Your Petitioner is the youngest child in the family.
Your Petitioner told me that it was the best gift since sliced bread that in 1795 the British traded with the Dutch, the city of Batavia (now known of course as Jakarta) in Indonesia for Malacca, otherwise she would be speaking Dutch now…
My Lord,
Your Petitioner confessed that it was never her life-long dream to be a lawyer. Jet setting making international money was more appealing to the young petitioner.

She told me that when she was studying at the Notre Dame Convent in Malacca she was very inspired by Ja Lo…
I asked was it Joe Lo?
She said, no Sir, it is Jennifer Lopez…
In 2012, Your Petitioner attained her Higher School Certificate from the famous Malacca High School was admitted by the University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) to study International Business.
