In a circular yesterday to its members, the Malaysian Bar said it would provide further updates once more information is available. “The reason advanced by YB Dato’ Takiyuddin seems to suggest that based on his conversation with YB Dato’ Seri Azmin, the MITI media statement lacks specifics and a clear definition of “legal services”,” the circular signed off by Malaysian Bar secretary AG Kalidas read. MITI is the acronym of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
“The Bar Council will monitor the situation and inform Members once there is more clarity in relation to this matter,” the circular added.
