The Kuala Lumpur Bar Blog

Dear members, Since my last entry, KL Bar Committee has rapidly moved to initiate new activities for the members.  After perusing 3 quotations, we have chosen one and engaged the Designer to re-design our aging and outdated KL Bar Website. We hope to complete this as soon as possible, but from the discussions with the Designer, the whole process will likely take 3 months to complete. We will keep you updated on the same. The Young Lawyers Committee will be hosting their annual Charity Nite . The largest social event of the YLC, Charity Nite has come a long way since it's first edition in 2005. This year will be the 5th Anniversary of the Charity Nite. YLC will be making more announcements on this soon, though I am permitted to say that the tentative date for the Charity Nite is 4th July 2009.  Our Civil Court Liaison Committee have been working extra hard to bring the comments and messages of the members to the Judiciary, particularly about the current tracking system in KL High Co...

Dear Members KLBC sat for our 2nd meeting on 9th April 2009. We welcomed the 2 co-opted members, being Nurul and Janet Chai. Their presence will definitely be a boost to KLBC.

Back to this Blog, we have agreed to add contents ranging...

Hello to all readers, particularly KL Bar members.  This is a new column for the Honorary Secretary to say a few words to our members, particularly to update members on the activities of KL Bar. I will also update members about our Accounts, and every now and then report about our Secretariat too. The Blog is almost a year old. It was an experiment last term, and whilst it has taken off, but I have to be honest, we expected the Blog to be better than what it is now. This term, since I am also the Chairperson of the Information Technology Committee, efforts will be made to improve this Blog. It is hoped that the Blog will eventually generate some advertising income which will go a long way to retain the current RM100 per year, membership subscription fee imposed on all KL Bar members.  The Chairperson of all Sub-Committees have been finalised, including the 2 new co-opt Committee Members, Puan Nurul Muhaniza and Ms Janet Chai.  The Sub-Committees and it's Chairpersons are:- 1.
