Damn clown behaving like a hawker. Suka suka hit people one?!

It's not a breach of professional ethics against the client. A suspension of the license should be sufficient. The lawyer arguing for the Law Society is a practicing lawyer himself, why need to whack his fellow lawyer until so jialat ? He already kanna charged criminal offence liao, and let him serve whatever punishments that he deserves for committing a criminal offence that has nothing to do with his capacity as a lawyer. If the punishment meted out by the Court requires him to be disbarred, then bo bian lor. If not, why jump the gun and want to get rid of a fellow lawyer so quickly ? It's not as if he robbed a bank and raped someone. I don't think the medical fraternity will do something like this to their fellow medical professionals.

A lawyer must be held to a higher code of ethics than the common sweeper or hawker. He’s a disgrace to all lawyers. And it’s no wonder that more young lawyers are leaving the profession. And in case u think all lawyers earn big bucks, that’s not the case.

The key thing is whether he had conducted himself in a manner that is unbefitting of a lawyer.

Unbefitting of a lawyer for sure. Unbefitting of an employer too. A suspension is warranted. Striking-off is draconian.

I thought this sort of behavior is typical of a lawyer.
