PM speaks a different tone

In Our beloved PM keynote address to the Bar at the dinner hosted by the PM, we heard a different tone i.e. unity in diversity and vice versa i.e. we do not have to do it the traditional/conservative way but we can always do it the Malaysian way. Our PM said we share the same issues and concerns of the Malaysian Bar but we need not demonstrates as in the Walk4Justice, as we can always have an open channel of communications! As a delegate from Ipoh, we thank our beloved PM in coming to Ipoh on the 23rd Oct to launch our Ipoh CyberCentre @ Ipoh MeruRaya at the Ipoh Padang. Thank you Mr Prime Minister of Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh! Warm Regards Yee Seu Kai - Ipoh - Yee Seu Kai

Cogent. Refreshing. His Highness' latest speech is a reminder of just what a class act we used to have, both at the Bar and Bench, and just how far we have fallen from those times. Gone were the days when on average the judgements were as excellently written as they were cogent, when proceedings were in one language - English - and most were fluent with the language, when advocacy was an integral part to hearings, when during working hours one was a lawyer first instead of being thought of in other terms such as race, religion, or connections, when one could count on whatever the decision to be without the taint of corruption, when a judge or lawyer commanded some measure of pride and respect from the community. After reading the speech, I asked myself, how do we get back to then? And thought, how very, very sad it would be if we never ever make it back that way again. Fahri Azzat - Fahri Azzat
