ABOUT US
At one point
in time, a vast majority of our law graduates received their legal education in
England. The University of Malaya Law
Faculty was established in the year 1972 in line with the prevailing national
interest to produce locally educated legal minds who are more familiar with
Malaysia, its laws, customs and traditions.
Since its establishment, and in line with the objective, the Faculty has
successfully produced outstanding graduates who have held and continue to hold
various key national and international positions of influence.
The word
“alumni” or “alumnus”, in its singular form, is connected to the term “alma
mater”. One’s alma mater is the
institution which one formally attended.
Upon graduating, said person becomes an “alumnus” of that
institution. The Constitution of PARFUM,
however, also indirectly recognises former lecturers and teaching staff as
constituting “alumni”.
PARFUM is a
society established under the Societies Act 1966 with the primary purposes of
being the bridge between the Law Faculty and the Alumni. PARFUM aims to maintain the strong camaraderie
between alumni as well as between the alumni and the Faculty.
To this end,
PARFUM’s programs and events are targeted at keeping the student population of
the Faculty apprised of the Alumni’s significant strides in all aspects of the
legal career (and beyond) while at the same time keeping the Alumni closely
bound together so that we remain committed to upholding the prestige and
gravitas of the University and the Faculty.
PARFUM also strives to record and disseminate the achievements of Faculty
students and of Alumni to the masses.
The role of PARFUM also encompasses working hand in hand with the
Faculty to ensure continuous legal education, respect for the Federal
Constitution and of the Rule of Law.
