Name: KOH SUAN SUAN
Petition No.: 18-432-11
Date: April 20, 2012
Admission Speech of Miss Koh Suan Suan as an Advocate
and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya
BEFORE TUAN ABANG ISKANDAR BIN ABANG HASHIM
(RKKK 1)
If it pleases you My Lord Alex Chang Huey Wah, appear for
your humble petitioner Koh Suan Suan.
The relevant bodies have already been introduced.
My Lord, allow me a few minutes to introduce your
Petitioner, Koh Suan Suan to all concerned.
Your Petitioner is from a small town called Sitiawan, Perak
and she has two brothers and she is the only daughter of
her proud parents Mr. Koh Liong Hock and Madam Ding
Geok Lian.
It was never your Petitioner’s dream to become a lawyer
and the reason she decided to study law is also not a
noble one. It is just simply her humble wish in getting
involved in something she called “grandeur”, something
that she imagined her parents will say “wow”. It was only
during the second year of pursuing law degree in INTI
International College that she started to develop a keen
interest in law. It was the subject called Equity and Trust
taught by Ms. Sharlini where the Petitioner learnt that law
can be very tricky and exciting. My Lord, for rest of the day
after I met her, I must admit that I wondered why Equity and
Trust, I thought it should have been Mrs May Donoghue
and the half decomposed snail that excited her...
She was quick to admit that she was never a clever
student, but MLF Kwong Esq. her master wd strenuously
disagree. She told me to earn a LLB Honours from the
University of Hull she had sleepless nights, tears, trials
and tribulations.
Building on the LLB, she pursued an LLM in International
Laws in the same University in 2008.
Apart from laws, My Lord I has to coax her to tell us her
hobby.
Your Petitioners has a very special hobby. After she got
tired of collecting stamps, she went on a watches
appreciation spree. She likes “See through” watches in
particular the complicated movements of the tourbillon, the
cogs and wheels inside the watches.
Prior to reading in the chambers of Mr Kwong, had the
privilege to be attached to Siew & Partners under the
guidance of Ms. Yvonne Siew and M/s SB Teh & Ho
under the guidance of Ms. Teh Seng Bian She told me that
she learnt a lot from them that no textbook can teach.
Thereafter your Petitioner began her pupillage in Messrs
Azman Davidson & Co under the tutelage of her Master
and my very good friend Mr. Paul Kum Wah Kwong.
My Lord,
On this special day, your Petitioner wishes to express her
gratitude and appreciation to her beloved parents, Mr. Koh
Liong Hock and Madam Ding Geok Lian who are present
today and her brothers, Koh Young Seng and Koh Yong
Cheng for their love, affection and encouragement given
unconditionally at all times.
The Petitioner would also like to thank the lawyers, lawyers-
to-be and staff of Messrs Azman Davidson & Co particularly
Mr. Paul Kum Wah Kwong, for their invaluable guidance and
support during her pupilage, which paved the way for the
Petitioner to begin her career in law.
The Petitioner would also like to thank all the lecturers that
taught her. Not to forget her friends that suffered together
with her the late nights, well, My Lord, she assured me that
not all late nights were spent at the library, as I understand
now My Lord the word "Library" has taken a branch new
meaning in KL. She wants me to mention these Library
mates Lim Ching Ching, Karen Oh Siew Boon, Leong Yit
Chia, Hee E Yin and Ching Man San.
I note here My Lord that all her library mates are young
ladies.
Last but not least, the Petitioner wishes to thank her
boyfriend, colleagues and friends who are here today in this
Court.
I verily believe that Your Petitioner’s papers are in order,
she is a Fit and proper person to be admitted and
enrolled, and the relevant bodies have no objections.
Wherefore I humbly pray that Petitioner be admitted and
enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of
Malaya.
I am obliged.
I seek leave from this Honourable Court to invite me learned
friend, Paul Kwong Esq, Your Petitioner’s pupil master to
robe Your Petitioner.
We are obliged.
