UPDATE ON PTG NOTIS

Re : “Notis Pemberitahu” dated 10-5-2012 from PTG Further to our circular of 11-5-2012, we are pleased to inform that the PTG has accepted our suggestion to permit presentation of subsidiary instruments (eg : Charge) accompanied by **certified true copy of the Sijil Setem in respect of the principal instrument (eg : Facility Agreement) and the “Hasil Carian Pengesahan Ketulenan No. Adjudikasi”. **Note : The certified true copy must be by an Advocate & Solicitor together with rubber stamp bearing his/her full name. The “Hasil Carian” may be dwnloaded from the e-Taksiran website wherein one just fills in the No. Ajudikasi and No. Sijil Setem and then click “Carian”.

Notis Pemberitahu” of 10-5-2012 from PTG

To Perak Bar Members, Re : “Notis Pemberitahu” of 10-5-2012 from PTG Requirement (i) – original Sijil Setem Upon being made aware of the above Notis (attached herewith), the Conveyancing Sub-committee has met the LHDN and Puan Rosziana (Timbalan Pendaftar PTG) yesterday and this morning urgently to explain to the PTG that their requirement (i) in the said Notice is impossible of compliance. We had offered them a couple of alternatives as to how PTG could ascertain that ad valorem stamp duty had indeed been paid on the principal instrument – to which Puan Rosziana is receptive but requires further discussion at their internal meeting. In the meantime, the following has been agreed between us and PTG :- i. PTG will NOT reject subsidiary instruments (eg : Charge) presented from 14-5-2012 without the principal instrument’s original Sijil Setem, but will instead suspend those instruments, pending their decision on whether to accept the alternatives suggested by us ; In case any member has instruments rejected for this reason (as well as members who have had instruments rejected today), you are to bring it to the attention of Puan Rosziana, who will direct the PTG staff to accept the documents which will however be suspended as aforesaid. Puan Rosziana has agreed that PTG will discuss this matter urgently within the next week and will revert within next week. Pending their decision, Members may wish to withhold presentation of affected instruments (except in cases of urgency in which case the instruments will be suspended as aforesaid). Requirement (ii) PTG had clarified that this does NOT mean FAs may not be stamped ad valorem, but merely that the Charge/subsidiary instrument (in cases of manual franking) must be endorsed. Therefore this 2nd requirement is a non-issue.

YBGK TRAINING FOR MEMBERS OF PERAK BAR ON 17.03.12

Yayasan Bantuan Guaman Kebangsaan (YBGK) has been set up by the Government to pay the services of lawyers to represent those needing legal representation in criminal proceedings from the moment a person is arrested. Road shows were held in Teluk Intan, Taiping and Ipoh to recruit more volunteers. The pioneer batch of 28 Perak Bar members, out of the 50 lawyers signed up to do YBGK work, attended a one day’s training at Hillcity Hotel on 16.04.2011. The second batch of 22 lawyers attended another training session last Saturday 17.03.12 at the Perak Bar Conference Room. The objective of the training was to equip lawyers with the necessary information and skills to assist and represent those in need of legal representation.

The training was jointly organized by Bar Council and Perak Bar Legal Aid Centre. The training was conducted by Mr. Ravin Singh, Hon. Secretary of Kuala Lumpur Bar and Ms Harleen Kaur, Chairperson of Kuala Lumpur Legal Aid Centre.

In his welcome speech, Mr. Gokoolaram Naidu welcomed all the participants and gave an overview of YBGK. He later went on to introduce the trainers. This was followed by the opening address by Chairman for Perak Bar Mr. Edwin Seibel who thanked all lawyers who had signed up as YBGK lawyers and went on to explain the need of implementing the scheme in Perak since it was launched by the Prime Minister on 25.2.11. He also stressed on the need of getting more member’s cooperation in future too.

The training began with YBGK Administration and Procedures and followed with Training on Criminal Law (Arrest, Remad, Bail & Mitigation). Our members kept the trainers busy with questions being asked throughout the training session. The training was a success and the date of implementing the scheme simultaneously nationwide is tentatively scheduled for 02.04.12.

LAUNCH OF MOBILE LEGAL AID CLINIC IN SUNGEI SIPUT

Some 5,000 villagers in the remote areas along Sungei Perak, Orang Asli villages, estates and other rural areas in Sungei Siput will now have easy access to legal aid when Perak Legal Aid Centre begins its Mobile Clinic services in March 2012. The LAC Clinic, a collaboration between various NGOs and ketua kampungs, provides basic legal advise and law awareness services to areas with no or limited access to these facilities.
The clinic was launched on 18.02.12 in Taman Heawood at a simple ceremony attended by over 40 members of NGO’s, ketua kampungs, media personnels, pupils and lawyers. The mobile team will provide the following services:
• legal advise & promote law awareness;
• conduct seminars & forums;
• handle cases in courts;
• conduct booths;
The idea of setting this mobile clinic came about following requests from several NGOs and village heads serving the hard-core poor communities in the rural areas and surounding estates in Sungei Siput. The clinic will operate at different locations set and arranged by the local village heads and NGOs. The Mobile clinic will be manned by volunteers and pupils and shall initially operate on a monthly basis, subject to public demand.
