Image
  I presented a case scenario to AI and received clear legal guidance on this important issue. In legal proceedings, the integrity of pleadings is fundamental. A defence filed on behalf of defendants must reflect their instructions, their knowledge, and their consent. But what happens when a defence contains false claims — or worse, is filed entirely without the defendants’ authorization ? The Case Scenario Imagine four defendants jointly asserting that Ali stole three goats from Ramu’s goat farm. Later, it emerges that Ramu never owned a goat farm at all.

Systemic Barriers Faced by Ordinary Citizens As a Sabah B40 citizen receiving RM100 monthly SARA aid , I often ask myself: How exactly are ordinary Sabahans supposed to seek justice when the very institutions meant to protect us create one obstacle after another?

  Yesterday, a good friend sent me the photo above and said: ‘Notice the elevation?’ I responded: Yes, what is important is if this was according to the DP (Development Plan). He replied: No idea…this has been going on for ages, until they meet LM (Luqman Michel).
