11 new court complexes costing RM736 million being built nationwide
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Eleven new court complexes costing RM736 million are being built nationwide as part of the government’s efforts to modernise the country’s justice infrastructure.
Eleven new court complexes, totalling RM736 million in investment, are under construction across Malaysia as part of the government's initiative to upgrade the nation's justice infrastructure. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi announced the projects, which include new court complexes in Johor Baru, Temerloh, Sarawak's Sri Aman, and Perak's Ipoh.
The Johor Baru court complex, approved in 2018 under the 11th Malaysia Plan's Rolling Plan 3, is being built on a design-and-build basis with an approved cost of RM200 million. The project will feature a fully digitalised system to streamline court proceedings, case management, and access to justice. The new facility is set to replace the existing court in Jalan Ayer Molek, Johor Baru, as part of broader efforts to enhance the judiciary's infrastructure and provide a more efficient and modern environment for the public.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said attended the Johor Baru court complex handover ceremony.
