I signed a place under RUMWIP and the appointed lawyer are also the bank panel and insist that I have to sign a letter of wavier for rights of appointing a solicitor for the loan transactions. They say it's Maybank practice.

I know the LA is only favorable to the bank but this practically means if the bank do anything wrong I am responsible? Have any of you signed this form in a loan? Is this allowable, taking my basic human rights to be defended?

Agree, and what I thought but the lawyer is asking me to sign rights wavier to get a lawyer even though I was willing to pay if there's higher cost. The lawyer says maybank will take the LA but not disperse any money unless I sign that. I hope it's just this one firm at sunway nexis, else everyone can be legally-con. I was and haven't sign any of the agreement.

Haha, not everyone is trying to save. I did not ask for free legal fees and in this case the cost is borne by me. It's paid, not free. And no, I wasn't bothered by project going south but it's that if the bank makes a mistake, I can't even hire a lawyer to defend myself. Basically they are saying I can't hire a lawyer even if I want to and is paying for it. So I am confused.
