I have the distinct privilege of proposing George Varughese as a candidate for
election to the Bar Council for 2009/2010. George strikes me, as an unassuming
and modest guy. In the time that I have known George, he has come across as
someone who is steadfast in conviction yet open to discussion, a contributor and
definitely not a seat warmer and, more importantly, honest.
As the Hon. Treasurer of the Bar Council since 2007, despite the financial
constraints, he has administered the funds prudently and last year managed to
significantly reduce the deficit in the main account.
He has given his energies and time to the Bar in various other capacities as
follows:-
2007-present Chairman of the Finance Committee
2006-2008 Chairman of Sports Committee of Bar Council
2005-2006 Chairman of Industrial Court Practice Committee
2004-2005 Deputy Chairman of Young Lawyers Committee of Bar Council
2004-present Member of Bar Council
2004-2007 Chairman of Selangor Bar Committee
2002-2004 Honorary Secretary of Selangor Bar Committee
2002-2003 Member of Social Welfare Committee of Bar Council
2001-2002 Committee Member of Selangor Bar, Chairman of the Social, Welfare &
Public Relations sub-committee of Selangor Bar
He deserves, in my view, to be given the opportunity to continue with the good
work he has been doing. It is therefore without any hesitation that I recommend
him to you for election as a Bar Council member for the year 2009/2010.
