Kota Kinabalu: On the conference, Tan Sri Wong said the three-day Bicam Global ADR Horizons 2025 attracted participants from 12 countries including the United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines and Australia. 'Your presence is a testament to our shared commitment to advancing alternative dispute resolution and building a more just, efficient and collaborative global dispute resolution landscape,' he said. He reflected on Bicam's journey from its official launch two years ago, the introduction of its Arbitration and Mediation Rules in October 2023 and the recent launch of the Expert Determination Rules 2025, the first of its kind in Malaysia. Wong said the centre's vision had always been to create a dedicated platform in Borneo that facilitates not just dispute resolution but also dialogue, education and partnerships across borders. 'Bicam bridges worlds. We are rooted in Borneo, but our reach is global. We are a Sabahan initiative that speaks the language of international law,' he said. 'We connect East and West, law and industry, and emerging economies with established jurisdictions. Our strength lies in this ability to act as a conduit.' He also recounted the success of the inaugural Bicam ADR Summit in September 2024, where a modest target of 100 participants turned into 176 registrations from 14 countries, including India, Austria, Japan and Brunei. 'That event showed the world what Sabah could offer. It gave us momentum and confidence that Bicam could become a major voice in the global ADR community.' * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
