Lunch with an outspoken lawyer, S

Today, I had a working lunch with a lawyer at Zhao Chow restaurant and I find him quite amazing and intelligent. He told us that a personality of a lawyer is not only  determined by which great unversity he  or she comes from but from which  mill he or she goes through his or her internship.  Like in the Chinese saying " smelly pot, grow smelly grass",  If  the foundation or the grinding is strong, the character will be strong. A tall building needs a good foundation.

After dispensing with the work, he dwell into the legal  and court system in Malaysia. It was incredible to hear that all the bad judges have been removed or replaced and now, the judges are abit more smart . The judges now comes from the legal profession and there is no more political lame ducks sitting on the bench. The court case have been cleared fast and some within one year compared to the previous year , when the court cases are piled up or blame of the files have gone missing. All kind of rediculous reasons have been given on delayed cases.

He went on to talk about " desperate people , do desperate things " which reflects on the mood of the people or Government who is afraid of losing and they will carry out all sorts of stupid actions to protect their turf. Like some people say "they have to continue eating the poison although they know it is poison . Otherwise, they will die faster ". To me, it is like protecting a " selfish and greed" culture  and  like a drowing man grapping a straw.

S moved on to talk about Penang and telling me that the Penang people thinks that they are the smartest people in Malaysia  and they are carrying a big aura on their heads. Penang people also thinks  that the Islander is better than the mainland people. All of us are Penang islander and we never raise our hands to dispute. We have too  much face already. LOL.

Well, S bid us goodbye after a three hours meeting and lunch and he has to moved to another schedule. As a passing remark, he likes the food in Penang and also the beautiful girls of Penang. S is only about 30 years old , single and a good educational background. Interested ?

Namaste.
