The motion will be debated at the Malaysian Bar AGM on Saturday.
The lawyer, better known as Amir Bahari, said he wants the incoming Bar Council to refer Siti Kasim to the disciplinary board for professional misconduct should the motion be approved by a majority of members.
In his motion filed last Friday, he also wants the Bar Council to take other steps against Siti Kasim for bringing the legal profession into disrepute.
Siti Kasim will feature as member in the incoming Bar Council. She was one of 12 lawyers who were directly elected.
In his motion, Amir Bahari, who specialises in shariah law, said lawyers were members of the noble legal profession and expected to behave well at all times.
“Siti Kasim has behaved in a repugnant and obnoxious manner which has brought the legal profession into disrepute,” he said in the motion.
Siti Kasim posted on Facebook a video of a speech made by a lawyer at the KL Bar AGM and unilaterally maintains that she received consent from the maker of the speech to broadcast the video.
Amir Bahari said Siti knew the posting would go viral and would have the intended and designed adverse impact on other fellow lawyers.
He said such unprecedented action in the history of the Malaysian Bar must be strongly condemned by lawyers.
Amir Bahari said Siti Kasim’s action was also in breach of Section 76 (2) of the Legal Profession Act for making public proceedings of the KL Bar AGM.
“She has also breached the Legal Profession (Publicity Rules) 2001 for publicising herself in a manner regarded as bad taste, sensational, intrusive, offensive or in any other way not befitting the dignity of the legal profession,” he said.
Amir Bahari was one of three candidates who contested for the KL Bar chairman’s post two weeks ago. Goh Siu Lin won the election, becoming the first woman lawyer to head the organisation.
In 2015, senior lawyer Tommy Thomas and V C George filed a motion against lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to discuss his conduct for going on a road show after appearing as government lawyer in Anwar Ibrahim’s “Sodomy Two” case.
Shafee, however, obtained an injunction to stop the motion from being discussed.
He later filed a defamation suit against Tommy and George but the case was dismissed.
Shafee has appealed to the Court of Appeal.
