Before TUAN ABANG ISKANDAR BIN ABANG HASHIM
Admission Speech of Mr YEOH KHEE HING 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, YEOH
KHEE HING and my learned friends representing the Attorney
General, The Bar Council and the Kuala Lumpur Bar
Committee have already been introduced earlier.
The petitioner was born in Kuala Lumpur and is the middle
child to Mr. Yeoh Kim Leng and Mdm. Wong Nyoke Pin.
Technically, middle children are those who are born in
between two or more siblings. Being born in between is a
bigger problem than what we think. They have the middle child
syndrome...
From my brief encounter with Your Petitioner, he does not
have any of the problems of the Middle Children...
Being born in Kuala Lumpur blessed him the abundance of
great food, the petitioner enjoys eating, he lives to eat and
hence My Lord the size of the petitioner standing tall before
your lordship today is the best testimony of Kuala Lupmur food.
Size does matter, My Lord, as a litigation lawyer in court.
When in England,
He liked atmosphere of the English Pubs but he hated the
English Soggy tasteless vegetables
If he is forced to name a favourite dish in England, it would
be fish and chips with a generous portion of salt and vinegar.
Your Petitioner read law at the University of Aberystwyth,
Wales
Subsequently, the petitioner undertook the Bar Vocational
Course at the University of West of England and was admitted
to the Bar of England and Wales in July 2010. He is also a
member of the Honourable Society of Lincolns' Inn.
Before he was admitted to Lincolns' Inn, he was already a
member of the Pub of England.
The University of Aberystwyth is in Wales, he
Loves the countryside of Wales, but he only fell in love with
the countryside, therefore forgot to find a Welsh sweetheart.
The petitioner read in the chambers and benefitted from the
tutelage and guidance of his Mistress Ms. Theresa Chong, and
his mentor, Ms. Liang Cheng Jean of M/s Skrine.
He was given the opportunity to learn and explore the field of
corporate law which he intends to continue practising in.
On this memorable day, the petitioner would like to express his
gratitude to those who have played an important role in his
career and his life.
First and foremost, he would like to thank his family, especially
his parents, for their love, support, and sacrifices they have
made for the petitioner in giving him the best opportunities they
could.
The Petitioner would also like to convey his heartfelt
appreciation to his Mistress Ms. Theresa Chong, and his
mentor, Ms. Liang Cheng Jean, for all their guidance and
tutelage. The petitioner would also like to thank the partners
and lawyers in Messrs Skrine and his fellow pupils for their
company and sweet memories for the last 9 months.
My Lord, the Petitioner is a fit and proper person to be
admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor. The
Petitioner's papers are in order and there is no objections from
the relevant parties to this Petition.
Therefore, My Lord, I humbly pray for an Order in Terms.
(Relevant parties will say no objections and
Judge will give order)
