We’re the Generation Z. We live in a tech-spurred, internet-saturated, media-savvy, never-more-sophisticated world. We have automation, and AI, and a Marvel’s-world kind of future to look up to. We’ve got to be ready. We’ll work in demanding, low-paying, labour-choked transactional law firms in 2020. We’ll be many and insignificant and dreaming the lives of our […]

Sixty-one years down the line, we have five coup d’états, a ‘poor’ nation (by the world’s standards), bad leaders and a largely illiterate and unpatriotic citizenry. The world mocks our freedom.
