QUOTE(zeroonetwo @ Oct 21 2012, 03:21 PM) Problem with the industry is that lawyers are charging too low. Competing by way of predatory pricing. That's why lawyers cut on quality. Keep the profession expensive. It's meant to be that way. Especially in conveyancing. Yet Malaysians keep expecting the best for cheap and in also in good packaging ("Peng Leng Zheng"). So Lawyers keep cutting each other's throats by undercutting to survive and take in loads of cases to live on. When shit hits the fan, all Malaysian lawyers are craplah, thislah, thatlah.....

QUOTE(juchoo @ Oct 21 2012, 03:33 PM) Serious question (not being snarky). The field is saturated, the pay is low, the workload is heavy - why do people want to be lawyers? That's why I always tell people in college don't ever choose law. Life's tough.... But once you jalan that road, no choice lor...

Even if this guy is right and the quality of the graduates are low, this guy doesn't seem to be doing anything to improve the situation. He complains that the universities do not include skill learning, but their own CLP exam is just 100% exam based. They assume the ability to answer questions on a paper equates to representing a client in a court room. If he feels that local graduates are of low quality, modify the CLP first and then suggest that local grads take the CLP as well.
As for the salary issue, I do not know which world this guy is living in. When he started out as a young lawyer, he might have worked hard. But his salary was enough to survive in that economic climate. RM 2000 in KL in today's economic reality? That is chicken feed. You can't expect employees to work their ass off and also better themselves when you do not offer them any incentive to do so. Sounds like a classic case of employers not wanting to offer employee proportional increase in salary to the inflation rate.
He complains about low quality grads, but he still hired them didn't he? Why not increase their salary but make them attend workshops or offer them better guidance on how to improve their skills?

QUOTE(empire23 @ Oct 21 2012, 04:12 PM) Of course. But proportionally I feel that Gen Y-ers are more rubbish just due to the culture we grew up in. Why? 1) Entitlement complex >9000 2) All puteri lilin one, suka duk opis 3) They somehow think that they're all at the top of their game 4) They never remember their fundamentals 5) Jual mahal The same can be applied to Gen-X. Its simply a case of people forgetting how they started off.

Young lawyers are like our sp3rm, the old ones worked in the 60's 70's 80's and the new batches can come deformed, two headed or blanks This post has been edited by Love6: Oct 23 2012, 03:07 PM

from an employee's point of view, fresh grads do not deserve high pays unless they are talented and have the advantage over the other candidates. don't expect us to pay you a huge sum while you slack of your work.

QUOTE(Mr.Z. @ Oct 23 2012, 03:09 PM) The thing is... are the laws in Malaysia top notch in the first place? When a national bowler is freed even after raping an underage girl, what does it tell about our law? Country law low class, law student also low class la. It seems our citizens oso low class, can't tell the difference between lawyers, the judiciary and legislation. Worst of all, still want to tok a lot.
