The Bar Council not only sucks, it's unprofessional, partial, bias and working for the oppositions.
This is what happen when you put half-past-six lawyers as leaders who lack professional ethic.
The Bar Council should have been an independent body and distant itself from politics. In almost everything it does, it seems to be giving undivided support to the opposition Pakatan Rakyat.
Bar Council Chairman Lim Chee Wee is a disgrace calling for an EGM in seeking a public apology from the Home Minister and IGP for alleged use of excessive force against Bersih protesters even before receiving full report of the investigation by Suhakam, Bar observers and an independent panel appointed by the Home Ministry.

It is obvious, the Bar Council has, unashamedly, become an extension and mouthpiece of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat.They are fully aware that Anwar Ibrahim and the whole Pakatan outfit is using street politics for political expediency, yet as a professional body that should stand impartial they gave support to the abominable act of the opposition and ignore any of its wrongdoings.
Their proclivity in demonising the government in every respect clearly shows they have taken side in politics.This is not a cynical observation but a well documented factuality.
How else could he explain calling for an EGM blaming the police of brutality when many videos evidenced provocation was first started by protesters by breaking down barriers where court order has been obtained making Dataran Merdeka a "no man's land" that day.
Videos taken on that day showed the crowd attacking a police car, pelleting it with stones, shoes and whatever objects available to them which eventually sent the car out of control and the mob overturning the police car.
The Bar Council chose to ignore all these awful acts of the law breakers, instead, chose to support them, threatening the police with legal actions.
Not all its members share the Bar Council Chairman's sentiment as evidenced by the video below.
Has the Bar Council also been hijacked by politicians and being used as their campaign machinery?
Maybe, it's high time the Register of Societies (not sure under which jurisdiction they are registered) write a show cause letter to the Bar Council why they should not be de-registered?

Legal Profession Act. They are not under ROS.
I agree. They are just like the police, suck and bias big time.
Yeah, they're not under ROS, but they agree to be part of the development of Democratic country with the Govn, so professionalism must be uphold to ensure the progress, not the emotional and biasing to any political party. Thumbs up Mr. Ranjit Dhillon. you've shown your etiquette as a professional lawyer.
Thank you.
Totally agree with you Bro, I am absolutely peeved that the 62 odd Bar observers could have missed the unlawful presence of children in the Bersih crowd on 28 April 2012, these children have been unnecessarily exposed to danger by their irresponsible parents. These Bar Council political activists including the kepala the president should just resign and join the opposition.
Not sure what Eddy means by "unlawful presence of children in the Bersih crowd".
Does he mean that it is illegal for children to be present at what was supposed to be a peaceful demo ?
The Malaysian Constitution allows for freedom of assembly, the last time I checked.
If the demo had no incident (which it did until the barricades came down), would it still be considered unlawful ? Should we be supportive of a police state where everything must have Big Brother's permission and you'd better be on Big Brother's side or else ?
The police presence is necessary, of course - for ensuring order and help the people.
Having said that, bring the culprits who brought the barricades down to court. Perhaps we might find out that those people are actually Special Branch undercover agents. Then, of course, they will never be brought to court. And I'm not talking about those who subsequently masuk but the ones who actually took down the barriers.
Purple Haze,
Bringing children to make the numbers is a very irresponsible act.Should something bad happen, the children would be caught in the crossfire.I agree with eddy it is unlawful for children to be in a protest or demonstration.
I agree that it may be irresponsible, especially if they are young children.
Having said that, where do you draw the line ? How about those children in Palestine who throw stones and carry guns ? Should the Palestinian authority outlaw them from "protesting"?
Hantu Laut,
Wow, "crossfire".. you mean the police would not hesitate to shoot at the children too?
He show pro-establishmnent bias towards the end of his speech. Look to me a guy living in BN comfort zone.
