The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Malacca Bar Committee was held on 24 February 2010 (Friday) at Malacca Straits Hotel at 4:00pm.
The Chairman Mr. Ng Kong Peng called the meeting to order at 4:10pm when the quorum was reached.
Our incumbent Chairman started off with the relevant items on the agenda. The audited accounts, minutes of the AGM year 2009 and the annual reports of the various committees were adopted without much hassle.
Nominations were called for from the floor for the election of the Malacca Bar Committee Chairperson and as anticipated, the first and only nomination received was for Ng Kong Peng. There being no other nominations, Ng was returned unopposed as the Chairman of the Malacca Bar for the fifth term.
Eight names were proposed, and as there was no contest for the election of committee members, the eight names proposed were elected by the members. The members elected are Fiona Tan, Karen Cheah, Fatima bte Tahir, Jason Kay, Nizam Bashir, Valerie Choo, Mahaiyuddin and Desmond Ho. Jaspal Singh was nominated once again as the Malacca Bar Representative to the Bar Council.
