Another Thought!!!

Sorry for not being able to post anything this morning. I went to court in Shah Alam this morning. I am getting used to it and I am now less nervous on meeting a judge, speaking upfront, etc. etc. Well, in short, I am more confident now compare to months ago althought I am still new. The date stated well and I manage to get everything done. I was suppose to do some file search, but I only remember about it after I passed the Toll to Subang Jaya. I made a U-turn and things went all wrong since then. I got all my documents done and headed back to office. I made a few phone calls to ask someone to join me for lunch, and I only get one of my ex-colleague to call me back and willing to join me for lunch.

But just 1 minute before I was about to leave my room for lunch, this senior partner came in and asked me for the 5 research she asked me to do yesterday afternoon. I found out she is a IT idiot and she doesn't have have software in her PC to view PDF files. I saved all the documents in her PC for her so that I do not need to print it out, but she didn't appreciate that ( now i know exactly what to do next time). She was scolding crazily like why didn't you do this and that and why print it out, etc, and why not getting me some other reports, etc. And she said, if this is not urgent, she would have spent time scolding me. But she needs me to brieft her all the cases one by one. For goodness sacks, I really cannot remember ALL the cases and hence, I was scolded for not making notes, etc, etc. Well, I was just talking to my friends on the phone 10 minutes ago and I told her, this senior partner just reminded me on 2 things: 1. A lawfirm (hereinafter referred to as 'the law firm' and 2. my previous suprerior in JLPW ( always came out from the law firm). I think this law firm is really good in 'creating' one type of lawyer........amazingly, everyone from this law firm has the same patent and those ways and patents they are exercising, they think is the most PERFECT one (well, they are one of the top 3, so... ). I just hate the styles to be honest like they are LIVING FOR THE FIRM and do not have their own patent. ... anyway, even research that they ask us to do, they never tell you which file it is for, why do you need to do such research, etc. etc. All they ask is to look for A and A includes No.1 till No.999. ... and after you got all the 1000 types of A to her, she will tell you on 900 types that, those 900 types are not what she wants. Ridiculous.. really ridiculous!!!!

Well, no choice... unless i have my own firm, isn't it? Soon.. I will really not stay too long in this city. Pathetic city !! Well, I will try to fulfil what I need to get in this City and leave this place for good soon. ... May be just for this year. Next year after bonus, cabut...!!! See, I am missing home and my SABAH already!!!!

What an experience!!!

I guess I will be posting something very interesting in courts everyday now a day...

Like I said earlier on, the court system in Malaysia or rather, the judicial system in Malaysia as a whole is not perfect. This morning, I was given 2 matters to attend. It's a simple matter because I cannot do anything complicated yet (incapable). It was a 10 minutes kind of works but it took me 3 and a half hours to get it done. As I enter into the Bankruptcy court and I noticed there are lots of lawyers standing there waiting for their turns, but the Q wasn't moving at all. Everyone is asking for its reason, but none get any answer. I was looking around and wonder... see, this is a respective lawyer's work and at the end of the day, we get scolded by clients still. These kind of job is just a nusty and not rewarding job. I saw one lawyer, handsome, neat, fully dressed with expensive and nice suit, carrying 2 very expensive pens in his pocket and he was waiting frustratedly together with me. What a career isn't it?

When I came back, I read a friend's blog and came to know about the news posted in newspaper today. I am just wondering how come we, the Malaysia feel unsecure and always make complaints about the Government. Who is at fault? What are we lawyers do or rather, the court do these days? Police officers are only interested in arresting the drug addicts and nothing else? And the lawyers are doing what? Suing people for bankruptcy and winding up? We are just trying to spoil others' life aren't we? ...

I wonder again on the issue of : who is incharge on this world? ... I bet some of us think it is us or the government or whoever you think it is, but let me remind you, God is incharge. Don't ask me why didn't God do anything about things that's happening now because I do not have an answer for you. If you want to know, you better ask God yourself. ... Some of us still think we can take charge of this country, this community, this house of yours, your own life aren't we? ... You will be suprise to find out that, you just cannot do more to change the world.. unless it is by the Lord!!!

Thought of the day!

After I came back from the Shah Alam court this noon time, I read a friend's blog. She is a lawyer and she is now in UK. Her blog somewhat made me think deeper on what I want in life. She reminded me these few days about the 'calling of God'. It is not easy to understand why God need us to be a lawyer. To many people, it is just a professions/career. To some of us, who are christian lawyers, we are quite sure that's not about it. If you were with me since I came back from England, you might know how much I have gone through and how much I learnt about the government and it's power in Malaysia. With the recent cases/issues in the newspaper, it's needless for me to explain anymore how imperfect this judicial system is in Malaysia. Basically, the police force make themselves as a seperate body from the judicial system. I am not sure why is that, but like I said, the judicial system in Malaysia is not perfect. Even in the court rooms, different court room is exercising a different system and standard. I was sitting in the court this morning to hear some hearings and trials. The judge seems understand and proper, but he is questioning on one of the transferred case that why did the other judge gave such a ruling. I was just sitting there and wonder how can these kind of system and standard convince the public/lay people? It is impossible, isn't it?

My friend's blog seems to be very 'ambitious' when she said she wanted to be a lawyer, to change the law, the judicial system and to influence the government with christianity. I once had that thought in me, but now, when I am sitting in my room in the office, I am feeling so much inadequate I am. What can I do to change the judicial system? ( I did write about God's law in my previous blog ).

I guess one of the reason I come back to KL is to do something more. I am now thinking of persuing a postgraduate course, either in Law or in Theology. I am still thinking and about to do some research on both. I know the more I climb up the hill of the judicial system, I will be nearer to the AIM. I am also trying to see if it is possible for me to be a Magistrate either in KL or in Sabah ( I do need to sit for a few examinations). So, what do you think?
