1.0) Introduction

A student's life would be incomplete without practical training. Practical

training is goal-oriented and diversified work that builds competence in connection to

the professional area and working life for the student. Practical training allows

students to engage in identifying and assessing the field's growth requirements. For

the practical training phase, competency targets are established. Practical training

must give students with goals-aligned challenges and work direction. Practical

training is linked to the student's field's curriculum as well as the student's learning

process.

The practical training is intended to be an exchange. In exchange for the

chance to learn new skills, enhance his or her knowledge of a particular profession,

and explore career choices, the student promises to conduct work that will help the

host company. Internships are provided by employers for a variety of reasons. They

consider student interns as valuable and cost-effective tools that allow them to

complete initiatives that would otherwise be impossible. Interns, they feel, bring

passion and new ideas to the workplace and help to develop effective workers.

Equally important, corporations have a growing commitment to education and wish

to assist students in becoming responsible members of society.

The goal of practical training is to expose students to real-world work

experiences while also gaining information via hands-on observation and job

performance. Students will gain skills in work ethics, communication, management,

and other areas as a result of their industrial training. Furthermore, this hands-on

training programme enables students to connect academic knowledge to actual

implementation in the industrial world.

4
The objectives of industrial training are to give students the opportunity to test

their interest in a particular career before making long-term commitments, to develop

skills in the application of theory to practical work situations, and to develop skills

and techniques directly applicable to their careers.

Internships help students develop a feeling of responsibility and solid work

habits. It is also intended to expose students to real-world work environments and

help them obtain expertise in preparing reports for technical works/projects.

Furthermore, internship kids will do better academically. Internship programmes will

boost students' earning potential when they graduate.

Students would be able to gain strength, teamwork spirit, and self-confidence

in their life, as well as boost their creativity and sharing ideas. In general, students

get solid communication skills with a group of workers and learn suitable corporate

behaviour in the industrial field. Essentially, during their instruction, the student will

be able to teach positive moral ideals such as accountability, dedication, and

trustworthiness. Finally, another way that practical training might improve a student's

life path is that it helps them obtain jobs after graduation.

2.0) Background of the Company

At the very initial stage, the company was established in the year 1977,

founded by Mr. Brijnandan Singh Bhar. Brijnandan Singh Bhar & Co was established

on 1st March 1977 in Alor Setar, Kedah by sole practitioner and founding partner,

Brijnandan Singh Bhar.

Armed with a few files, Brijnandan concentrated on the insurance field, with

particular emphasise on motor insurance claims and criminal cases.

Advisory and litigation work was undertaken for major insurance companies

and private individuals.

With increasing clientele demands, Brijnandan established his next office on

the Penang Island in 1981, continuing to build up a reputation in the motor and

general insurance fields.

In 1991, with further opportunities presenting itself and with the increasing

demand of private and public entities, insurance companies and private individuals

requesting for the firm's presence in Kuala Lumpur,Brijnandan established his next

office in the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur.

Today, Brijnandan Singh Bhar & Co is at the forefront of a wide spectrum of

complicated and complex deals and cases that have been widely reported in the

media and legal journals.

Generally, the legal service this company provides is of numerous branch of

law which includes Tort, Medical Negligence, Commercial, Constitutional, Criminal,

Appeals and Banking and Finances. Besides court litigation, Alternative Dispute

Resolution is also being used as a medium of resolving legal matters by this firm.

6
Going into details, beginning with the principal himself, Dato’ Brijnandan Singh

Bhar DSPN (Penang), Barrister at Law (Middle Temple, London). Brijnandan has

more than 40 years of experience at the Bar. He was called to the Bar of England

and Wales in 1971.Thereafter, he joined the chambers of Michael Carr QC as a pupil

before returning to Malaysia. He was called to the Malaysian Bar in 1972 and

commenced practice with a bespoke law firm, focusing on key areas of criminal law

and general negligence matters. In 1975, Brijnandan had the privilege of appearing

at the Privy Council, London.In 1977, Brijnandan established his own firm

specializing in the areas of criminal and negligence law.He appeared in cases

emanating from the Magistrate's courts right up to the then Supreme Court.

Following this, he then set up several other offices in other states of Malaysia due to

clients' demands. Brijnandan is constantly involved in several groundbreaking

decisions in the legal field.

In March 2021, Mr. Mohammad Hafizuddin joined Brijnandan Singh Bhar &

Co Associates in Alor Setar branch. Mr.Mohammad Hafizuddin is a qualified

LLB(Hons) from University Utara Malaysia (UUM)

General Comments on the Company’s Facilities and Amenities for Staffs

When it comes to employee facilities and amenities, I believe the organisation

does an excellent job of creating a welcoming and functional work environment. It is

sufficient in a variety of ways.

To begin with, in terms of location, having the firm located in the city centre of

Alor Setar contributes significantly to the chance of the business running indefinitely

since it is extremely easy for people to access the office. Furthermore, having courts

so close by, as well as being surrounded by other legal offices in adjacent cities,

makes contact, both online and physically, quite easy. Furthermore, the corporation

engages a runner to handle correspondence activities, making such connection

almost impossible.

Furthermore, the organisation is completely equipped with media and

technology that would allow legal activities to be completed. The photocopier is very

smart, inventive, and simple, allowing us to complete paperwork at the touch of a

button. Staff PCs are sophisticated, with adequate functionality to ensure great

performance. In addition, there is a section packed with books containing important

legal content that might be used as a reference. As such stuff is widely available, this

ensures that the job performed by these lawyers is reputable and trustworthy.

Such facilities and amenities supplied by the firm for its employees are

adequate to enhance productivity and high-quality job execution in the workplace.

3.0) Tasks and Responsibility

As a diploma in law graduate with extremely minimal legal understanding, I

was not assigned many assignments during my internship. Nonetheless, my boss

informed me, and I feel that even my smallest effort and contribution goes a long

way toward assisting the staff in preparing a credible show for the public. During that

time, though, my major emphasis was on how I might benefit myself by instilling and

nurturing new knowledge and talents in myself.

There are two parts of this section which includes routine sections and special tasks:-

i) Routine

- Doing VCR transcription.

- Assembled copies of crucial court related documents which include

Bundle of Authorities, Statement of Claim, Letter of Demand, Writ of

Summon, Appeal Records and etc.

- Drafted documents such as Affidavit, Writ of Summon, Statement of

Claim, Outline of Submissions, Retainer Agreement, Opinion of

Quantum & Liability and etc. accordingly (sample was given)

- Drafted letters serving to law firms, court and parties to a case

(Plaintiffs, Defendants, Appellant, Respondent) such as Writ of

Summon and Statement of Claim at the same time attaching relevant

documents accordingly . (sample was given)

- Looked out for precedent case laws as stated in affidavits to extract

and compile to eventually form Bundle of Authorities.

- Binding bundle that will sent to the courts and defendant council.
9
- Highlighted important laws, authorities and quotes by the judge in the

case laws in the Bundle of Authorities.

ii) Special Tasks

- Prepared witness statements along with the present of Plaintiff.

- Did some research on a medical treatment (Laparascopic

Appendectomy) – procedures, risks, when to derive, diagnosis for such

treatment.

- Joined the supervisor in a meeting with a client (harassment matter).

- Went to a government hospital (Hospital Lama Alor Setar) to serve

Sepina to A doctor and discuss about slow learner OKU patients

conditions and prepared witness statements.

- Cleaned the storage (arranging old files, eliminating unnecessary

items, put out trash, recycle)

- Searched for precedent cases in which such application is allowed on

the basis of having the phrase “without prejudice” in a letter is not being

admitted.

- Prepared letters to request medical report, relevant police documents

and confirmation of risks from hospital, police station and Insurance

company respectively at the same time attaching relevant documents

with the letters.

- Prepared letter for Sepina to be served to Investigation Officer (IO),and

related doctors to attend court proceedings.

10
iii) Problems Encountered and Problems Solved

One of the most memorable incidents I recall was when there was a little

technical mistake with the photocopier while I was in scanning mode. When

scanning a thick stack of papers with the sides pierced for binding, some of the

papers were stuck/ attached to one other, preventing the scanner conveyer from

scanning all of the papers individually and creating the scanned products in a

single document. As a result, the issue develops when there are certain page

shortages in the final scanned product.

Though it may appear to be a tiny issue, such a minor inaccuracy would result

in a very bad work performance, especially in the legal profession where

everything must be carefully reviewed because such document is court

connected. As the clock was ticking, it took me hours and many efforts to get

things perfect. The entire set of scanned papers have to be supplied on the same

day. Several different methods were tried, but they largely failed because they

added extra complexity and threats to the end product's quality.

We were able to overcome this difficulty with the generous assistance of one

of the staff members there by just placing such stack of papers reverse versa (not

the pierced side of the documents) in the conveyer, allowing it to scan separately.

Though the final scanned result is inverted, we were able to turn it upright by

utilising the computer's rotate tools. That was how the issue was resolved.

v) Skills Obtained throughout Practical Training

First and foremost, having mental fortitude is a talent that I was able to

acquire from day one of practical training. Being in a job, particularly in the legal

area, forced me to face new obstacles and duties every day, necessitating the

ability to perform under pressure. This involves being a problem solver whenever

the situation calls for it. This had prompted me to prepare mentally and physically

for the days ahead.

Furthermore, accuracy. Pointing out once more the accuracy and scrutiny that

people pursuing law fields should have in performing tasks, such values that I

could witness from my principal in the way he pointed out minor errors in my

piece of work really opened my eyes on how important it is to observe the little

things in what we do in ensuring the quality and productivity of such work done.

As a result, I've taught myself proper communication skills, whether verbal or

written. Having to deal with business letters and meeting strangers to interact on

occasion, I've learnt that articulateness is crucial, especially in the job. This also

includes being a good listener and embracing diverse points of view and

opinions, because individuals, especially in the workplace, come from a variety of

backgrounds.

Finally, collaboration is essential for making aspirations a reality. Being

surrounded by coworkers with diverse abilities and viewpoints greatly improves

workplace job quality. Delegating jobs and responsibilities makes things easier

and more achievable. Most significantly, I was able to foster excellent working

relationships that aided everyone in meeting goals.

4.0) Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)

Norms Explanation on Operation

Operation Hours 9.00 a.m. to 5.p.m. from Sunday to Thursday.

Daily basis norms in the company includes the furnishing of various

paperwork like Writ of Summon, Statement of Claim, Notice of

Daily Routine Demand, Bundle of Authorities, various Affidavits which mostly are

(Tasks) court related matters. Thus, there was a perpetual interaction with

courts through such different mediums as email, fax, courier, post and

so on.

Correspondences activities was taken charge by a runner on weekly

Correspondences basis. An indication of such letters having been obtained is through

Activity stamping or sealing which is part of the essentials in correspondence

routine.

Legal practitioners ought to involve in court proceedings occasionally

Court be it physically and online. Thus, commuting to courts of different

Proceedings region is fundamental for them. Hearings that are held online on the

other hand

may just require them to stay in the office.

16
5.0) Application

Being a diploma student whose qualification is finite, required to spring into

the workplace at a very early stage, the application part is rather challenging. This is

such because based on my experience, I am of a view that there was a fine line

between the theoretical aspect and its application in the workplace. The relation

between studying legal principles and having to use and apply in the period of me

performing in the company is almost imperceptible. I spent most of the time during

my practical training phase not comprehending the actual nature of what these staffs

were doing but only to a certain extent instead. Thus, my sense of ownership and

knowing the drill in what I was doing seemed very shaken. However, after a thorough

observation of how these legal practitioners operate on a daily basis in the work

place, there might be a few things I could point out.

i) Connections between Theoretical Principles and Practical Application

The most obvious correlation between legal theories that I was taught in

lectures and its application in practical aspect is procedures. To have studied

Introduction to Civil and Criminal Procedures in diploma level may have enabled me

to acquire some knowledge of the formalities required upon legal practitioners in the

field of law.

Working in law firms is not just about dealing with private individuals but we

are essentially also bound with courts. Thus, a great sense of formality needs to

applied. All those court related paperwork done such as Writ of Summon, Statement

of Claim, Notice of Demand, Bundle of Authorities, various Affidavits which I had the

opportunity of being exposed with are furnished for the sake of courts’ satisfaction.

With that being

17
said, any conduct by legal practitioners are guided by the Courts of Judicature Act

1964, being considered their “holy book”.

One provision in this particular Act that I could note being applied in the

workplace is how the court related paperwork I had mentioned above shall be

stamped and sealed by the Registrar of the court in order for them to be credible and

put into operation.

Section 7 (1) of Courts of Judicature Act 1964 provides :-

All writs, summonses, warrants, orders, rules, notices and mandatory processes

whatsoever, whether civil or criminal, shall be issued and shall be expressed to be

issued by the Chief Justice, President or Chief Judge, as the case may be, in the

name of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and shall be signed by the Registrar and

sealed or stamped with the seal or stamp of the Court issuing or making the same.

Apart from that, I have also been given lectures on “cause of action” in this

particular subject during diploma. Reading through documents and cause papers of

a particular case pertaining breach of contract, I may have come across these terms

being mentioned. I was entrusted to draft a Stay of Proceeding Notice on behalf of

the defendant at the same time jotting down basis on claiming that the opposing

parties did not have a cause of action to commence a civil action against the

defendant.

18
Another essential legal principles that I have learned in law school in which I

was able to apply in performing my task is regarding jurisdiction of courts. I was

entrusted to decide which court shall be opted while being given a case. Having to

assess its facts pertaining the amount of monetary claim and where such dispute

took place, that was when the concept of hierarchy of courts was being applied.

Besides, considering where such dispute was situated lead me to have referred to

S.23 (1) of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 in deciding which court to opt.

S.23 (1) of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964 provides :-

Subject to the limitations contained in Article 128 of the Constitution the High Court

shall have jurisdiction to try all civil proceedings where--

(a) the cause of action arose;

(b) the defendant or one of several defendants resides or has his place of business;

(c) the facts on which the proceedings are based exist or are alleged to have

occurred; or

(d) any land the ownership of which is disputed is situated, within the local

jurisdiction of the Court and notwithstanding anything contained in this section in

any case where all parties consent in writing within the local jurisdiction of the

other High Court.

19
Besides, I also had the chance of attending a hearing before Magistrate Court

and Sessions Court in Alor Setar during my practical training period. One of the

hearing that I can clearly remember is where The hearing was pertaining a tort-

negligence case which was happen during the plaintiff riding a motorcycle then

suddenly a car driver which is driving 30 meters away from the motorcyclist has

turned to left without giving any signal. Then During the cross-examination stage, I

was able to witness lawyers extracting answers as evidence in court from the

enquiries made upon the litigants. Studying law of tort had got me familiarised with

the hearing as I was observing how both of the parties be it the defendants and the

plaintiffs were trying to be proved liable with negligence, bringing upon the three

essential elements of such namely duty of care, breach of duty and proximate cause

& injury.

Differing from criminal cases in which the standard of proof is beyond

reasonable doubt, the standard of proof in civil cases generally is the preponderance

of probability. Having witnessed the cross-examination, the lawyers proceeded to

extract reasons in proving which party is likely to hold a higher degree of probability

compared to the other. That was when the “preponderance of liability” comes in

which I spot it being applied.

20
ii) How Practical Training Influenced My Views in Law

Speaking of legal requirements, one aspect that I noticed was how, after all, there

is no right or incorrect method to demonstrate law. This is what I was often

reminded by my instructors during lectures whenever I asked which answer was

accurate when I saw two or more contradicting ones. It all comes down to how

thorough the explanation and justification of law requirements in certain situations

is. I initially hesitated to embrace such a position since I was a staunch believer

that any rule must be hard and absolute, which they surely might be in some

cases. Even yet, I've realized that no matter how strong a legal premise is, it may

be contested and disregarded. This would all rely on how one uses and manifests

the law. As a result, at the end of the day, it would all come down to how

attorneys fight for their individual clients and solicit opposing litigants using legal

provisions as guide.

People often claim that a good lawyer is a skilled manipulator, which I feel is

true to some extent. Being exposed to the nature of legal practitioners' work in

the organization and viewing the end results, I was able to see how manipulation

was used in case management. Nonetheless, I thought that it was done with

good intentions and in the best interests of the persons involved in order to

maintain justice. This is because there are several alternatives for such a posture

and a person's legal opinion can simply be ignored and dissented, given the

plethora of legal provisions in this specific field of study. Going through a bunch
21
of documents in case files, having witnessed these lawyers in the company

professionally utilizing such legal provisions in counter-claiming arguments

against a large number of opposing parties had really shifted my views and

opened my eyes on how the legal system operates had really shifted my views

and opened my eyes on how the legal system operates. Manipulation is certainly

important to include while diving into the sphere of legislation, provided one is

directed by the suitable authorities assuring task execution is done correctly.

Furthermore, having observed the paperwork done by legal practitioners in

the workplace consisting of writings in rich language, as well as having witnessed

the main advocating and soliciting in courts, I have come to the conclusion that

articulateness is the most important attribute a lawyer should demonstrate in

composing oneself in the legal field of practice. This is due to the fact that

attorneys are surrounded by individuals of all degrees and perspectives to

amuse. Being a voice for the voiceless, assisting vulnerable clients and

opponents in conflicts to reach a resolution, may not be an easy task. Taking into

mind the requirements to charm and persuade the judge, as well as to respect

the honorable courts, this explains why such word usage is important.

Using the appropriate terms while communicating a message helps

immensely in providing accuracy and strength in advocating one's opinions.

Potentially incorrect readings of these phrases by beholders may harm attorneys'

reputations, putting them at risk in a variety of ways. This is because a lawyer's

obligation is to defend himself while also attaining justice by acting in the best

interests of all parties concerned. Any slightest misstep would have damaged not

only the attorneys' reputation but also people's life privileges. As a result, legal

practitioners must use extreme caution while using such phrases in fulfilling legal
22
tasks.

To summarize this remark in its entirety, what I learnt from that situation is that

a measure of how excellent a lawyer one is is defined by how well-versed he is

with legal provisions and how he scrutinizes the act in executing such legal

chores to use in his work. Furthermore, language, as a critical component in this

sector, plays a significant part in maintaining overall safety and security on the

bodies concerned, both in terms of reputation and life's well-being. Having these

characteristics ingrained in those going along the legal path may assure the

quality of the work done.

23
6.0) Conclusion

This mandatory practical training term has provided me with several benefits.

Mostly, it provided a fantastic introduction to what it's like to work in the field. Though

I was unable to implement what I had learnt in practise, I was able to observe it

being done by the company's employees. Most significantly, understanding the

nature of performance in the workplace has provided me with a broad display of right

etiquette and protocol that will be expressed in a profession.

Having a principle who values time, I was taught that timeliness is an essential

virtue to have in developing one's discipline in life. Being pushed to complete things

under duress may have also contributed to my mental fortitude, which was a

valuable bonus.

My entire experience working for the firm may not have been as easy because

I do not feel myself qualified for a position in the office, especially at this early stage.

However, I value those ups and downs since they allowed me to better understand

my own strengths and flaws. My identified strengths are yet to be developed further,

whilst my discovered shortcomings are what I hope to grow and conquer in the days

ahead.

24
Knowing myself a bit more today may assist me on my path to become a

competent adult in the future as I learn to appropriately change my life's goal and

vision throughout. This may have fueled my ambition to become an extraordinary

legal practitioner someday.

7.0) Recommendation

I have always been grateful for what my principal and colleagues showered

upon me during my practical training phase, whether it was theoretical knowledge or

its actual implementation. Such instruction is critical in developing legal pupils. I'd

think that any new things I've been exposed to at work have been rather substantial.

As a result, I feel it would be highly beneficial if such exposure were to be

expanded to include additional processes, particularly those involving court

proceedings. This may include etiquettes, suitable speaking patterns, and strategies

for dealing with potential obstacles in heated circumstances.

I must accept that this is the most intriguing component in the view of rookie

law students who may be highly interested in it. Such exposure may provide us with

a clear picture of the path we wish to pursue.

Seeing licenced legal practitioners professionally doing their legal obligations

in court would give us enormous courage and inspiration to be as wonderful

someday in the "battlefield," as a novice student myself.

Hence, I humbly suggest more exposures as stated to be given to internship

as this would significantly develop their vision in life.
