Introduction

Deryl Lim Yan Hong, he was born and raised in Penang Island since 1996. He is person who is obsessed with sports, especially football. He is also a health-conscious person, which is why he loves cooking too. The phrase ‘You Are What You Eat’ means that it is important to eat good food in order to be healthy and in shape, he chose to learn how to cook so he can always provide the healthiest food for his body.

School Experiences

He studied in Uplands International School of Penang during his teenage years; it was a well-balanced lifestyle which included good education, sports activities/ tournaments and providing social services to the disadvantaged. He then travelled to Nottingham, United Kingdom (Nottingham Trent University) for 3 years to pursue his Law Degree and spent 1 more year to complete the Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) in Manchester, United Kingdom (Manchester Metropolitan University). P.S. He told us: “Those were the days I mastered my cooking skills to a certain standard by being my own personal chef…”

Why Law?

It all happened because of an incident from his teenage years that he could still clearly remember until today. Just a slight difference for the words used in a single clause from an agreement, it may change various legal obligations each party owes to the other. That incident made him realized that no matter what business you are involved in today, without hesitation or a doubt it will be detrimental to your business if you do not have “Solid Business Agreements and Contracts”.
Growing up in a business-minded family, he knew that he will start his own business one day. Therefore, to obtain the skills to protect a business, choosing to pursue Law was one of wisest choice for him.

He is now a pupil reading in the Chambers of Mr Alex Chang.
