Every year the various sub-committees of the Johore Bar organize a large number of activities for the benefit of our members. The success of these activities of course depends on the support and participation of our members. If we have pulled through all these years it is because we have a bunch of loyal supporters or “old faithfuls” who continue to support our endeavours year after year. But that surely is not enough. Being the 3rd largest state Bar in the country with a membership of 2167 we can do much better with greater support from our members. This is your Bar. Please come forward and contribute a little of your time and energy to turn it into a vibrant and dynamic Bar.
This year we have a fair blend of experience and youth in the Committee. I urge our members, especially the younger ones, to join the various sub-committees and share your ideas to make it a successful and exciting year for all of us.
