One of the compulsory courses I had the pleasure of attending while in the judiciary was the etiquette course held at Intan. We had a couple of trainers who taught us basically everything about dining etiquette, formal wear dos and dont's, how to converse with dignitaries etc.
One of my colleagues from the AG chambers really took the course seriously cos he believed that one day, he would actually be dining with the Queen.
But it was a really interesting couple of days learning how to eat soup the proper way, and knowing which fork to use for every course. And oh, if we're offered alcohol at these functions, just say "no, thank you" politely; no need to be apologetic about it.
But no, my ex-colleague never quite had the chance to dine with the Queen of England, as far as I know 😅
