Personal summary
I was an intern under the Chief Justice of Malaysia, the Right Honorable Tun Tengku Maimun binti Tuan Mat. I drafted legal opinions on the cases she presided in and also drafted her Open Legal Year Speech 2023. I conducted research on various areas of law as part of the Research Unit of the Federal Court. I also had the privilege to work with Gopal Sri Ram, a former Federal Court judge and senior lawyer. During my days with Sri Ram, I was able to be involved in high profile cases such as the 1MDB graft case and a suit to challenge the dissolution of parliament. I am currently a legal associate where my primary focus is on civil and criminal litigation, that includes remand proceedings, criminal proceedings, debt recovery, insolvency and winding up, enforcement proceedings and employment disputes. Furthermore, I was involved in a suit to challenge the unlawful dismissal of a local employee by a sovereign state at the Federal Court, the highest court in Malaysia.
