Of the Bench and the Bar


Malaysia’s rule of law can only be upheld if these twin pillars remain independent and fearless. And for that to happen, we need to eradicate one of their main threats — the mass production of lawyers who are ill-equipped and incompetent due to poor legal training and education.

IT is always a proud moment for the nation whenever we learn of our young Malaysian students excelling in their legal studies overseas.
