I trust everybody is familiar with Dropbox, SugarSync or any other cloud services. Talk about your email services like Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo or your corporate emails. What about the data servers which store your information on the cloud (whether transmitted through or stored on the cloud)? How sure are you that your data is secured? (more…)

I presented a paper explaining about my PhD research progress at the 3rd National Postgraduate Colloquium held at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia on 8th of October 2011. Since I just completed the fieldwork of my research at that time, I decided to present the data collection process in my paper entitled: “Courtroom Technology in Malaysia: the Data Collection Stage”. Among the feedback given by the assessors are:
- Well explanation on the stages of data collection
- To properly triangulate between the primary data generated and secondary data obtained
- To discusss more on the theories involved in my research: the innovation society and risk society
Overall, I’m satisfied with the feedback I got from the assessors, and I will definitely take into consideration the suggestions given.

The penelists represent views from the civil court, the Shariah court, the AG Chambers, the Malaysian Bar Council as well as the Jabatan Peguam Shar’ie Malaysia.

I have not been able to update this blog as frequently as I planned, for I have been occupied for the last couple of months completing my interviews and court visits for the purpose of my PhD research. Thankfully, the process is now coming to an end, and now nearing the finalisation of the transcription process. What follows next would be the primary data analysis, which I plan to adopt the use of ATLAS.ti qualitative data analysis software version 6.2.
Being at this stage, I am glad to share this link to Atlas Malaysia blog – Atlas.ti trainings in Malaysia which is also maintained by me and another research partner.

The Malaysian courts would take another leap into the technological phase, with the proposed launching of the audio conference system at the courts in Kuala Lumpur. Audio conference is where the parties relevant to the case would be able to communicate with each other via fixed line or mobile phone without being physically present at one place. This is indeed an initiative by the Malaysian judiciary to further enhance the delivery of the civil justice system in Malaysia … Click here to read more

Face to face with the Chief Justice of the Federal Court March 19, 2010

Today there was a Special Session with the newly appointed Adjunct Professor of Law Faculty, UiTM Shah Alam, the Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Malaysia, YAA Tun Dato’ Seri Prof. Zaki Bin Tun Azmi. the session was held at the Auditorium, Chempaka Building. The speech by YAA Tun really touched my heart, especially the part where there are opportunities lying ahead, just waiting to be grabbed. There are no such things as special treatments as claimed by others e.g. the law provides for allocated scholarship for bumiputras to further their studies, but the law does not guarantee their success. It all depends in the effort put in by the students, and opportunities lying ahead of them waiting to be grabbed.
I do not know YAA Tun personally, but that day, I felt as if I know this special person – YAA Tun is a simple man, approachable and His Lordship’s words are full of wisdom. It was indeed a great opportunity to meet this special person…

On 6 and 7 February 2010, I attended an introductory workshop on ATLAS.ti conducted by Dr. Susanne Friese of Quarc. It is a very very cool qualitative data analysis software with user-friendly interface. I have tried it. I’m impressed with what it can do.
