Justice will always comes to everyone of us (that is always the God’s promise) but will everyone may always comes to justice? Those who can afford the private lawyer’s fees may easily ‘pay the tickets’ to justice though justice may resist to permit the knocked door be opened. To those who were part of the opposite areas of the globe, they may have merit cases to stand before the court of law, yet lack of either power of persuasion or worst, knowledge on how to defend. The Legal Aid Bureau may always be the answer to any aggrieved party seeking for path of redress. However, the accessibility to justice through the institution’s roles may taint with improprieties when such opportunity being dominated by those who are not eligible and unfit for the mean test. The Bureau is always firm in its principles pursuant to the Legal Aid Act 1971 (Act 26) provisions since I personally believed that, Justice must not only be done, but must also seem to be done! (Enough for dreaming applicants who wear Pagoda shirt to cover golden singlet they wear inside.)

“If any person seeking or receiving legal aid or advice in furnishing any information in his application knowingly makes any false statement or false representation, he shall be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding one thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both.”
