Name: FOO HIAP CHOONG (No 9 in the list)
Date : 8th October 2010
Admission Speech of Mr Foo Hiap Choong as Advocate and
Solicitor, High Court of Malaya.
If it pleases you My Lady,
I, Shaikh Harun, appear for the Petitioner, and my learned friends
representing the relevant bodies that have been introduced earlier.
Your Petitioner was born in Kuala Lumpur on a remarkable date of
16th September 1983 and (now known as Malaysian Day) is a third
child to the Late Mr Foo Kuo Liang and Madam Lee Soo Chan.
Petitioner’s late father was a retired medical salesman and his
mother is a home maker.
My Lady,
Your Petitioner read laws at University of London, vide their External
Programme. Thereafter, your Petitioner in obtained his Certificate in
Legal Practice and underwent his pupilage at Messrs Alex Chang &
Co under the tutelage of my learned friend Mr Chang.
My Lady,
Allow me a minute or two to let all concerned know some secrets of
your petitioner. His first ambition was to be an ambulance driver,
because your petitioner wants to devote his life to the public. But
however, he was enlighten by his brother, Mr William Foo, who also
a fellow member and is present today, told him that becoming a
lawyer can save more lives. Hence, your petitioner embarked the
journey of laws. Mr Chang assures me, he taught your petitioner
how to wind up companies but wont chase AMBULANCES.
My Lady,
Your Petitioner completed his pupilage under the tutelage of my
learned friend Mr Alex Chang Huey Wah Esq from Messrs. Alex
Chang & Co who is the Author of the Book Companies Winding Up
Handbook, an expert regarded by some in companies winding up
petitions.
As a pupil of Alex Chang Esq, he had a great time learning and
exploring corporate law, assisted in the research for matters from
Magistrates’ Court right up to the Federal Court.
He was also tutored and later took charge to argue contested
applications in the High Court as well.
Your petitioner always remembers two phrases learnt from Mr
Chang which is “Building your Personality is more important than
learning the law” and “Self-Realisation- find out what are your
weaknesses and build on them”. I was told by your petitioner that
these phrases will propel him further in life.
It is therefore not surprising that he sums up the period reading in
the chambers of Alex Chang Esq as interesting, very challenging.
My Lady,
On this memorable and remarkable day for Mr Foo Hiap Choong,
Your Petitioner, he seizes this opportunity to record his appreciation
to his parents, late father Mr Foo Kuo Liang and Madam Lee Soo
Chan the endless tender love and care, financial support and of
course, all her delicious cooking. Also, a special thanks to his
brother Mr William Foo who always guide and support him
whenever he needs help, his sister Miss Wendy Foo, his good
relative – “Koo Ma” - Madam Chua, his lecturer Mr Joseph Low, his
best friend Mr Tony Chong who takes time to teach him the “life”
lessons- “how to apply law in your life”, “critical thinking” and of
course all his friends present here.
Looking back at the nine months, Your Petitioner expresses his
gratitude to Miss Jo Tan, and all his colleagues in Messrs Alex
Chang & Co, for making his time reading in chambers a meaningful
and unforgettable one.
Finally: “Thank you again to his Master, Alex Chang Esq, the best
master in this world. Alex say this statement is only the opinion of
Your Petitioner, it cannot be wrong as Mr Foo knew only one master
ma ….
My Lady,
I believe that Your Petitioner’s papers are in order and the relevant
bodies have no objections.
Wherefore I humbly pray that Petitioner be admitted and enrolled as
an Advocate and Solicitor of High Court of Malaya. I am obliged.
I seek leave from this Honourable Court to invite me learned friend,
Alex Chang Esq, Your Petitioner’s pupil master to robe Your
Petitioner.
We are obliged.
