Lembaga Kelayakan Profesion Undang-Undang Malaysia (Legal Profession Qualifying Board Malaysia) held its 16th Convocation at Dewan Tun Hussein Onn, Putra World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur on 28th March 2011.
There were 345 graduands receiving their scrolls on that auspicious occasion, of whom the Guest of Honour was HRH The Raja Muda of Perak Darul Ridzuan, Raja Nazrin Shah Ibni Sultan Azlan Muhibuddin Shah.
Yayasan Tun Abdul Hamid Director, Puan Ellina binti Abdul Majid and Yayasan volunteer officer, Encik Feisal bin Azizuddin were among the guests invited to witness the ceremony.
In his royal address to the graduands and all present, His Royal Highness spoke of the challenges which accompanied globalisation and the pressing need for future lawyers to be well-versed in the intricacies of the realm of international law so as to ensure the sovereign rights of our nation are well-protected.
His Royal Highness went on further to say, “It is estimated that the evolution of the legal profession in the next ten years will be greater than in the last 100 years. Each new wave will need new rules and it will increase the need for legal interaction at the international level.”
Chairman of the Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia, Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, who is also the Attorney-General of Malaysia, touched on the recent establishment of a legal aid foundation by the Federal Government to ensure that those persons charged with severe criminal offences but who were unable to afford legal representation could seek legal aid from the said foundation to ensure that their legal rights were not compromised.
Executive Director of the Legal Profession Qualifying Board of Malaysia, Ms Soo Ai Lin, presented the graduands to His Royal Highness Raja Nazrin Shah. There were 345 graduands out of a total of 706 candidates who had sat for the 2010 Professional Qualifying Examinations.
