Dear Fellow Members of the Perak Bar & Pupils in chambers,
 
 
Further to my circular on 5^th January 2024, kindly take note of the following:-
 
1. CHANGE OF VENUE FOR THE 38^TH AGM OF THE PERAK BAR
 
As a contest for the post of Chairman for the year 2024/2025 is evident, therefore, the venue for the AGM has to be changed to YMCA Hall to cater for the expected higher turnout of members. Please take note that the AGM will be held at YMCA Hall on Friday, 16^th February 2024 at 3.00 pm. Notice of the AGM is attached herewith for your reference.
 
 
2. MOTIONS TO BE TABLED AT THE 38^th AGM
 
Kindly be informed that the following motions will be put for discussion and adoption (if approved by the house) by the Perak Bar Committee :
 

a.To revert the annual subscription payable to the Perak Bar for the year 2024 and the years thereafter to RM 150.00 unless otherwise resolved by the members at the AGM.  The annual subscription had been reduced to RM 100.00 for the years 2020 to 2023 to ease the financial burden to members as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

b. Proposal for new premises to be purchased by the Malaysian Bar for the use of the Perak Bar to cater for the increasing needs of the secretariat and to attend to the demands of growing numbers of members. The present premises which has been in use since 2020, is lacking in space and sufficient amenities and this causes constraints and difficulties for the Perak Bar Committee to cater efficiently to the needs of the members in general. The proposed purchase will also look towards minimising cost of hiring halls / venues to hold state meetings/ conferences/ talks/ seminars and will take account of long term benefits for members. You can forward your views and suggestions on this proposal and or any premise which you think is a viable consideration via email (perakbar@gmail.com) on / by 9^th February 2024.

c. Whether Perak Bar is to subscribe to LEXIS NEXIS for online legal materials/ journals/ books and whether the cost of same is to be borne wholly or partially by the funds in the Perak Bar and if the cost is to be borne wholly or partially by the members then the same is to be paid annually by the members simultaneously with payment of the state bar subscription commencing 2024 or when deemed appropriate by the Perak Bar Committee.

 
Members are encouraged to attend the AGM on 16^th February 2024 at 3.00pm to robustly discuss the above and all other matters which affect the Perak Bar in particular and the legal profession, in general.
