Chairman Message 1

WARMEST GREETING AND ASSALAMUALAIKUM.

LET ME BEGIN BY EXTENDING MY WARMEST WELCOME TO THE RECENTLY ELECTED SUB-COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF THE PERAK BAR. I ALSO WANT TO RECOGNISE AND THANK THE PAST CHAIRMAN AND THE SUB-COMMITTEE MEMBERS (SOME OF WHOM ARE EXTENDING THEIR INVALUABLE SERVICES WITH THE SUB-COMMITTEE) WHOM HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY TO SERVE THE PERAK BAR.

I REALISE THAT NO INSTITUTION COULD FUNCTION WITHOUT ITS SUPPORTING PILLARS. THE INSTITUTION COULD HAVE THE MOST ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD BUT WITHOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN BEHIND THEM, HOW USEFUL ARE THEY?

THE SAME IS ALSO TRUE WITH THE PERAK BAR. I AM INFORMED THAT THE NON-PARTICIPATION FROM MEMBERS IS VERY GLARING WHEN THE EVER READY AND WILLING MEMBERS HAVE AGAIN AND AGAIN SLOGGED IT OUT THESE PAST YEARS. I SAY THAT IT IS TIME FOR US “TO PULL UP OUR SOCKS” TOGETHER AND THAT IT IS TIME FOR US TO EMBRACE, SUPPORT, CONTRIBUTE AND BE INVOLVED WITH THE PERAK BAR ACTIVITIES AND NEEDS.

I AM MINDED WITH THE WORDS OF LAO TZU ABOUT LEADERSHIP, “GO TO THE PEOPLE. LEARN FROM THEM, LIVE WITH THEM, START WITH WHAT THEY KNOW, BUILD WITH WHAT THEY HAVE……”.

IT IS WITH THIS CONVICTION AND ASSERTION THIS SUB-COMMITTEE SHALL ENDEAVOUR TO REACH OUT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PERAK BAR, TO HEAR YOU, TO UNDERSTAND YOU AND TO SERVE YOU BETTER. AND TOWARDS THIS END, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT, ALL FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE PERAK BAR.

THANK YOU AND WASSALAM.

HAJI MAD DIAH BIN ENDUT

CHAIRMAN OF THE PERAK BAR 2010/2011
