, the outgoing British High Commissioner to Malaysia, has expressed his desire to see Malaysia's legal sector open up to foreign legal firms and lawyers.
"I like to see Malaysian legal sector opening up not only for British lawyers, but for other countries like New Zealand, Australia and the United States to come and operate as well,” he told Bernama during a farewell luncheon hosted in honour of him by the Chairman of The Royal Commonwealth Society of Malaysia, Kesavan Muniandy here, recently.
He pointed out that London currently hosts approximately 200 foreign legal practices, including some from Malaysia, and expressed hope that the Malaysian government would reciprocate by allowing foreign firms and lawyers to operate in the country. "This development opens the door for a trade deal between the two countries for the first time, following two years of negotiations,” said Hay.
