Help to provide legal aid for the poor


I REFER to the comment by the Chief Judge for Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Richard Malanjum as reported in the article “Lawyers warned not to overcharge their clients” (The Star, Jan 7), and I share his concern.

The practice he referred to is not uncommon in the rest of Malaysia as well. In this connection, I wish to relate something that came to my knowledge in the course of my legal career.
