PETALING JAYA: The Bar Council will hold an emergency general meeting (EGM) to discuss the issue over recent allegations of judicial intimidation. Bar Council president Karen Cheah said the full details of the EGM will be finalised after the Hari Raya festive period. Cheah also said she is aware of the petition calling for the "Walk of Justice" by former Malaysian Bar presidents. Cheah said the Bar Council held another emergency meeting on April 29 to address allegations of judicial intimidation and it was collectively decided that an EGM will be called on an urgent basis according to the Legal Profession Act 1976. Earlier Wednesday (May 4), a petition by six former Malaysian Bar presidents - Datuk Mah Weng Kwai, Steven Thiru, Datuk Lim Chee Wee, Datuk Yeo Yang Poh, Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and Datuk Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari - had urged the Bar Council to hold the "Walk of Justice".
