Lawyers come together with one love, one heart for charity

Back Up performence from the Band

Fri, 13 Jul 2007 12:12:11 +0100

I must also congratulate the Band which backed up the KL Bar Idol finalists. As usual, they performed very well. Mark Ho and his boys have definitely led the way. The same band have tirelessly supported the Charity Nite event since the 1st one in 2005. The recent back up performance makes it a 3-in-a-row show. They have performed at virtually no costs except some disbursement. It is also very possible that the All-Lawyers Band will continue to support the future Charity Nites without charging any fees. Bravo to them and all applause to our very own Band!! Richard Wee Thiam Seng - Richard Wee Thiam Seng

meaningful night!

Congratulations to the YLC for organising such a great and historical event, which I am proud to be a part of. I hope that this will set the benchmark for many many more Charity Nights to come. Alan Teoh Kheng Huat - Alan Teoh Kheng Huat

Excellent idea

Great Idea Shan. It is certainly in the pipeline. Hopefully the MLC will provide the opportunity to bridge the divide between the Bars of Peninsular and Sabah and Sarawak. Dipendra A/L Harshad Rai - Dipendra A/L Harshad Rai

Nationwide

A nationwide charity night would be good. It may be an idea to reach out to our brethren in Sabah & Sarawak? ;D Shanmuga Kanesalingam - Shanmuga Kanesalingam

A Night To Remember

Sat, 07 Jul 2007 14:21:38 +0100

Kudos to all participating states coming together as one, planning and executing the West Coast Charity Nite successfully. I'm proud of the Bar and the young lawyers for doing such an excellent job. Hopefully we could have more states participating in next year's event, if at all there's one. Is there?? He! He! Just curious... To those working behind the scenes... especially the Committee, a job well done. Benjamin Sathyanandam - Benjamin Sathyanandam

Great Night for a Great Cause

Sterling performances by those who worked it out on stage and those who worked behind it. Well done to the KLYLC! Patricia Woo Yin May - Patricia Woo Yin May

Faith, Hope and Charity

In the end, it's all about the Homes that benefited from this Charity Night. We had faith in ourselves, we hoped the best for the Homes adopted, and we showed charity (love) most of all. Desmond Ho Chee Cheong - Desmond Ho Chee Cheong

Thosai or Dim Sum after Charity Nite?

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 18:44:16 +0100

Sunil - that sounds like a good idea!!! May I add some Teh tarik with Roti Canai or Nasi Lemak! ;) Richard Wee Thiam Seng - Richard Wee Thiam Seng

Charity morning after?

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 17:39:27 +0100

I'm sure the proceeds from the event will put a much needed smile on the faces of the underprivileged. It was undoubtedly a great night of fun and I have vague memories of lawyers dancing like they were in a music video. Perhaps charity night should be followed by a morning of recovery at some designated dim sum or thosai place. Can ah? Sunil Lopez a/l Ceasar Lopez - Sunil Lopez a/l Ceasar Lopez

We did it!

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 21:04:58 +0100

I feel very proud to be a part of the committee helping out during the Charity Night itself. Even though at the end of the night I feel exhausted due to walking around with one of the contestant's donation box to get donation, I was touched by our peer that has donated so much into the boxes. I think we should all be very proud of ourselves having done something meaningful for this society! I personally think that charity Night should be held every year and I hope that I would always be a part of it! :) Sheryl Tan Sheik Ching - Sheryl Tan Sheik Ching

Kudos to YLC

The YLC has pulled another surprise which many people thought it was an impossible task. All I can say is that I am honoured to be part of the committee. :P Lai Chee Hoe - Lai Chee Hoe

A Smashing Nite!!!

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 19:30:16 +0100

To just thank everyone who has participated in the West Coast Charity Nite, especially those in Kuala Lumpur, is wholly inappropriate. You all deserve nothing less than a big cheer!!! An acquaintance suggested holding next year's event on a field! Well, this is just the beginning of more great things to come.. it might just happen one day. Well done everyone!! Vincent Tey Wei Seng - Vincent Tey Wei Seng

Well Done NYLC and the State YLCs!

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 15:00:16 +0100

Well done to the 4 states who organised and collected for the various charities. Though the sums may be small for some states, nevertheless it is heartening that young lawyers have taken time out of their busy schedules and helped organise such a big affair. A very big thanks to those who donated their time and money in making the West Coast Charity Nite 2007 a success! This augurs well for the future of the Bar! Lets hope that this will only be the first of many more interesting and good projects in the future. We MUST be proud of this event!! A big round of applause and a standing ovation to the organisers and their sponsors for this event! Kenny Lai Choe Ken - Kenny Lai Choe Ken

Well done to all!

It was a privilege to play some small part in the West Coast Charity Nite '07. Well done to all the respective state YLCs, and thank you to the entire Bar for supporting the whole event. It was an absolute blast organising the KL Charity Nite, and it is heart-warming to see the record amount raised for the charities. Here is to many more years of successful Charity Nites, all cross the country! Lee Shih - Lee Shih

Historical Night

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 12:54:25 +0100

The West Coast Charity Nite was an awesome project. It was a tiring effort and took up much of the time, of the organisers. But it was worth it to see so much money collected for the charitable organisations. The contributions will help better the lives of many people. It was a historical night, as never before has state YLC joined forces to carry out this massive social and welfare project. I think this fact has not sunk in yet, amongst the Young Lawyers who organised the West Coast Charity Nite. In summary, the collections were:- 1. Perak - RM4,000 2. KL - RM35,000 3. Melaka - RM4,500 4. Johore - estimated to be around RM3,000 to RM6,000 Total attendance for ALL Charity Nites almost touched 1000 people. So for ONE special night, almost 1000 lawyers took time off to relax and raise funds for Charity. June 29th 2007, will go down in history as the night the Bar saw the BIGGEST Fund Raising party ever. We all should be proud of this. :) Richard Wee Thiam Seng - Richard Wee Thiam Seng

United we stand, Divided we fall

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 12:45:41 +0100

The Coming together of 4 state bars for a charitable cause only augurs well for the Bar as a whole. We have demonstrated the compassionate and charitable side to us all and yet at the same time created an excellent atmosphere for us lawyers to have fun. Despite the event being largely organised by young lawyers, the successful charity nites would not have been possible but for the continued support and spurring on by the senior members. I am heatened by this and for that one night I saw all lawyers irrespective of any belief, religion and persuasion gather, mingle and support in the name of charity. This should give us all hope to carry on for the future. Dipendra A/L Harshad Rai - Dipendra A/L Harshad Rai

CONGRATS TO ALL PARTICIPANTS

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 04:25:04 +0100

My heartiest congratulations to all lawyers who took part in the charity fest. It can only do good to your lives. I am saddened that Penang has been excluded in the whole exercise because we in Penang do not have a Young Lawyers' Committee. So far, no one from the Penang Bar Committee from the chairperson down has chosen to explain why Penang has chosen not to have such a committee when most other States have them. Why the initial and continued silence? Stephen Tan Ban Cheng - Stephen Tan Ban Cheng
