KUALA LUMPUR: The Young Lawyers Movement (YLM) is urging the Bar Council to draw up a ruling for firms to pay the minimum wage to chambering students.

Members of YLM gathered at the sidelines of the Bar Council's extraordinary general meeting at Wisma MCA, here, on Friday , to stand in solidarity with underpaid chambering students.

"Some pupils in chambers have mouths to feed and some are not paid enough to cover even food expenditure let alone rent, car maintenance or others. "Back then when one pupil voiced out, there would be 10 senior lawyers cornering the pupil," he said. Also standing in solidarity was Khairul Shahrizan of small legal firm Shahrizan & Co, who suggested a remuneration of at least RM3,000 for pupils in chamber at law firms.
