My dear Mr Muniandy
One swallow, my grandmother told me repeatedly before she died 45 years ago, does not a summer make.
The history of the CLP has been a long one. It began, as I said in a previous posting, as a BRIDGE to HELP law graduates who were unable to do their professionals in the United Kingdom.
Over the years, before you took over as director, it became a WALL to HINDER the same group.
For more years than I care to remember, the CLP has become a BANE for law graduates instead of the BOON that it was promised to be. It has been the subject of so many curses.
Just look at the fate of your predecessor. Very sad.
For those who are visibly challenged, a BRIDGE is a HORIZONTAL construct while a WALL is a VERTICLE one.
Mr Muniandy, my prayer is that during your tenure, the Legal Profession Qualifying Board will keep faith with the law graduates it is charged to serve and will not be visited by the scandals that marred what would otherwise have remained a solid institution.
