Right, Madam President, I have now seen the clip.

The best part of it was the invocation of God's blessing at the end of the clip - what beautiful irony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the allusion to the nation's interest and of course the bouncing pot belly.

So now you as President must move. The Legal Profession Act has enough clout for immediate action. The rot has to be excised and NOW and from within the profession. The clip displays conduct that is reprehensible. Do not waste time in calling for EGMs or humming or hawing. If the Bar Council can see fit to suspend lawyers for far lesser transgressions than that displayed here then this calls for the gallows. You either move now or you don't.

On another note I can only express sadness that I have wasted close to 38 years in this profession and failed to cultivate the warm friendships displayed on the clip. Woe is me for having taken the road less travelled. Imagine the pomp and splendour and gold and glitter, and titles of course, I could have collected if I had only built up a friendship with the man with the phone in his hand - but then, on reflection, I would most probably have slit my own throat first then go down that path.

My dear Manjeet

From my fleeting instances of interaction with you, Manjeet, the Manjeet who I know is not the Manjeet who will kneel to survive. The Manjeet who I know is the Manjeet who will die standing up, not live kneeling down.

You are the battler, not the quitter. So, Manjeet, carry on the way you are. The titles are all but fleeting dross, nothing more and nothing less.

I am not anti-establishment, but I do know for sure that a lot of people who should not be decorated are decorated, thereby demeaning the titles that they so proudly display. Little do these people realise that this dross is but a gloss over their character defect.

Cheers to you, my friend.

I think MSD has a point here. The Bar council should lodge a formal complaint at the DB against the man with the phone first and foremost. Secondly lodge a police report on this scandal. Maybe only then should council then clamour for a Royal Commission. An EGM is a matter of course I believe in the circumstances.

Why has the mainstream media offered a very lukewarm/token reporting of this scandal of this magnitude? Madam President I suggest that you also issue a public statement that the mainstream media in this country has not been doing its duty by offering token reporting on this matter. The media has to play a positive role in exposing the rot that has been eating away the very foundations of this nation.
