Chambering - Long Call

Happy New Year to all readers! Selamat Tahun Baru! Pu-tan-de-var-te-ke! 新年快乐！

Finally get to post something about Long Call, will share about what to do, when to prepare, and what to expect. Please find below in sequence...

Three weeks before your expected date of the end of pupillage...

Admission Fees - Payable to Disciplinary Board for the sum of RM200.00, Official Receipt will be issued upon payment, please retain the receipt for filling purpose. Note, payment can be done by way of cash or cheque, as for the name to be issued, please click here to enquire further.

Instrument - Payable to Bar Council for the sum of RM30.00. Bar Council will provide you a certificate-looking with your full name inserted in it for you to cross check. If you're name is confirmed correct, they'll get you to sign at the back of the instrument, then return for their safe-keeping till your date of the call.

Robe - Book your robe 3 to 4 weeks in advance. I've enquire the Kakak in Vince @ Wisma Straits Trading, there'll be loads of booking and upon my visit, she was changing the name tags as they're wrongly attached. She said that if booking were made earlier then it should not be a problem to collect before your call. Alternatively, I rented a robe from the Bar Room (5th Floor) in KL High Court for RM5.00, which booking has to be made in advance to check the availability, bib as well.

Confidential Report - To be sent by Bar Committee to Bar Council, then serve to Court. Consistently check with all these three bodies to confirm it's duly served.

Invite Mover - Get someone with not less than 7 years of standing to move your call. Must not be anyone from your firm. But so far as I concerned, they don't look like they know...

Long Call Speech - Prepare it in advance for your mover to have an idea on what to speak that day.

Certificate of Completion for Legal Aid - Obtain the same from your relevant legal aid.

Two weeks before your expected date of the end of pupillage...

Sijil Penampalan - Proceed to Bahagian RKKK and inform the officer you want to file your Sijil Penampalan, she will hand over all the documents for you to fill up the dates accordingly. Then you'll have to proceed with E-filling and extract the same.

Borang 7 - Prepare two (2) referees, you can get lawyers in your firm to help you with this. Be sure the referees you're referring to are at least degree holders.

Borang 8 - Master is supposed to sign this upon the last day of pupillage, well I got mine to sign way before that and definitely making sure that he knew, I'm a 'sangat rajin' pupil :) Was actually suggesting him to prepare a fresh Borang 8 changing the heading!

Borang 6 - Please prepare - Birth certificate, Identity Card, LLB certificate, CLP certificate (or any other exemption certificate), Ethics Exam certificate, B.M. Exemption certificate, extraction of Sijil Penampalan, two (2) Borang 7, Borang 8, copies of Sijil Perakuan Ekshibit. Note: If your pupillage commenced on 16.12.2011, then the date for the end of pupillage should set as 16.09.2012 (disregard whether it's a weekend or not).

Notis Perbicaraan - Find specimen in Bahagian RKKK.

Sijil Pengesahan Dokumen - Find specimen in Bahagian RKKK.

File Borang 6 altogether with your exhibits.
File Notis Perbicaraan.
File Sijil Pengesahan Dokumen, hand over your original documents to Bahagian RKKK for confirmation/validation purpose.

Expect extraction for both Sijil Pengesahan Dokumen and Notis Perbicaraan.
Expect date and time provided on your extraction on Notis Perbicaraan. Or obtain verbal confirmation from Bahagian RKKK.

That should be it. Let me know if there's anything that I've missed out. Would appreciate that :)

Happy Long Call Peeps! Congratulations in advance to you!

Chambering - Short Call

Dear All,

 I know I'm very late, and I'm so sorry for that!

 As I've mentioned about the reminder to set your seats in ethic class, introduction session and also legal aid session, hopefully you guys have done it because there's a few friends of mine have missed some of those session and prolonged their long call date - very unwise! So again, please keep in mind these three sessions, prioritize these first!

 Now for short call, to obtain an order to appear before SAR and judge in an open court and in chambers. Please make sure the draft order is ready prior your short call date! Sample of draft order is available in Bahagian RKKK in Aras 2. Or, you can always google it! I believe it's now in the Bar Council's Pupillage Handbook (I've received a latest version of the handbook so please check it out yourself, no more spoon-feeding :)

 Most importantly, the no-objection letter from Bar Council and Bar Committee. As for pupils in KL, both of the bodies will serve on your behalf to the court, for the rest of the states, please double check with your bar to make sure it's ready to be served!

 As attendance is no longer required, you can always choose to do e-filing in the office, provided that you have one. Otherwise, stick back to the manual filing in high court. By now, you should know how e-filing works in the court, so all the best to you guys! MIND THAT, it's always advisable for you to drop by Bahagian RKKK for a bit to let the Kakak check your order!

 Again, please make sure it's filed, served and also filed your Afidavit Penyampaian after all the services to all three bodies.

 No big deal, it's just the service of order. Just keep an eye on the abovesaid THREE SESSIONS!

 Other than that, enjoy your 14 days legal aid duty! Next post on Long Call Checklist! 

 Stay Tuned and Good Luck ;)

Chambering - Borang 3, 4 & 5

It was easier now, as I've encountered shits earlier. I went on Tuesday instead, please don't ever go for Monday or Friday although your senior advised you to do so, a lawyer saw us complaining and said, "Lawyer has no sincere words." It's like a huge slap on our faces but true enough.

So for Borang 3, 4 & 5, I gave it a brave try, I serve only to KL Bar Council (instead of to all 3 bodies), BUT mind that I brought along my Affidavit Penyampaian! Note that I've made some edition by deleting the (b) and (c) which in fact I didn't serve to AG or KLBC/SBC. Same old same old:-


  1. Borang 3, 4 & 5. Don't fill up in case you're not sure. Bring EXTRA copies. Print Service Bureau Form. (Note: No other extra document(s) needed!)
  2. Prepare 2 copies for Borang 4, get your master to sign both, leaving one copy BLANK in case there's mistake (No Liquid Paper!) Explain to him/her why.
  3. Head over to Kompleks Mahkamah Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Duta.
  4. Get Number for e-filling purpose at Counter 23. He'll check through and request you to check first from Bahagian RKKK, just let him know you'll do so after obtaining one Express Counter Number, nicely :)
  5. Go to Aras 2 - RKKK, let Kakak goes through all your Borang. Double check with her whether Affidavit Penyampaian for Borang 1 & 2 necessary or not. For my case, they didn't want mine.
  6. After your Borang is checked and dated, proceed to Counter to 23 for scanning, along with your completed Service Bureau Form. Total of 3 pages to be scanned!
  7. Proceed to Counter 17 to obtain Payment Notice.
  8. Proceed to Kaunter Pembayaran to make payment of RM36.00.
  9. Head back to Counter 17 to obtain Official Stamp Invoice.
  10. Extraction Code will be provided on the Invoice itself, but it is advised that you wait around 1 - 2 working days to proceed to next step.
  11. I got my short call date on the spot as the Kakak in RKKK checked for me, you may try requesting for one at your own risk :)
  12. Get back to office and wait for e-mail from efs@kehakiman.com.my to confirm your Short Call Date and Extraction Code. Print it out and that's your Official Borang 3.
  13. Proceed to make 3 copies and Serve all Borang 1 - 5 to all the 3 bodies (KL Bar Council, AG Chamber & KLBC/SBC)
  14. Done!

I've done only until this stage, firm is running busy, so am I. Will be serving mine next week, personal service should be good enough, at least I experience it once :) 

Something Extra:-

  • Free Transportation from Masjid Jamek LRT Station to and fro High Court with a 10-seater White Van (Not sure 'bout their schedule though).
  • Service Bureau Form: Click Here, click "Getting Started", click "For more details click here", look for the form and download.
  • Get a map! Landmark (if coming from Bangsar) - Menara UOA - Go left - Syariah Court - Bare left - Sign Board indicating Location of High Court
  • Sample of Borang: Encik Termizi's helpful BLOG!
  • Full Attire - Formal
  • Borang 1 & 2, kindly visit HERE!
Best of Luck!

Chambering - Borang 1 & 2

Approaching year end, the firm I attached to is so damn busy with their works and obviously, I was slightly being ignored ;( And thus far, I wasn't guided with proper guideline and examples on how to file in Borang 1 & 2. Therefore, again, I'm here to share my experience I've been through, from 8am to 5pm.

1.   Get all Borang 1-8 either from KL Bar Council (cost you RM5), or someone in your firm a copy (free). Ask for Service Bureau Form from your firm or seek help to look for one from e-filling. Always keep EXTRA copies in case you fill up the form wrongly, I strongly advise you to do so!

2.   Prepare Documents, all certified:
3.   Head over to Kompleks Mahkamah Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Duta.

4.   Get NUMBER first at the e-filling counter for E-FILING purpose.

5.   Go to Aras 2 Bahagian RKKK - Let Kakak goes through your forms and documents (Total SEVEN pages) for you. (In case you didn't affirm the Affidavit Borang 1 from Commissioner for Oath, kindly do it at Aras 1 with payment of RM4 first, then proceed to Kaunter Pesuruhjaya Sumpah. It is strongly advice you do it beforehand as you might get it done for free.)

6.  Proceed to Counter 23 for Express Scanning. Fill up the Service Bureau Form. Queue up for e-filling. This is to scan all the checked through documents. 

7.   Proceed to Counter 17 to collect Payment Notice after scanning is done.

8.   Proceed to Kaunter Pembayaran to pay RM98 for your petition (RM80: Petition \ RM8: Affidavit \ RM10: Borang 2). Please make sure you have the Receipt with you.

9.  Get back to Counter 17 to collect Stamped Official Invoice by submitting the Stamped Payment Notice.

10. Petition Number will be shown on the Invoice itself (e.g 18-1660-12/2011), fill up for both Borang 1 & 2.

11. Go back to Bahagian RKKK to get your petition dated.

12. Proceed to Aras B1 bookstore, Photocopy Kakak is an expert in preparing Chambering's document (4 copies of the 7-page document, 32 copies of Borang 2, 16 sets which consist 2 copies each).

13. Proceed to Bahagian RKKK to submit ONLY the 16 sets of Borang 2.

14. Done!

I've done only these 2 forms, will keep on updating the rest, I hope you find this helpful. Special thanks to Dominic for all the helpful information all these while, and of course the prompt reply when I'm in need! Thank you also Mr Yeoh, thank you for letting me kacau you while you're so busy for your chambering, more to come, paiseh ;) 

To have a sample on how to fill up the forms, kindly proceed to Bahagian RKKK’s notice board. Or, refer to Encik Termizi’s helpful Blog!

Kindly correct me if there's any mistaken statement above. Cheers!
