Name: KENNETH WONG KUOK WENG
Date: September 23, 2011
Admission Speech of Mr Kenneth Wong Kuok Weng as
Advocate and Solicitor, High Court of Malaya.
If it pleases you My Lord,
Alex Chang, appear for Your Humble Petitioner Kenneth
Wong, and my learned friends representing the relevant
bodies have been introduced earlier.
My Lord
Your Petitioner, Kenneth Wong Kuok Weng is the eldest boy of
Mr and Mrs Wong Siew Wah. He graduated from the Cardiff
University, Wales. Great country scene, the best place to
study. Kenneth told me that in Wales, people do not talk
about animal rights.... there are 10 million sheep and 3 million
people.
My Lord
The petitioner loves futsal and football, therefore Your
Petitioner and I have one thing in common. Beckham, we both
like the Beckhams. He likes David, I like Victoria.
My Lord, one more detail about Cardiff this tall handsome
young man made it to the cover of the Cardiff University
International Students Propectus....
I found it rather strange when confessed to me that he Plays
only the guitar and no other instruments.
My Lord
After Wales,
Your Petitioner then proceeded to take the Bar Vocational
Course and was called to the English Bar at the Honourable
Society of Lincoln's Inn. Upon returning from the United
Kingdom, Your Petitioner commenced and completed his
pupillage in the prestigious chambers of my learned and old
friend Wong Kian Kheong Esq
My Lord
Your Petitioner would like to express his heartfelt gratitude to
his parents and family for their continuous support, for without
which, he would never have reached this milestone in his
life. He would like to also thank in particular, his mother Ms
Tan Lee Koon and his uncle my learned and old friend
Kingston Tan Esq, who are both advocates and solicitors for
inspiring him at the early age to read law.
Your Petitioner told me that he will start his legal career in the
firm of M/s Hailey Hassan and Tan, having known and worked
with Kingston Tan Esq, my old friend, I am sure he will soon
become a fine litigator.
There is one other reason why Your Petitioner wanted to do
law. He used to be told off by almost all his teachers from
primary school right up to college for being talkative. So he
thought, since I am guilty as hell for being talkative, why not
talk and be paid at the same time?
ML his wishes came true today.
Your Petitioner would also like to thank his Pupil Master,
Wong Kian Kheong Esq for his guidance and patience
throughout the 9 months of pupillage. He is grateful to his
Pupil Master for giving him so much court exposure and the
rare golden opportunity to watch and assist one of the finest
litigators in action. Wong Esq shown him, to be a good
advocate and solicitor, one must have the utmost dedication
and love for the law.
Finally, Your Petitioner would like to thank his former
colleagues, Dock Brief mates and friends for making the 9
month, however arduous, a truly enjoyable experience and
would also like to express his gratitude to them for being able
to avail themselves this morning to witness this meaningful
occasion.
My Lord
(i) Your Petitioner is a fit and proper person to be
admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High
Court of Malaya.
(ii) all papers are in order
(iii) no objections from the three bodies
to pray that Your Petitioner be admitted and enrolled as an
Advocate and Solicitor
ORDER
My Lord, I crave leave for Your Petitioner's mother, Ms Tan
Lee Koon, an advocate and solicitor of the HC Malaya, to robe
him.
