As the very beginning, what is the purpose of having CLP for those who wish to practice as a lawyer (advocate and solicitor in Malaysia)? The intention is to ensure the quality of the law student itself? If yes, then why the local university grad law student (UM, UIAM, UKM, UiTM) had been exempted? There should be no exemption at all! If CLP is created to control the quality of the lawyer, then all law grad law student shall have to sit for the exam and no exemption at all no matter whether you are from local university or overseas university!
However, I don't see any information showing that CLP is creating to control the quality of the lawyer but is to ensure all the practicing lawyers are able to tackle the law issues within the MALAYSIA LAW!! Sorry for saying that to all other overseas grad law student, actually for me all of us have the quality to practice as a lawyer in Malaysia after we finish our law degree, but the situation is different between local and oversea grad student because all local law grad student were been taught with MALAYSIA LAW. However, for those who are from overseas, i do believe that you all are not studying MALAYSIA LAW but the law of the country which you were studying. On the other hand, the local grad law student had been taught and trained all the time with the MALAYSIA LAW!! As such, for me, having CLP is to ensure that the overseas law grad student able to tackle the law issue and applying within the MALAYSIA LAW but not the other country's law which they learned previously. However, for those grad from overseas, if you think that you can apply all the MALAYSIA LAW into the law issue without study the MALAYSIA LAW then you should voice up and get exemption! Otherwise, you have no excuse.
Since the previous local grad law student (from UM, UKM, UIAM, UiTM) were exempted from sitting for the CLP exam, therefore I can't see why other local university law grad student are not giving such exemption! If CLP is needed for UUM law student, it means that all the local grad law student also should not be exempted and need to sit for the CLP exam with UUM law grad student. By the way, otherwise, it is unfair and prejudice against the UUM law student if UUM law grad student is the only local university have to sit for the CLP exam. Although the UUM law student are not the best law student in Malaysia but they also not the worst student in Malaysia! If the UUM law student disqualify the standard set, I do believe that there are still a lot of other local grad law student (from UM, UKM, UIAM, UiTM) are also disqualify!
Again, for those who are grad from UK, London, overseas law student, it is your decision to study at oversea. From the comment board, some of them saying that "they are from the lower middle family and need to work as part time to pay their tuition fees". What i want to mention here is that, how good your family treat you are! At least your family still have the financial power to support you and sent you to oversea! I do believe that most of the local students' family cant even pay a flight ticket for their son/daughter! How much the oversea student need to pay for their flight ticket, university/college fees, accommodation, food, other expenses...? Is it still comparable? NO! It just a stupid excuse!

I think it would be justified for appropriate authorities not to exempt UUM graduates from CLP. I read your argument as well as the use of the language and I think there is a need to do something at the referred law school.
To Anonymous,
Why do you think that UUM Law graduates should not be exempted for CLP? Because of the used language?
Is there any requirement or law clearly stated that to become a practicing lawyer, he or she must has a good english language? If yes please state it out. Thanks for your comment.
A good English learner doesn't mean he/she know to apply the law. If the anonymous think that good English is lawyer then all English teachers from the secondary or primary school also can consider as lawyer.
English is just a tool for a lawyer but not the main issue here, the issue here is unjustified of the CLP system.
If the UUM student don't have the good English then why the authorities from the local government still offer the Law Studies and producing law students every years. The blame should go to the top and not from the lowers.
Don't just know to object people opinion, give your point. Thanks.
The post was interesting to read. Even I am struggling with my LSAT study.
