KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee started the ball rolling for young lawyers of the Malaysian Bar to serve in the Bar Council or any of the state bar committees.
It launched a campaign to sign a petition for a repeal of Section 46A of the Legal Profession Act (LPA) 1976, which disqualifies lawyers with less than seven years’ standing from serving on any of the Bar’s governing bodies. Even lawyers who are Members of Parliament or who hold office in any trade union or political party are disqualified from serving on the council and its committees.
