I had my ethics exam today. The questions were ok I think. Not easy but ok. What scares me now is that our papers are marked by practitioner. They are lawyers. Thus, I have no idea what their standards in marking the papers which I'm sure they gonna be strict. I hope I pass the paper.
Enough bout the exam. That's not the point I'm writing here. For those who are not in chambers, FYI, after the exam pupils will have their luncheon at Royal Selangor Club. The food sucks btw. I pre-ordered fish as a main course but they gave me chicken. I blame the iron lady for this. Haha.
The exam finished at 12.05. The iron lady then gave her talk for few minutes before we head to the club. As I registered my name to get a seat, it happens that my name is on the list of Table 1. Then, I looked at the list who else got the same table as mine. I recognized few names there. I proceeded to Table 1 and I was shocked to know that the guest speaker and the chairperson of the luncheon were also seated at Table 1. Why the hell are they giving me a seat with the guest speaker? I was so sure that he's gonna talk a lot which I don't like cause I'm not talkative. Somemore, I cannot huha-huha gelak besar la. I had to be polite along the event. Haha.
So the guest speaker was Datuk Azzat Kamaludin, the founder and partner of Azzat, Izzad & Co. He's very humble and he doesn't like people to address him Datuk. He prefers Encik Azzat. He's old for sure but his appearance is presentable which makes him look not that old. One thing for sure he talks a lot. Then, he asked Airol (who was sitting next to me) where did we go for study. Airol replied "UiTM".
Encik Azzat then straight away made a comment. It sounds like this:
"I have no offense to others but I think over the past 10 years, UiTM Law graduates are slightly better than the others"
May I correct the word. It wasn't a comment. It was a compliment.
We, the UiTM graduates were kembang punggung when we heard that from an experienced practitoner. Before this I knew that our Dean & VC has always said that but I did not know if its true. Now I heard it by myself from a successful solicitor and I'm very proud to be part of UiTM, esp the Law Faculty:-)
