Are you concerned about the society you live in? Do you want to make money writing an article about your views and concerns?

If the answer to both questions is yes, then check out eLawyer Malaysia. This fast-growing law portal has organized a writing contest around a couple of topics concerning the society in Malaysia. The topics are:-

• Towards an independent judiciary in Malaysia
• Common Bar Exams: The creation of a new problem or a solution for an old one?
• Welcome CheDet.com: the impact of Tun Mahathir’s blog
• Anti-party Hopping Law- Agree or Disagree?

All you need to do is write an article of less than 1,000 words on your choice of topic and stand a chance to win RM500! There are runner-up and consolation prizes as well. Easy enough, right? Oh, I know the money is not a huge sum, but it certainly will help you finance a netbook or that Asus EEE PC for instance.

Pss… insider tips says there are not too many takers at the moment, so any participation should stand a great chance of begging the RM500 top prize home! Hoho…
