Salim Bashir Bhaskaran will lead the Malaysian Bar for the 2020/2021 term assisted by vice-president Surindar Singh Chain Singh, secretary AG Kalidas Krishnan and treasurer Mohamad Ezri Abdul Wahab.
The new office bearers were chosen on Saturday by the Bar Council’s 38 members after they convened their first meeting of the term.
These members had been elected during the Bar’s elections over the past few months.
Earlier, the Bar’s AGM saw a record low turnout of 87 members as of 12:15pm. This is amidst rising concerns over the spread of Covid-19 in Malaysia.
