Newly-minted de facto law minister Azalina Othman Said met with Bar Council today on the controversial amendments to the Legal Profession Act (LPA) that the government has proposed.

However, both parties did not arrive at any agreement on the matter and plan to meet again in September.

At a press conference after their 80-minute discussion, Azalina again brushed off the allegation by lawyers that the government intended to amend the LPA in order to control the Bar Council.
