I have a few takes on this;
First of all, the Bar did not mention anything as to why UUM is not recognised. Meaning - not reasoned decision, at least to the most affected parties i.e. the UUM students. Now, is that transparent? Is that to be expected of the Bar Council?
CLP notoriously alledgely having a low passing rate, rightly or wrongly. Then at least tell the world why it is so. Saying ‘we strive to ensure the quality of the Bar’ or something like that is inadequate.
CBE and CBC? Learn the mistakes from CLP before screwing up again.
It is the reasonably expected level of a propecting chambering student but not other factors that matters. If UUM or those who failed CLP cannot attain the reasonably expected standard of a propecting chambering student, say it so and tell us all why.
Come on, you are the torch bearer, show some higher standard.
And i am not even saying this as a part of legal fraternity.
This is my say as a citizen and a stake holder of this country
And i stand to be corrected.

IMHO, most of these students probably thought by the time they finish the law degree, the CLP Board would have approved the university’s course. Too bad it’s taking so long.
On another side note, isn’t the CLP up for a review? Thought they were going to abolish it and replace it with the CBE? Maybe it’s on the back burner for the moment with the current political situation.

Checked out with the students and people will be shocked that actually MMU did advertised their law course in the papers at the initial stage emphasizing that students will be exempted from CLP, in which this can no longer be seen now. What does it indicate? I wonder how will the students be thinking about this. I personally think that this is an irresponsible act
A number of students who were doing their LLB twinning program actually transfered to the university due to the said above reason. What should they do? Heard that UUM students have been waiting for about a year for the CLP exemption issue to be settled. Meaning that MMU students will need to wait for the same time period? Is this how the education system work?People are already fed up with the politics of the nation, now here comes such problem in the education system. If a degree from a local univiversity is not recognised, why should we recognise a degree from foreign universities then?!This is just so ridiculous

it is not what they think - it is that they have been promised by the university.we recognise oral promises in law, dont we?

As a student of UUM law course, I was continually assured by the university authorities that we would be exempted from CLP upon graduation. However, looking at the situation where our seniors are left in limbo after graduating, I couldn’t help but feel anxious about our future. The question now is when will the degree be recognized and exempted from CLP? And if it does not, what is the purpose of studying this degree for an extended time of 4 years as compared to 3 years in a private institution? The sooner we know of the LPQB’s decision, the easier it is for us to determine our next course of action.

I’m one of the law graduates from UUM. So sad to say that we have been waiting from end of May until now. Not including my senior who had left in limbo for almost one year! The Professional Bodies tried to call us for interview for almost three times. Finally, we successfully to meet them between 24-26 August.
Can anyone give us any explanation? NO!!!!! Why I can’t see any big effort made by our university to push Bar Council to give us a final decision? LIVE or DIE? At least an answer!!!
My suggestion is that there shouldn’t be any CLP or CBE. We are local university students graduated from UUM. We are four years students and not three years jurisprudence students!!! But what so different between us? I can feel totally unfairness!!!
There is a high percentage that we won’t get any exemption from this examination even we had graduated. Do you ever think that there may be a quota to limit the number of candidates pass in the exam? How about the fees and time will spend for it? What if we fail the exam? I can’t imagine that i waste my four years in UUM but cannot practice as an Advocate and Solicitor!
i really feel disappointed with our legal education in Malaysia. They seem like won’t sympathize with our condition. Only if this happens to their children then they will feel the pain and shame…..
