The Johore Bar now has a membership of 1871 thus making us the third largest State Bar in the country. We also take pride in being a very active and dynamic Bar. Every year we organize a large number of activities for the benefit of our members. The success of these activities depends largely on the support and participation of our members. Although we have a core group of members who have over the years been strongly supporting all our activities, for which I sincerely thank them here, we can certainly do better with greater support and participation of our members, especially the younger members.
This year we have a fair blend of youth and experience in the Committee. I urge members of the Johore Bar to join one or more of the sub-committees and contribute your part to make it a successful, exciting and enjoyable year for all of us. Come and share your ideas and suggestions for a better and more vibrant Bar. Together we can work to raise the Johore Bar to a higher level. A Bar that we can be proud of!
