Comments for Bar Council cries foul over banks’ discriminatory ruling at http://www.malaysianbar.org.my , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.malaysianbar.org.my Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:44:12 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/bar_council_cries_foul_over_banks_discriminatory_ruling.html#pc_2695 <p align="justify">What about certain Banks' discriminatory practice against sole proprietorships, whereby such firms are not allowed to do certain things. It would appear that a sole proprietorship is deemed an unstable and a untrustworthy entity.The Banks must have been advised by some of our brethren.Can we also tackle this type of discrimination? - Ng Hong Chai Sun, 06 May 2007 22:56:29 +0100 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/bar_council_cries_foul_over_banks_discriminatory_ruling.html#pc_2692 <p align="justify">If I am right, only certain elements at high levels within the banks involved will be going for such a pea-brained policy. When such policies are advocated, the rest will, in the name of Malaysian politeness, just go along - thus making such a policy become the policy of the banks. These elements must be identified and rooted out of the banking system. The job of the Bar Council is to ensure that such long-term anti-national policies never see the light of day. Let us soldier on, Ambiga. I am 100 per cent behind this move. - Stephen Tan Ban Cheng Sun, 06 May 2007 22:08:17 +0100 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/bar_council_cries_foul_over_banks_discriminatory_ruling.html#pc_2691 <p align="justify">Which are the banks concerned? Was it published in any of the news papers? - David Soong Tshon Li Sun, 06 May 2007 22:05:56 +0100 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/bar_council_cries_foul_over_banks_discriminatory_ruling.html#pc_2690 <p align="justify">Way to go, Ambiga! This is yet another example of the Bar Council's ability to help and defend the members of the Bar. I hope the BC can follow up with the case and ensure that this policy is not steamrolled through. Affirmative action is another good way. However, there are a few firms who would rather compromise their principles by adhering to the requirement for the sake of getting the work. What about the rest? Can many firms afford to boycott? The best is for the BC to help us in solving the problem by consultation. - Nicole Tan Lee Koon Sun, 06 May 2007 15:43:27 +0100 http://www.malaysianbar.org.my/bar_news/berita_badan_peguam/bar_council_cries_foul_over_banks_discriminatory_ruling.html#pc_2689 <p alin="justify">There are many banks in Malaysia. If any particular bank imposes such condition, don't do any business with that bank. Market forces will then determine whether such condition is business-friendly or not. Affirmative action mah! - Lim Sey Wee Sun, 06 May 2007 14:44:25 +0100
