		<description>There are good as well as 'bad' lawyers just like there are good as well as bad doctors or professionals and you have been unfortunate not to get a good one - if it is not due to incompetent judge or the inherent weakness of your case which your unscrupulous lawyer did not tell you outright but encouraged you to fight a hopeless case so that he could earn your fee. 

When I say 'good' I mean someone who not only have technical competence  and experience in ghis professed calling on which public and client rely but the right attitude of pride in his work, translated, it means to take care of your best interest and not being overly concerned with money being first consideration.

However I agree that the last 10 to 20 years, increasingly there are more not so good professionals remaining but many commercially driven ones being spawned - whilst the ones who had traditional pride in professional work and ethics have died or retired. I won't say each and every of the younger ones in law as well as other professions are no good or have no potential. 

However, because so many professionals are pouring into the market competition becomes very keen and many professionals put their own commercial well being above all considerations. (This should not be in professions. A profession is a knowledge calling; it has tradition and ethics; it is given social respect precisely because of these and not because it makes money which is cornerstone of business, as distinct from a profession).  

No doubt the business and commercial opportunities are more nowadays but measured by Lorenz Curve they are not evenly and fairly distributed for all to survive meaningfully according to their perceived station in life. The well connected, especialy politically connected and large firms get the bulk of the plums. Many of the rest put their own survival higher than your interest as client. Very sad state of affairs, I would say.</description>

		<description>Why I said lawyers (mean Malaysian lawyers) are spinless? Making money is their main goal.

Instead of asking their deep pocket client to settle a dispute with me out of court based on the legal and technical reasons, Malaysian lawyer was writing 2-feet tall and a full of rubbish affidavit.

At the end of the day, they are like a dog chasing its tail, hit the dead wall.

My lawyer estimated that GLC has to pay at least a half millon RM fees to their lawyer for producing a several thousand pages of affidavit.</description>

		<description>Count Dracula Says: Donâ€™t mind limkamput, dark horse! Limkamput will always be a retard.

Haven't I just taught you don't use word like retard?  But then if someone is mentally challenged, then i guess he can't discern the difference btw the two.  So Dracula, do your pick, retard or mentally challenged.  Your choice.</description>

		<description>Malaya communist party did try to form ally with Chinese secret societies in 70s. In 70s, Moh Tak Chin's gang was running like Robin Hoods to salvage poor Chinese with money from the bank robberies.

The idea to work with communists was rejected by bosses of secret societies.

Indian gangsters are not just causing public safety problem, it may evolving into national security threat if this social ill unchecked.</description>
