KOTA KINABALU: Upko will continue the fight to elevate Sabah’s native court to be on equal footing with the civil and syariah courts, says its president Datuk Ewon Benedick.
He said the state has all these three court systems but the native court, which presides over matters involving customary rights and practices of the state’s Kadazandusun Murut Rungus community, was considered as the lesser compared to the other two.
He said speaking to reporters after launching a state native customary laws literacy seminar in the Kota Belud district on Saturday He said he had also proposed for a native court building to be built in Kota Belud, hoping it could be implemented under the 13th Malaysia Plan .
