Kuala Lumpur: The Malaysian Bar is shocked over the murder of lawyer G. Balasundram in Ipoh last Tuesday.
Its Vice-President, Lim Chee Wee, said the Bar was concerned that the assault on the victim and another which occurred four years ago might be linked to his profession.
In a statement issued here Thursday, he said Balasundram, 57, had made notable contributions through his involvement in numerous public interest litigation matters.
"His death is a loss to the bar and society," he added.
A prominent civil lawyer, Balasundram was returning home from work at 5pm when he was slashed repeatedly by two masked men armed with knives, outside his house in Taman Desa Rishah, Buntong, Ipoh.
The victim was warded at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital where he died about four hours later.
