Busyairy has been co-opted as Secretary of the Committee. On the same day, Johor YL representative Lawrence Chiong and NYLC member Soo Wee Loon were elected to the Johor Bar Committee. The next day in Kelantan, 3 young lawyers were elected, Alauddin Bin Mat Nor and both Kelantan YL representatives Nasrul Bin Mohamed and Rezalman Bin Bahran.
In Penang on 15 February 2007, Penang YL representative Devkumar al/ Kumaraendran was elected together with Rajdev Singh and Nicholas Tan Soon Teik. Stephen Tan Ban Cheng stood for State Bar Representative to the Bar Council but lost. After a short lull, the Perak Bar on 23 February 2007 elected NYLC Deputy Chairperson Kenny Lai Choe Ken, Perak YL representative Rashpal Singh, Mohamad Nizam Mohamed Salleh and 2 NYLC members Gavin Tang Cheng Loong and Dara Waheda Bte Mohd Rufin into the Committee. 3 days later in Negeri Sembilan, Karthigesan a/l Shanmugam who is the Negeri Sembilan YL representative and Amy Chong Chai Ling were elected into the Committee. On 27 February 2007 in Selangor, 2 young lawyers stood but only Ng Chung Yee who is the Selangor YL representative made it to the Committee coming in 10th. Renuka Balasubramaniam lost narrowly and was placed 11th. At the same time up north, Kedah/Perlis Bar Committee welcomed 5 young lawyers, Zul Azri Bin Abd Khalil, Premanand a/l Adaiken, Sulaiman Bin Abu Bakar, NYLC member Lim Yang Yang and Kedah/Perlis YL representative Ernie Suffiani Binti Salim. The final State Bar to hold its AGM, Terengganu today voted in Terengganu YL representative Ahmad Syukri Bin Yusoff, Mohd Zamri Md Jail and Nadia Binti Razali to complete a good showing for the young lawyers. Working with senior and more experienced members of the various State Bar committees, the junior members will be able to bring fresh winds of change, and increased effective contribution to the Bar and society at large. It is with fervent hope that all elected members will serve the Bar faithfully and diligently to continue moving us forward. Comments (4)

Richard Wee is, by statutory definition, not a young lawyer.
Still young lawyers

Andrew .. there's no more statutory definition of a young lawyer , so Richard, being young at heart, has no doubt decided he still qualifies Write comment

As expected, the repeal of
section 46A(1)(a) recently garnered greater participation and interest from
younger members of the Bar at all State levels. Without a legislative bar to the
eligibility of members to stand for positions, post-repeal saw an encouraging
number of formerly “disfranchised” members taking up Committee positions for the
first time.
