TUARAN: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor has called for the Legal Aid Department’s Justice on Wheels (JoW) programme to be extended to more interior areas, ensuring rural and underprivileged communities in Sabah gain fair access to justice.

Speaking at the JoW event in Tuaran delivered by Rural Development Minister Datuk Jahid Jahim, Hajiji said the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to inclusivity and public awareness of legal aid services.

Since its launch in Sabah in January 2024, the JoW van has reached multiple districts, with 28 programmes carried out nationwide this year.
