Coroner Maimoonah Aid said the proceeding would be for two weeks until Sept 4.

She also set Aug 13 for a visit to the location.

The court will call 64 of the list of 102 witnesses submitted by inquest coordinating officer Muhamad Iskandar Ahmad, with Nilai district police chief Mohd Nor Marzukee Besar as the first witness.

Lawyer Sankara Nair, representing Nora Anne’s family, also proposed to the court to call a forensic doctor who did a second post-mortem on Nora Anne, conducted in the UK.

Maimoonah also allowed the inquest to be made accessible through video conferencing facilities such as Zoom to enable Nora Anne’s family members in the UK to follow the proceedings.

However, she said, the proceedings could not be completely in English as she and most of the witnesses would speak in Bahasa Malaysia.

She agreed with Iskandar, who suggested that Nora Anne’s family seek the help of Malaysian students to translate the proceedings.

Sankara said he would forward the suggestion to his client.

Nora Anne went missing on Aug 4, a day after she and her parents arrived in Malaysia for a two-week holiday at a resort in Pantai here.

Her body was found on Aug 13 near a stream in a hilly area, about 2.5km from the rainforest resort, following a massive search.

The post-mortem report stated that there was no criminal element in her death and it was established that she died due to gastrointestinal bleeding from hunger and stress over a prolonged period.
