00:00If we look at the laws that we are facing,
00:05many of our laws are inherited from the British Empire,
00:08because we know that it is a system of colonial government,
00:11the British Empire,
00:12where the countries that they colonized with permission,
00:16many laws came from their stomachs.
00:19And we can't run away from the reality
00:21where laws such as contract laws,
00:23our criminal laws,
00:24which act as judges,
00:27we know that they came from many Indian countries,
00:30who became the perpetrators of the laws that exist in our country.
00:34And if we look at this,
00:37as an example,
00:38the law that was mentioned this year, 2025,
00:41the part of the law will focus on commercial and criminal laws.
00:47That's the law.
00:48One of the powers that I mentioned in the study of the Contract Act 1950,
00:52Act 136,
00:54a power was established on January 14, 2025,
00:59which we see,
01:01it is expected that the study can be done in 18 months.
01:04And if we look at it,
01:06it is led by several judges,
01:09the Supreme Court,
01:10and it is shared by Yang Arif, Dato' Vazir, Alam Aidin,
01:13together with 20 senior officials with experience.
01:16And we hope that in the powers that look at this element of the contract,
01:20it will look at all aspects,
01:23that we can see,
01:24can see the effects of corruption,
01:27to the laws that existed in the past.
01:29This move is important to be seen as a move that I am informed of here,
01:35in terms of records.
01:36The last move to the Contract Act took place in 1976,
01:40Madam Chairwoman.
01:41And if we look,
01:43most of the contents of our Contract Act,
01:47we cannot run away from the fact that the old terms,
01:50are based on the principles of laws that are no longer relevant,
01:53with the needs of the modern era.
01:55As a result, a lot of provisions under this Act 3.6,
01:58today are unable to deal with complex issues,
02:02in transactions,
02:03especially digital transactions and trade agreements.
02:07This is a very important challenge.
02:09Because today, if we look at it,
02:11in our media,
02:12there are a lot of documents,
02:13even banks,
02:14all the documents are digital.
02:15And then we also see,
02:16the signature is also digital.
02:18And this is what they sometimes see,
02:20in terms of the burden of proof in contract cases,
02:23for example,
02:24it will be a challenge,
02:25if this move and this study is not carried out.
02:28Therefore, this authority is very important,
02:30to study the development of the Contract Act,
02:33and re-evaluate the challenges and weaknesses in Article 1.3.6,
02:37to study the important decisions,
02:40and we also see the decisions of court cases,
02:43so far,
02:44so that,
02:45sometimes, our courts also give their opinion,
02:48where it is necessary,
02:50to renew,
02:51complete report,
02:52move,
02:53the study can be done.
02:54That is the Contract Act.
02:55Now, I want to enter the Criminal Laws.
02:58The Criminal Laws,
02:59Madam Chairwoman,
03:00are even more severe.
03:01And if we look at it,
03:03the provisions in the Criminal Procedure Act,
03:07the Statute of Claims.
03:08Our Statute of Claims,
03:09in 1950.
03:11So, this is also a lot of questions,
03:13raised,
03:14from various things,
03:16such as,
03:17I gave a total of 511 sections,
03:21under the Criminal Procedure Act,
03:23167 sections in the Statute of Claims,
03:26and 444 sections in the Criminal Procedure Act,
03:31which we need to re-study,
03:33to see whether it is clear or not.
03:36Then, some are seen,
03:39maybe still relevant,
03:41and with the advancement of technology,
03:43and the development of the digital world,
03:45these criminal elements are more sophisticated,
03:48which causes the proof process,
03:51that is also a proof process,
03:53which requires sophistication.
03:56That is why,
03:57these provisions that are rejected,
03:59that will be rejected,
04:00need to be in easy language,
04:02and can be understood by the people.
04:04And on the other hand,
04:05if we look at these provisions,
04:08that we want to move,
04:09then we,
04:10these provisions,
04:11can reinforce and strengthen,
04:13the criminal justice system in our country.
04:16That is why,
04:17Madam Speaker,
04:18on the part of the law,
04:20this is one of the commitments,
04:22and achievements,
04:23that are being carried out,
04:25as part of the reform agenda,
04:28of the Madani government,
04:30so that all the people are not left behind,
04:32when it comes to the justice process,
04:35whether it is through the civil system,
04:37or the criminal system,
04:38Jinaya.
