The Bar Council president also says that measures set by the International Trade and Industry Ministry were too stringent.
The Malaysian Bar has called on the government to provide leeway to law firms to operate during the movement control order period.
"Allowing law firms leeway to operate would only be meaningful if other agencies are also allowed to begin operations.
