KUALA TERENGGANU, July 19 (Bernama) — The state government today launched Terengganu Lawnet, an integrated digital repository system for legal documents that can be accessed more easily by any party in need.
State Trade, Industry, Regional Development and Administrative Wellbeing Committee chairman Datuk Tengku Hassan Tengku Omar said Terengganu Lawnet was developed in collaboration with the Terengganu Strategic & Integrity Institute (TSIS) and a group of researchers from Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA).
He said the collection of all legal documents in one integrated digital system would also make it easier for potential investors to obtain information on laws in Terengganu.
“Terengganu Lawnet can be used as a comprehensive one-stop reference to help administrators, government agencies, foreign and local investors as well as those wishing to obtain accurate and up-to-date information on Terengganu state legislation.
“Along with the development of the industrial revolution (IR 4.0), updated certified online information is very much needed. In addition, there are various laws and regulations that apply in Terengganu that are different from other states,” he said in a press conference here today.
Terengganu State Secretary Datuk Tengku Farok Hussin Tengku Abdul Jalil and Terengganu State Assembly Speaker Datuk Yahaya Ali were also present at the press conferece.
Commenting further, he said Terengganu Lawnet will be expanded in the form of an app that can be downloaded onto smartphones in the near future to be more easily accessible to anyone at any time.
“I will introduce Terengganu Lawnet to 200 investors in a seminar organised by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) in Kuala Lumpur on Aug 25 to attract their interest to look at the investment potential in Terengganu.
“The state government will also continue to improve such innovations and initiatives so that we remain relevant in line with rapidly changing times and environment for the good of all parties that benefit the people,” he said.
