In the end of 2021, I had an unforgettable internship in JLPW law firm. When I first heard that I wasable to intern at JLPW, I was extremely looking forward to the internship, I was excited but also verynervous. I was excited because Malaysian law is a new challenge for me, Malaysian law include thecommon law system as well as Sharia law, its characteristics of multicultural and different religion
are the things that I had never been exposed to. I was also very nervous because, due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, I could not come to Malaysia, I was only able to participate in an onlineinternship. I'm not very clear about whether I can communicate effectively with lawyers online, andwhether I can learn a lot of useful knowledge and experience like an offline internship. Besides, Iknow JLPW is one of the top law firms in Malaysia and I don’t know if I am capable of completing
my internship.
Before internship, I also thought about the purpose of my internship. One of the purposes was to gain
an understanding of the legal environment in other jurisdictions abroad. In addition, I would like tohave a deeper understanding of the profession of lawyer to determine whether I am suitable tobecome a lawyer after graduation. The third purpose was to make new friends in the newenvironment.
During my internship, on the first day Gloria introduced her team to me. And then give me a task todraft privacy policy for their client. Their client provided medical tourism services for visitors. She
also gave me a lot of other documents as references, including the personal data protection act, the1personal data protection regulation, and 2 privacy policy samples which is also relevant to medical
and tourism. Gloria gave a very detailed explanation of my task and also ask me to pay attention to
the provisions of sensitive personal data.
After I received the task, I first study on the laws and regulations for personal data protection inMalaysia. Although the law is very long and complex, I pay most of my attention on the parts related
to drafting privacy policy, and if I encounter difficulties in understanding them, I will first searchrelevant information on the Internet with the Chinese personal information protection law that I am
familiar with to understand it. Besides, I will analyze the scope of the business of the company
covered by the 2 privacy policy samples which Gloria gave me and analyze whether there is adifference between them and our client. Finally, I drafted the new policy mainly according to thesample policy, which focused on the sensitive personal information section.
Looking back on my internship at JLPW now, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge. Firstof all, I have made new friends in Malaysia, everyone is very kind and they are willing to help me
and answer my question. Besides, this internship allowed me to apply what I had learned in mybooks to practice. I start to have a general understanding of the Malaysian legal system, and learned
how to quickly find the laws of different countries. I will also compare and think about thedifferences between different legal systems. Finally, I have a better understanding of how lawyers
work in Malaysia, what kind of work lawyers will do. I aimed to become a professional andinternational lawyer in the future and this experience strengthened my determination to become alawyer after graduation. At the same time, I also realized that there is a gap between reality and ideals,
and the complex tasks and excellent lawyers I met in this internship have made me aware that mycurrent experience and ability cannot support me to become a good lawyer. I have to study harderand gain more experience to achieve my dreams.
At last, I want to express my gratitude to everyone helped me during my internship, thanks JLPW
law firm for giving me this chance, also thanks Professor Saito and Ms. Kumiko for theircommunication with the law firm and all the arrangements of my internship.
