay Amirul RM10,000 in costs.
