KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 (Bernama) -- The Asean Law Association of Malaysia will consider extending the Asean Student Exchange Programme to other countries in Asean, association president and Chief Justice of Malaysia Tun Zaki Azmi said.
He said this would be based on the evaluation and feedback obtained upon completion of the programme's pilot project involving officers from the Cambodian Ministry of Justice, which he launched at the Royal Selangor Club, here.
"This project is the first of its kind undertaken by an Asean country. It is therefore a historic moment for us," Zaki said in his speech on Monday.
He said the aim of the pilot project was to provide an opportunity for these officers to understand the legal system and laws in Malaysia.
The programme involved seven officers from Cambodia, who will be in Malaysia from Aug 2 to 8.
Zaki said the programme was also part of the association's contribution towards regional cooperation.
He said Malaysia played an import role in the establishment of the regional organisation and the Asean Law Association had its origins at a conference hosted by the Indonesian government in February 1979.
He said the pilot project was organised with the support and assistance of the Cambodian Ambassador to Malaysia Princess Norodom Arunrasmy, who was present at today's event.
As part of the programme, the Cambodian officers would be taken on visits to Parliament House, the Regional Centre for Arbitration, the Sungai Buloh Prison as well as the Kuala Lumpur Police Headquarters.
