KUALA LUMPUR (June 11): While top judges have begun getting vaccinated against Covid-19, a senior court official expressed concern over their subordinates that are magistrates, judicial officers and court staff who have yet to receive their vaccine. A random check by theedgemarkets.com with several judicial officers, magistrates, interpreters revealed they have yet to be vaccinated or have a vaccination appointment. Normally magistrates and High Court deputy registrars handle remand of people arrested by the authorities and remain the front lines of judicial officers as with court staff including interpreters. A court staff when contacted also confirmed that she has yet to be vaccinated, nor has her superior, a High Court judge. "Many staff have yet to receive their appointments as with my boss (High Court judge)," said the staff.
