Women make up 51% of practicing lawyers in Malaysia, but the profession is still largely seen as a boys club. Disparity in the number of females in partner positions persist, and there is still a lack of presence in the executive committees of Bar Councils across the country. But this year, in a surprise landslide victory, Goh Siu Lin was elected as the chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee, making her the first woman to ever hold the position. There's lots to do, and Siu Lin has one year to make some big changes. We catch up to find out what her plans are to create a more equal and inclusive Bar.
