MALACCA: A Law Awareness Talk was held jointly by the Legal
Aid Sub-Committee of Malacca Bar and Stamford College Malacca on July 3 in the
lecture theatre at Stamford College Malacca.
A team of Malaccan lawyers led by the chairman of the Legal
Aid Sub-Committee, Mr. Nizam Bashir Bin Abdul Kariem Bashir had taken time out
of their busy schedules to share their knowledge and experience on various
topics concerning laws with about 150 students at the talk.
Besides Mr. Nizam Bashir, the speakers at the talk were Puan
Fatima Binti Tahir Ali, Mr. Jason Kay, Ms. Loong Meng Si and Mr. Kiang Jau Sang.
The topics that were shared with the students included Immigration Laws and
Rights of Foreign Students, Police, Arrest and Lock-up, Road Safety as well as
Sexual Abuse, Mental Abuse and Physical Abuse.
Students at young age are always troubled with problems that
are interwoven with their young attitude and lack of experience in life. Thus,
the speakers also took the opportunity to give their advice to the students on
the right attitude and ways in handling those problems.
A session on the founding of Befrienders Malacca and the
services provided by it was also conducted by the person in charge of
Befrienders Malacca, Mr. Jeffrey Lee.
At the conclusion of the two-hour talk, Mr. K. Narayanasamy,
Head of Centre of Stamford College Malacca, thanked all the speakers for their
efforts and encouraged the students to be good and law-abiding citizens.
