THE BAR, NO STANDARD BUT DOUBLE STANDARD


In the beginning I thought I should keep my thoughts on the latest controversy between Tun Salleh Abas and the Bar Council at bay. I rather leave it to Rocky Bru, he did good job in raising this issue including putting it in such way that the Bar Council practice double standard which they did. Thanks Rocky, you are a Star.

Then came several legally qualified person gave their opinion, even the Bar issue a press statements to defend themselves by saying in such away that “it has nothing to do with them, it is the law”. In the first place, why someone like Tun Salleh Abas need legal practice certificate to be a Consultant? A consultant by definition should be someone with years of experience in legal services sits in a law firm and assists the firm by way of consultancy.

There you go, the Bar, they put it in such a way their hands are tight. All they did is asking everyone to look at the Act. Yes that stupid Act that they rely upon time and time again to show they are part of law making body, they are a Statutory Body. Poodaahh!!!….

The Bar is aware the Consultant application requirements in the provision has cause injustice to Tun Salleh Abas, do they call for repeal, abolishment, or even amendment or whatever they want to call it? They do nothing, nothing to seek justice for Tun Salleh Abas in this case.

They give all sorts of excuses not to assist him, to me it is simple, “Hendak seribu daya, tak nak seribu daleh”.

As for now, that is the Bar Council for you, EGM pun tak nampak batang hidung.
