The Annual Events of the Attorney General's Chambers ("AGCs") of
Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Singapore and the
Establishment of the Attorney General's Chambers Joint Committee (AGCJC)
There have been strong ties between the Attorney General’s Chambers of Brunei
Darussalam, Malaysia and Singapore. Each of these Chambers has its own strengths
and much to share with others. There are areas where each could learn and benefit
from the others. As issues became more cross-border in nature, joint co-operation and
cross-straits understanding become more important to enable each AGC to perform its
function effectively. As a result the three countries had agreed to organize an annual
event to gather officers from the three AGCs. The event is to be known as the Annual
Events of the Attorney General’s Chambers of Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia and
Singapore (“Annual Events of the AGCJCs”)
Purpose and objective

experiences, particularly in areas of law which the participating countries have
common interest;
2. to better utilize resources to build upon synergies in training; and
3. to provide greater opportunities and platforms for interaction so as to build upon
our existing partnership links and to foster friendship and closer rapport amongst
our respective AGC families.
