Moving the Call of Ms Kimberley: A Special Moment Before YA Dato’ Abdul Fareed
I had the privilege of moving the call for the pupil of Mr Hardip Singh, Ms Kimberley, today before High Court JC Dato’ Abdul Fareed. Quite unique experience, Mr Hardip was the senior associate in my master’s office when I was chambering and he used to bring me along for Court matters, explaining the Court routines. Now, I am moving his pupil’s call. Further, YA Dato’ Fareed was former President of the Bar and former colleague at the Bar Council.

JAYA’S CIVIL TRIAL HANDBOOK- ESSENTIAL PRACTICE & PROCEDURE FOR MALAYSIAN COURTS’ now available for sale.
The Handbook is my humble attempt for a concise quick reference, trial companion that one can quickly flip through for a refresher or a quick answer on issues commonly faced before, during, and post trial – especially for those in the early years of their practice, something I myself would have appreciated in my early years. As stated in the preface ‘If this handbook helps make your journey as a litigator even a little bit easier – or helps you feel a little more ready in court – then this book has done it’s job.’ Many thanks to all for your wishes and kind words since the Handbook was announced. Thank you for the support. Thank you to our 16th Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun for the kind foreword. You may have left but you will not be forgotten, Tun. Much appreciation to AsiaKnowledge Law Books for undertaking the publication and successfully bringing the Handbook to fruition. Finally, glad to have had the opportunity to present an early copy of the Handbook to the man who, along with my master, guided and shaped my interest in litigation from day one – Prof GS Nijar.

Independent judiciary adds strength to the nation. Independent judiciary is not difficult to reach, it is not a holy grail; it is a given. Just don’t let anyone or anything take it away, or chip it away.
