Bukti Majlis Peguam Sudah Mampu Berinteraksi Dengan UMNO - Hafarizam Harun


KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Jun – Forum Siri Pemikiran Kritis yang dianjurkan oleh Majlis Peguam Malaysia baru-baru ini merupakan satu langkah yang baik bagi menyemarakkan lagi perbincangan secara ilmiah berkenaan institusi undang-undang di negara ini, kata Penasihat Undang-Undang UMNO, Datuk Hafarizam Harun. Menurut beliau, dengan wujudnya siri-siri forum seperti ini, perbincangan demi perbincangan untuk menambahbaikan sistem undang-undang di negara ini boleh dilakukan dengan idea-idea yang diluahkan oleh panel dan juga peserta forum berkenaan.

Assess The Integrity

1ST UNITEN PREMIER LECTURE
3rd. February 2012
INTEGRITY: YOU KNOW IT BUT DO YOU HAVE IT?

Tun Abdul Hamid Bin Haji Mohamad

As I am not an academician, I have decided to speak about what I have seen, heard and experienced throughout my life, vis-a-vis integrity. So, if you were to ask me how long I took to prepare this lecture, my answer is “Sixty nine years and ten months!”

I hope you will bear with me for a while, while I narrate the story of this man whom I am taking as an example.

At the close of the nineteenth century, a baby was born in Permatang Tinggi Bakar Bata, Kepala Batas, Province Wellesley. He grew up in the village, attended a pondok school in Kedah, then in Kelantan and later spent a few years in Makkah where he attended classes at Masjid al-Haram.
