Of course. That is how you learn in this industry.

Not true, I have had the pleasure of having good mentors who would take the time to teach. I make sure I do the same to my juniors. Please choose your teams wisely, there are some teams culture is good. Don’t undersell yourself. It’s a seller’s market (at the junior associate level) right now.

Hahaha, his plan is not to tackle exploitation. His plan is to raise his profile and NATO.

More support helplines and care packages and exhortations to allow remote working.

Anything but tackling the real issues - raising salaries, reducing 24/7 on-call culture, toxic bosses and unnecessary busywork

I thought he proposed increase the intake of law students?.. maybe he’s hoping the glut would return..

On another note, I heard a couple of partners lamenting that their associates like to wfh and blaming it on them being ‘introverted’? Are majority ‘introverted’ because I know most like to wfh if given the choice. Is this trait a hindrance to surviving and becoming a partner in practice?

Probably. Are there even more than a handful of Malaysians studying in NUS or SMU in the first place? I think there was a grand total of 1 or 2 Malaysians in my NUS batch years ago.

This is a very niche question which probably applies to less than 10 people per year across all 3 local law schools, so you're better off reaching out to your Malaysian peers directly. Furthermore, its hard to say how the market will respond to such a new development.

For obvious reasons and as a matter of policy, entry to the Bar is normally restricted to Singaporeans and PRs. Which is why overseas scheduled law grads must be citizens or SPRs to be "qualified persons".

Your easiest bet is to actually qualify in Malaysia and apply to work here as a foreign lawyer.
