Two important events on March 18

March 18, 2006 is an important date for Bar Council and DAP.

Bar Council will hold the annual AGM at Legend Hotel. The quorum is 2400 members of the Bar (1/5 of the total members). The President of the Bar Council, Mr Yeo Yang Poh, has issued a press statement with the title "Let us rise to the challenge" urging the practising lawyers to attend the AGM.

On the other part of the town, DAP will celebrate the 40 years anniversary at Federal Hotel.
There is going to be an amendment to the DAP constitution. For the first time in the history, DAP convention will discuss on the issue of recognising Bahasa Malaysia as the sole national and official language.

To the younger generation, this is fait accompli. For the old-timers who speak limited bahasa pasar, it is hard for them to swallow.

For the DAP lawyers, both events are equally important. I would imagine they will have to rush from one hotel to another. Sometime, one has to wear different hats at different time.
