Diploma students from the Business Department of Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL) participated in an educational visit to the Palace of Justice, Putrajaya, accompanied by three facilitators from the Tertiary Department. The visit aimed to deepen students’ understanding of the legal frameworks that influence and regulate business activities in Malaysia.
The programme began with a briefing in a Court of Appeal courtroom, where court officers provided an overview of key legal concepts, including the sources of Malaysian law, the court hierarchy, conflict of laws, and the principles of equity and fairness. These foundational concepts are essential for business students as they relate closely to corporate governance, marketing ethics, digital business compliance, and financial technology regulations.
Students were also guided through the Court Library, which houses an extensive collection of law reports and legal commentaries. This exposure helped students appreciate the role of legal research in interpreting regulations and understanding policy requirements. A subsequent visit to the Judicial Museum offered insights into the historical evolution of Malaysia’s judiciary and its continued commitment to justice.
The visit concluded with the presentation of judicial souvenirs for the MCKL Library, marking a valuable learning experience beyond the classroom. This field trip enhanced students’ legal awareness and reinforced the importance of legal literacy within the business profession.
