Malaysian court cases are now streamed live on YouTube for the first time

The Federal Court of Malaysia is allowing the public to watch a livestream of hearings for the first time starting today, to keep the system running even during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The livestreams are available to watch on YouTube.

The first of the court hearings started at 10am today (seen as screenshots above) and a little bit of information on the case itself on The Malaysian Judiciary‘s livestream description box. It includes the case number, the name of the appellant, and the respondent.

On March 30, the Federal Court of Malaysia decided to conduct trials via video conferencing, after documents by the Chief Registrar on March 26 listed three plausible options for resolving cases online, either by email, using the existing e-Review system, or by video conferencing.

Although court hearings have already been shifted online since then, they were not previously open to the public. In doing so, the Chief Registrar’s Office hopes that this will ensure the public’s access to jurisprudence remains constant.

I’ve been casually listening in to the first court hearing, and even though they haven’t gotten into any introduction to what the case is about for the benefit of the public I can appreciate the participants’ interactions. Make some popcorn before watching because you can expect passionate arguments and comebacks that could rival ‘Law & Order’.
