    one abang told me
    to practise as lawyer here,
    got to get law degree from local u only is it correct?

  5. me 4 January 2009

    nope, you can get your degrees from other unis such as harvard, cambridge etc. there is a list of top unis, all of which their law degrees are recognised by singapore government.

    Good start. Pl advice, via TOC perhaps, how we, some ‘small citizens’ can contribute to this fund, albeit small. For those not interested, don’t belittle this effort. Ask yourself, what have you done. The least you can do, at least, provide some morale support.

    I applaud the effort of setting up the JBJ Scholarship Fund. Please let us know how to apply, the amount entitled and qualify for the scholarship. Also is it open to only local university?

    I’d like to recommend Muhd Shafiie as a fitting recipient for the JBJ Scholarship Fund.

  9. hochoonhiong 5 January 2009

    I second Seelan Palay

    hope that Shafiie can be considered as a recipient

    His practical walk on human rights put me as a uni grad to shame :P

    thats
