THE INAUGURAL KARPAL SINGH FORUM

by

MARK TROWELL QC


Introduction

I am delighted to be in my favourite city in Malaysia and to be amongst old friends ? and hopefully many new ones.

I am truly honoured to deliver the keynote address at this Forum, which is named after one of Penang's favourite sons tragically taken from us last year together with his loyal assistant Michael Cornelius.

This is the inaugural Karpal Singh Forum, which is hopefully the first of many. How fitting is it that we come together to honour him in this way.

With your kind indulgence I would like to speak about the Karpal Singh that I knew.

In doing so, I would like to share my reminiscences and reflections on a man that I observed for well over a decade or more as he confronted all the twists and turns of an exceptional life.

TOWARDS AN EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE JUDGES' EXPECTATION OF LAWYERS

by

YAA TAN SRI DATO' SERI ZULKEFLI AHMAD MAKINUDIN*


Introduction

First and foremost may I take this opportunity to thank the Dean and the academic staffs of Pusat Pengajian Undang-Undang, Kolej Undang-Undang, Kerajaan dan Pengajian Antarabangsa, Universiti Utara Malaysia and the Law Students Society, Universiti Utara Malaysia for inviting me to deliver a lecture on the occasion of this Asian Law Students Association (ALSA) National Conference 2014.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to put on record here that the invitation to deliver a lecture at this conference was first extended to the Right Honourable Chief Justice, Tun Arifin bin Zakaria. However, due to his busy schedule in the discharge of his official duties he could not make it to this conference. The Right Honourable Chief Justice has requested me to replace him and in this regard he had asked me to convey his utmost apology for not being here and he wishes all of us a successful conference.


. . .

* Chief Judge Of Malaya.
