PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Bar has relaunched a mobile app that will contain information on a lawyer's membership status to help address the problem of people pretending to be advocates and solicitors.
Its president Salim Bashir said the newly revamped mobile app includes a digital membership card (DMC) for Members of the Bar.
With the DMC, Salim said a member can prove his or her membership status instantly.
"Only Members with a valid Practising Certificate will be able to access the mobile app, and thus the DMC. The DMC has a vCard QR Code that acts as a digital business card.
