The Malaysian Bar — which is the peninsular legal body — said that the proposed amendment it drafted to the Legal Profession Act 1976 merely reproduced, without changes, provisions in the current law that allowed it to be extended to Sabah and Sarawak. “It is emphasised that this reproduction is in no way intended to encroach on any rights that have been conferred on Sabah and Sarawak in governing their legal professions,” Malaysian Bar president Abdul Fareed Abdul Gafoor said in a statement.
“We would not take any action, nor would we condone any action that would result in a curtailment or erosion of such independence, having ourselves fiercely defended the independence of our Bar in recent years,” he added.
