bptc not sure how useful anw. almost no sinkies doing it. 99.9% of tng lang at the inns of court are msians, cos its much easier than their own msian bar for overseas grads back home (the part a/b equivalent for msia, cant remember what its called now). the pass rate fking low, a lot of them suspect its that bumi nonsense, dunno how true. cos if i remember correctly if u local grad from university of malaya etc u exempted from taking their bar, u will be auto call after 9 mths of pupillage.

but digressing. like the only people here u see with BARRISTER-AT-LAW, INNER TEMPLE are literally from like lky or jbj that era lol, run into one in court can go buy toto liao. literally only know 1 sinkie who did bptc and he now practise as barrister in chambers in london. but he got ba juris and bcl la. if u all thought u atas af with ur raffles and hwach, u all try applying for chambers pupillage in london. nobody does elitist better than the brits
OP just burst the bubble of a lot of aspiring hci and ri dudes who want to go on to become a barrister in the city of London.
But the observations are quite accurate.
Eton and Oxford the traditional blue blood pathway
Then one of the top tier barrister sets - think Blackstone, Fountain Court, 39 Essex, along those lines. Just looking at their barrister’s list is giddying. 95% have an Oxbridge degree.
These are feared litigators globally.
