The court will also be equipped with high-tech and child-friendly infrastructure facilities such as the court recording dan transcription system, voice-to-text (VTT), audio-visual system, visualiser and testimonial aid such as anatomical dolls,” he said during the winding up session of the Supply Bill 2023 on behalf of the ministry in the Dewan Negara.
