Name: TAN ENG KEAT
Petition No.: 18-1369-10
Date: December 2, 2011
Admission Speech of Mr TAN ENG KEAT as an Advocate and
Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya
If it pleases you, My Lord
I, ALEX CHANG HUEY WAH, appear for the Petitioner, TAN
ENG KEAT and my learned friends representing the Attorney
General, The Bar Council and the Kuala Lumpur Bar
Committee have already been introduced earlier.
My Lord
The Petitioner, Tan Eng Keat, the second son of Mr. & Mrs
Tan Chun King
The Petitioner early education in La Salle Klang. Thereafter,
the Petitioner read law in the Multimedia University, Melacca.
Upon completing his degree, the Petitioner commenced his
pupilage in the chambers of Mr. Kumar Kanagasingam of
Messrs. Lee Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill
My Lord,
I asked what was the ambition of the Petitioner when he was
little?
To be a good soldier, because soldiers are the ones who run
into a building on fire when everybody else is running in the
opposite direction.
Therefore unlike many young people, He was therefore
slightly disappointed not to be selected to be in National
Service Training.
Actually he wanted to the Bruce Willies of Malaysia to star in
Die Hard 5.
On this very special occasion, the Petitioner seeks the leave of
this Honourable Court to express his gratitude and
appreciation to the following people who had truly made a
difference to the Petitioner's life:-
To the most important people in his life, his father, Mr. Tan
Chun King, and mother Madam Tee Swee Keok whose
unconditional love, care and trust had shaped the Petitioner
into the person he is today.
'I am very blessed and proud to be your son.'
he says. YP seeks leave to say a few words in Mandarin,
'Xie Xie Ni', to his parents who are here today.
To his brother and sister, Mr. Tan Eng Seen, and Miss Tan
Rong Miin, the Petitioner would like to thank them for always
being there to guide him and sharing their life experiences with
him. Their guidance played a role in helping the Petitioner
make better and wiser decisions.
To his pupil master, Mr. Kumar Kanagasingam, whose flair
and skills as a litigator never fail to inspire the Petitioner, to
Miss Gaithri, who has been a mentor and a friend.
The most exciting part of the 9 months was that he had an
opportunity to assist, Mr. Kumar Kanagasingam and Miss
Gaithri in a 28 days section 181 (Companies Act) trial where
a new precedent was set.
Usually, in a s 181 petition, it is the majority that will buy out
the minority, now the minority can also buy out the majority.
To his current immediate superior, Mr. Mong Chung Seng for
having faith and trust in him to accept him into his team at M/s
Lee Hishammuddin.
To all the partners, senior associates, associates, the
wonderful and ever cheerful pupils, especially Mr. Mak Hon
Pan, Miss Josephine Chin, Miss Bella Chu, of Messrs Lee
Hishammuddin Allen & Gledhill, the Petitioner would like to
thank them for their contributions and constant assistance
rendered during the Petitione's 'learning curve' as a pupil for
the entire 9 months.
To Miss Wong Jing En, who has always come around when
the Petitioner needed the most support and encouragement.
To all his high school buddies, and his university friends, the
Petitioner would like to record his gratitude for their love,
encouragement and friendship.
Lastly, the Petitioner appreciates his well wishers who are
present this morning to share and witness this very special and
joyful occasion.
My Lord, I verily believe that all cause papers are in order and
that the Petitioner is a fit and proper person, to be admitted
and enrolled as an advocate & solicitor of this Honourable
Court. I also believe that the Attorney General, the Bar
Council and the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee on behalf of the
Selangor Bar Committee has no objections.
Therefore, My Lord, I humbly pray for an Order in Terms.
(Relevant parties will say no objections and
Judge will give order)
Much obliged, My Lord
My Lord, Mr Kumar, tenders his apologies for not being able
to be present to robe your Petitioner
with Your Lordship's leave, may I seek leave to robe Your
Petitioner.
Much obliged, My Lord
