Source: IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5882416/) Before watching this movie, I never knew about Kartini and how inspiring she was. Fair enough, Kartini is an important figure in Indonesian history, and I'm not an Indonesian. After watching the movie (I know I'm late, the movie was released in 2017 and it's 2021 now, but who cares?), I'm so inspired and touched by Kartini that I decided to write this to encourage more people to watch it. However, please note that my writing is purely based on the movie and my knowledge of Kartini's history is extremely limited. Another important thing is, spoiler alert! So, here are a few things I could gather from the movie: 1.

Introduction Pursuant to S376(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code (" CPC "), a Public Prosecutor (“ PP ”) in Malaysia is the same person as the Attorney General (“ AG ”).

Thus, until today, high-profile cases were discontinued without any sound justification or challenges. However, in the evolution of law, commendable decisions have begun to surface, which serves as a warning that in a nation with a rule of law, absolute power is not to be e...

LOST . It’s the state of your life where you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing, or why you’re doing what you’re doing. As for me, I think it is when you lose passion over something you once so passionate about. It’s when you have to find reasons to continue what you had started. Being in my final year of studies should make me more certain of my future. But it doesn’t. Another one semester left before I finally bid goodbye to the comfort of the law faculty where I had spent about 3 years at. I feel at lost because I’m still figuring out my direction after all of these ended. If there is one thing that I envy others for, it would be the certainties they have towards their future. I hope to have the same certainties too. I keep feeling lost in my journey. Perhaps it’s because of the realization that maybe I’m not that good at what I was so sure about. Coming into law school was my own decision. I was blessed that my parent never controlled my life and just let me fly free....
