Bar Council mandated to initiate suits related to emergency, says new president

The Malaysian Bar has mandated the Bar Council to take any and all steps that it deems necessary regarding the proclamation of emergency and the emergency ordinances, according to a resolution passed today by its members at their 75th AGM.

The Malaysian Bar's newly-elected president AG Kalidas (above, left) later told reporters the steps could include instituting related legal proceedings on behalf of the body.
