i read with amusement toh han li's article in today's straits times. the article imputes the plain english movement - a movement which has attempted to make the courts more accessible to the layman by simplifying the language used by the courts - to one cj chan.
cj chan, apparently, is a firm believer that we should all aspire to use plain and simple english. he fervently advocates this ideology with concise tidbits like "... laws drafted in archaic tautologous and convoluted language... are a legacy of the past."
