Section 15 (2)
A Malayan practitioner who is a qualified person and who has been in active practice in any part of West Malaysia for a continuous period of not less than 3 years in the 4 years immediately preceding his application for admission may be admitted as an advocate and solicitor without being required to serve any period of pupillage or to attend any course of instruction or to pass any examinations.


"qualified person" means any person who -

( b ) on or after 1st May 1993 possesses such qualifications and satisfies such requirements as the Minister may prescribe under subsection (2)*; or
( c ) is approved by the Board as a qualified person under section 7.

Section 7 :
7.-(1) The Board may, in its discretion, upon an application made to it by any person who is not otherwise entitled to become a qualified person but who, in the opinion of the Board, possesses such qualification or expertise as would contribute to, promote or enhance the quality of legal services in Singapore or the economic or technological development of Singapore, approve the person as a qualified person for the purpose of this Act and issue to him a certificate to that effect.

UM is in the list of 'Institutions of Higher Learning And Degrees In Law Conferred '...

does that mean local grads of UKM cannot practise in Singapore? only UM grads can be considered?

sorry for the troubles..hope that u can help me out..thank you so much..
