Penang High Court, Courthouse in George Town, Malaysia.
Located at Light Street in George Town, the Penang High Court features a Palladian architectural design crafted by architect John McCallum in 1903.
The Supreme Court originated in Fort Cornwallis in 1808 through a Royal Charter of Justice issued by King George III of Great Britain.
The judiciary building represents the introduction of the British legal system in Malaysia, marking a shift from traditional dispute resolution methods.
The courthouse operates from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays and provides electronic filing services for legal documents and proceedings.
The construction of this judicial building in 1903 required an investment of 206,678 Straits dollars, a substantial amount for that period.
