Re: After 50 yrs, kangaroo court fake legal system still cannot produce 1 QC, Brunei
I disagree! It is actually wrong and misleading to say that Dr Colin Ong is the "first Singapore lawyer" to be appointed a Queen's Counsel in the United Kingdom. When one says "first Singapore lawyer" the necessary implication is that he is a Singaporean whereas Dr Ong is a Bruneian called to the Bar in 3 jurisdictions. It sounds so self-serving and also jumping on the bandwagon to claim him as our own.To say "The Singapore Bar is proud of his unique achievement" is fine though as he also practises law here! Just my 2 cents' worth!
Not wrong to say this but making it sound as if its Singapore's achievement. :oIo: :oIo: :oIo: law society
