Law Awareness Week is practice event held annually by Inti-UC Law Society which the objective is to develop an knowledge on the law field for the student in public by holding a 3 days of exhibition and talk. It recall me back during the 1st sem I entered Inti, where opportunity was given for the new student to take part in this small yet acquainted event. basically the theme still hasn't changed much from the previous year, which mainly concern on human right. but there is a slight improvement from my observation which is that more NGO had willing to fork out their time to provide support on the event, some of the NGO is Sisters in Islam, SUARAM , SUHAKAM, Amnesty International, Police and Prison. Weapon and picture are displayed, and the police officer very eager to provide additional information and demonstrated on how it would be like in the real life for those in custody. And I was being clarify about the myth that the cane used for caning(rotan) was soaked in horse's pee, while the truth is that they soaked the tips only into bleach or water to ensure sanitary condition oh the whip/cane as well to dealt the maximize pain to the subject's buttock. An informal yet terrific talk was delivered by Edmund Bon Tai Soon (Chairperson of Bar Council's Constitutional Law Committee) which he was well-known after being the defendant lawyer of Anwar sodomizing case. During his talk, he stressed more on the law of public interest, and claimed that this legal field was much demanding recently along with the establishment of NGO Human Right body. He also indicated that many had left the legal aids service just because the price offered was not appealing and neglected on public's need on lawyer. So to wrap things up, Law Awareness Week had seem to did their best be to accomplish its objective, by embedding great virtue and additional knowledge to new generation of legal profession.
