take my advice if your family poor go for UOL either in atc or bac. If your family can afford you study go for UKT 2+1, if you rich den u can go 1+2. Listen me reason out. You pick to enter LLB, face it you only got one reason, you mau jadi lawyer. Ok, you can become a lawyer but let me warn you that the journey is not easy especially CLP and BAR. If you got mindset to study clp already or simply no money to study bar (120k ringgit) then I suggest you go UOL because they prepare you for the hardship you face in clp. You can pick ukt like me and go clp but end result sama also, you come back Malaysia, just that you will face cultural shock. UKT yr 1 yr 2 i never study rely on lecturer tip get 2:2. Year 3 i put some effort get 2:1. But now i doing CLP 24/7 library also want cry, 10 subjects, 9 month, 38% passing rate, if you fail miss you waste money but most important 9 months of your life(im a 22 yr old guy baylieve me 9 months worth alot when u are at my age). But then you can also go BAR, alot ppl say BAR easier than clp, but you can tell them to najib themselves because BAR even though has higher passing rate around 60% but its meticulous and the fee you pay here is 120k. Which bring me back to my first point, go uol, study hard 3 yrs, taylor don't consider becuz those are rich asses that will most likely fail their clp, den continue your clp. This is the cheapest route. Or you think you can live up a barrister standard go ukt, 1+2 and take BAR, this is the most expensive route but relatively easier than the cheap route ( still tough! just easier than clp). Or you know pergi la MMU or UUM 4 years jadi lawyer no need qualifying exam tapi got risk la their University probed by council every year, mana tau you study until 2nd year your uni kena struck off from LPA den you become rohingya :/. Alright just my 2cents from a clp student. Disregard my advice if you no plan becoming lawyer, if you want to take llb to go open chicken rice shop or jual Samsung phone, which some of my friends did, den dont torture yourself. Go lakeside taylor study business kao lui, eat high klass food, pagi see sunrise, malam still can zouk, better right?

hi can i ask you how did you transfer from practising in Malaysia to Singapore?

I will answer both questions at once.
Lawyer to Malaysian ratio now is 1:1600 as of 2016 approximately. If you compare this to other profession, nope, lawyers are not in excess but it has increased substantially if you compare to 10 years ago per se. For reference doctor to population ratio is 1:500, that is called excessive but ultimately every field face the same problem, but what makes you unique is the quality of service you provide. I.E: Are you good at what you doing?

Legal profession is unappealing when you start off, but it can be rewarding like i say depend on how you perform, how you carry yourselves in the public. By the way if you are taking a law degree only without having the intention to become a practitioner, I suggest not to do so because you will be wasting money and time. To answer your question more specifically I think that litigation lawyers in Malaysia is always needed. However, corporate, conveyancing, IP lawyers etc would gradually be weeded out. So the very notion of "appealness" would differs on what field you are practicing

you can get them from bar council and mmc website. The reason I said that is because non contentious matter is more accessible to public now, and in the future a lawyer might not be needed to transfer a house. This is a very possible scenario, in UK, transfer of title can be done online. Litigation will be based on your reputation
