yes this time around lawyers are putting on their gloves to fight for perhaps what is right and try to seek justice but i question their motives .. is it really because an injustice has occurred .. or because this incident will in some ways or had already caused uneasiness within the legal profession that the BN led coalition government is near full swing in curtailing the Bar council’s influence or neutralising them and they now fear for their future.
