Dialogue with Bar Council Malaysia

Date: 8 Oct 09
Venue: The Association of Banks in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan

In its largest meeting of legal minds ever, The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) played host to members of Bar Council Malaysia and in-house legal counsels of ABM’s member banks on Thursday, 8 October 2009. Apart from facilitating a face to face discussion of issues of common interest, a key objective of the dialogue was to pave the way for a candid and open exchange of views on matters specifically identified.

The delegation from Bar Council Malaysia was led by Mr Tony Woon, Treasurer of Malaysian Bar and Mr Andrew Wong who chairs the Committee on Conveyancing Practice. Representatives from both sides spoke eloquently and passionately on the points raised. Be that as it may, the active discourse did not culminate in any heated arguments although the difference in opinion from the external legal advisers’ perspective versus the internal was clear in several instances. At the close of the dialogue, a better understanding was forged and each party was better aware of the matters requiring follow up and further thought.

Given the success, both sides agreed that there will be more regular dialogues between Bar Council Malaysia, ABM and its member banks going forward.
