All lawyers should vote - 2008/11/18 23:28
Hi, my name is Sasha Lyna Abdul Latif. I'm a member of the Malaysian Bar.
I would like to raise this important issue for your consideration.
As most of you are aware, November is when members of the Bar are given an opportunity to elect 12 members onto the Bar Council. Any time soon you will receive a ballot paper where you can vote for the 12 persons that you feel most qualified to lead the Malaysian Bar.
Every year, the Bar Council secretariat will issue more than 12,000 ballot papers but it is disappointing to note that only about 3,000 or so ballots are filled and sent back to the Secretariat.
Are we part of the 9,000 or so members who don't bother to vote? Are we the ones responsible for the trees that have to be cut down just so that these ballot papers end up in the waste bin?
I urge ALL of you, fellow members of the Bar not to put the ballot papers to waste! I urge you, to cast your vote; I urge you to tick those who you believe can get the job done; I urge you to urge others to vote!!
Send your ballot paper back to the Bar Council Secretariat by 30 November!
Get others to VOTE too!! Please end this email to all lawyers that you know!
The list of attendance of Council Members at Meetings from 15 March 2008 to 11 October 2008 is as stated in the booklet that has been sent to ALL lawyers and it also consists of a write up on ALL the candidates.
Another thing that we can do is to EMAIL this urgent appeal to other lawyers throughout the country so that more lawyers will vote this year.
Lastly:-
Vote wisely; Vote for those who will contribute to the Bar; and Vote for Change!
Thank you
Sasha Lyna
