Former Chief Justice Richard Malanjum returns to practice as advocate and solicitor

Former Chief Justice Tun Richard Malanjum, 73, has officially been admitted and enrolled as an advocate and solicitor of the High Court of Malaya. Having previously served as the Chief Justice of Malaysia, Malanjum made history as the first judge from Borneo to hold this position. His admission to the Malayan Bar was conducted before High Court Judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin, with lawyer Nicholas Kow moving the motion and subsequently performing the symbolic robing.

Kow praised Malanjum for possessing both "brain and heart," qualities essential for the legal profession, while Al-Saifi Hashim, representing the Attorney-General’s Chambers, highlighted Malanjum's legacy as a digital pioneer in the courts of East Malaysia.
