WHAT LAW FIRMS WHO WORKED WITH TRAINEES SAY​

Little is known of the six trainees.
On the internet, they have not left much digital footprint.
However, TODAY understands that Mr Sreeraam worked at the LVM Law Chambers, Mr Chow at Dentons Rodyk & Davidson, Mr Shah at Harry Elias Partnership and Ms Devaraj at K&L Gates Straits Law LLC.

i think a 5 year ban is in order.

not for a whole lifetime but long enough for them to reflect

people go to jail for similar crimes. at their age they still cannot differentiate right and wrong. who do they think they are? ceca?

The question begets, why did they have time to scrub it off?

Was the decision conveyed to them first before the media and public?

if they do paralegal, also kind of over-qualified.

given how AGC maintain the objection stance (flag their first application + file the objection for the redacted order) & the kind of 1/2-baked answer from LawSoc over the matter, very few law firms would take the 6.

in the first place, why protect these cheaters?

not as if they are muddle headed juveniles, second chance of not, society will decide, just like any other who run foul of the law.
