Bar Council - No Holds Barred Debate

Contentious issues are among the 12 motions to be debated at the 69th Annual General Meeting of the Malaysian Bar, to be held tomorrow. The motions include a debate on the Sedition Act with one side for the act, and another condemning its use. The possibility of setting up an alternative Bar Council is also in the cards, with the current Bar Council President Christopher Leong telling proponents to get ready for the most brutal fight. We speak to lawyers and an academic to get a sense of what to expect.Sharyl Kaur and Mahesh Krishnan contributed to this report.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
