Welcome to our page
Starting my practice in 1991, I have had over 30 years of legal experience representing a wide variety of clients, not limited to multinationals, public listed companies, private businesses, financial institutions and individuals. I am a Director in several public listed multinational companies, ranging from Banking, Engineering, and Retail. In 2016 I was appointed as a Director of a Government Agency which functions as the National Policy Research Agency on Maritime Affairs. MIMA was set up by the Malaysian Government to look into matters relating to Malaysia’s interest at sea, and to serve as a national focal point for research in the maritime sector. I was appointed as Secretary General of the National Chamber of Commerce And Industry of Malaysia (NCCIM), where we work with the government to tackle national challenges and create reform within the business sector. I currently serve as the Deputy President of The Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Kuala Lumpur & Selangor (KLSCCI) and Deputy Secretary-General of The Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM), where we engage and work with the government representing the business community.
