THE PERAK BAR BLOG

MOVING TO THE WEBSITE

noreply@blogger.com (Perak Bar Blogmaster) — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 03:16:00 +0000

Dear Members,

When I first started this blog it was to experiment if the members of Perak Bar were willing to embrace technology and use this portal to impart information and updates on the activities of the Perak Bar. I believe that it has been a success. In line with that, the Perak Bar had already set up the Perak Bar Website to run concurrently with this blog with the view that we would be switching over to it full time.

We believe that the time is now. So please change your bookmarks to our Perak Bar Website in order to receive the latest updates and information of Perak Bar.

The link to the Perak Bar Website is HERE. Please do register yourself with the new website which will in turn send you an email when the page is updated.

We will be phasing this blog out and will eventually be closing it down.

Thank you.

In this regard, the Bar Council has worked closely with the Judiciary and the Attorney General’s Chambers in resolving problems that have surfaced prior to and since the implementation of the Rules of Court 2012. The Bar Council’s efforts are ongoing as there are still some issues that have yet to be resolved.

We invite Members to provide feedback on the Rules of Court 2012 and the Court Forms since implementation.

In particular, it is imperative that Members inform the Bar Council of any errors or omissions in the Rules of Court 2012 that they are aware of, so that recommendations may be made for these to be addressed and corrected expeditiously.

Invitation to a Talk on Binding Ourselves Together - Is It Worth It? The Individual, The Collective, and the Law

noreply@blogger.com (Perak Bar Blogmaster) — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:47:00 +0000

We are pleased to inform your goodselves that the Sub Committee of the Professional Development / ADR of the Perak Bar Committee presents a Talk on Binding Ourselves Together - Is It Worth It? The Individual, The Collective, and the Law, which will be held as follows :-

DATE : 1st February 2013 (Friday)

TIME : 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm

VENUE : Perak Bar Secretariat

SPEAKER : Mr. Shaun Tan

Synopsis

A war of all against all’ was how Thomas Hobbes described life in the state of nature. Throughout history humans have required strong laws backed by force to curb our natural tendency to selfishness and violence. We enter into a social contract as a necessary evil, and we bind ourselves with laws so that we can bind others. We form collectives to check each individual’s will to power, and in exchange for a measure of our individualism and our freedom, we receive order and peace.

But is this exchange always worth it? At what point does collectivism become undesirable? Excessive collectivism leaves us vulnerable to demagogy and groupthink, and the worst atrocities in our history have been committed by highly-collectivized societies, often supported by vast legal machinery, their crimes all the more monstrous for their legality. In Malaysia we often see individual rights curtailed, allegedly for the sake of harmony, national unity, and public morality.

How should the law navigate the tension between the individual and the collective? This lecture is for anyone interested in the darker side of human nature, and the role of the law in keeping it in check.
