I have it from our President, Christopher Leong, that it was in the year 2011 that the Bar Council instituted the conferment of an award from time to time, to be called The Malaysian Bar Lifetime Achievement Award, in recognition by the Malaysian Bar of past or present members, for outstanding contributions to the Malaysian Bar “inter alia in terms of leadership, service to the Bar and/or to the Nation, and/or in their practice at the Bar, which contributions had a significant, historical and lasting impact on the legal profession and on the community at large”.
The recipient of the inaugural Award was the late Raja Aziz Addruse; it was conferred on him posthumously in March 2012. For 2013, there was one recipient, Dato’ Dr Sir Peter Mooney.
