2 members of the Malacca Bar participated in the inaugural Program Paralegal organised by the Reproductive Health Association of Melaka (formerly known as Family Planning Association Malacca) on 06/4/2010.
The morning session included a talk on the Civil and Syariah jurisdiction with specific focus on the legal issues concerning the transgender community; while in the afternoon there was a panel discussion and issues such as a person’s rights upon arrest, during detention, and upon being charged in Court were discussed.
A selection of pamphlets on various legal issues were distributed to all attendees.
The event was reported in Kosmo and Sinar Harian.
