We refer to our Circular No. 23/2023. As informed, the Johore Bar will be hosting the annual Malaysia/Singapore Bench and Bar Games 2023 from 31 Aug to 2 Sept 2023. The Games will be conducted after a gap of 4 years and this is also the first time that Johore Bar will be hosting the Games. The Chief Justice of Malaysia, Y.A.A Tun Tengku Maimun binti Tuan Mat will lead the Malaysian contingent as the Head of Delegation whereas The Honourable Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon will lead the Singaporean contingent.
