    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support because, as I had said before, when I was practising the majority of my clients were extremely poor people. When they were taken to court for criminal matters, they subsequently did not follow up because they did not have means. Therefore, when we provide that the court can give some token of compensation, then for those who are able to go to civil courts, they would be given proper compensation. For me, it is really just a token of compensation at the end of the day by the court. Therefore, as lawyers, we create too many technicalities. I do not want to cast aspersions on lawyers, but we create too many technicalities that deny access to justice to most needy people. Therefore, I support."
