Admission Speech of Mr Kenneth Wong Kuok Weng as Advocate and Solicitor, High Court of\u00a0 Malaya.<\/p>\n

If it pleases you My Lord,<\/p>\n

Alex Chang, appear for Your Humble\u00a0 Petitioner Kenneth Wong, and my learned friends representing the relevant\u00a0 bodies\u00a0 have\u00a0 been\u00a0 introduced earlier.<\/p>\n

My Lord
\nYour Petitioner, Kenneth Wong Kuok Weng is the eldest boy of\u00a0 Mr and Mrs Wong Siew Wah.\u00a0\u00a0 He graduated from the Cardiff\u00a0\u00a0 University, Wales.\u00a0\u00a0 Great country scene, the\u00a0 best place to study.\u00a0 Kenneth told me\u00a0 that in Wales,\u00a0\u00a0 people do\u00a0 not talk about animal\u00a0 rights…. there are 10 million sheep and 3 million people.<\/p>\n

My Lord
\nThe\u00a0 petitioner\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 loves\u00a0 futsal and football, therefore\u00a0 Your Petitioner and I have one thing in common.\u00a0\u00a0 Beckham, we both like the Beckhams.\u00a0\u00a0 He likes David, I like Victoria.<\/p>\n

My Lord, one more detail about Cardiff\u00a0 this tall\u00a0 handsome\u00a0 young man\u00a0 made it to the cover of the Cardiff\u00a0 University International Students Propectus….\u00a0 I found it rather\u00a0 strange when confessed to me that he Plays only\u00a0 the guitar and no other instruments.<\/p>\n

My Lord
\nAfter Wales,
\nYour Petitioner\u00a0 then proceeded to take\u00a0 the Bar Vocational\u00a0 Course and was called to the English Bar at\u00a0 the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn.\u00a0 Upon returning from the United Kingdom, Your Petitioner commenced and completed his pupillage in the prestigious chambers of my learned and old\u00a0\u00a0 friend\u00a0 Wong\u00a0 Kian\u00a0 Kheong Esq<\/p>\n

My Lord
\nYour Petitioner would like to express his\u00a0 heartfelt gratitude to his parents and family for their continuous support, for\u00a0 without which, he would\u00a0\u00a0 never have\u00a0 reached this milestone in his life.\u00a0 He would like to also thank in particular, his mother Ms Tan Lee Koon\u00a0 and his uncle my learned and old friend\u00a0\u00a0 Kingston Tan Esq, who are both advocates\u00a0 and solicitors for\u00a0 inspiring him at the early age\u00a0 to read law.<\/p>\n

Your Petitioner\u00a0 told me that he will start his legal career in the\u00a0 firm of\u00a0 M\/s Hailey\u00a0 Hassan and Tan,\u00a0 having known and\u00a0 worked with\u00a0 Kingston Tan Esq, my old friend,\u00a0 I am sure he will soon become a fine litigator.<\/p>\n

There is one other reason why Your Petitioner wanted to do law.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He\u00a0 used to be told off\u00a0 by almost all his teachers\u00a0 from primary school right up to\u00a0\u00a0 college\u00a0 for being talkative.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So he\u00a0 thought, since I am guilty as hell for being talkative,\u00a0 why not talk and be paid at the same time?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ML his wishes came true today.<\/p>\n

Your Petitioner would also like to thank his Pupil\u00a0 Master,\u00a0 Wong Kian Kheong Esq\u00a0 for his guidance and patience throughout the 9 months of pupillage.\u00a0 He is grateful to his Pupil Master for giving him so much court exposure and the rare\u00a0 golden opportunity to watch and assist\u00a0 one of the finest\u00a0\u00a0 litigators\u00a0\u00a0 in action.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wong Esq\u00a0\u00a0 shown him,\u00a0 to be a good advocate and solicitor, one must have\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the utmost dedication and\u00a0\u00a0 love for the law.<\/p>\n

Finally, Your Petitioner would like to thank his former colleagues,\u00a0 Dock Brief mates and friends for making the 9 month, however arduous, a truly enjoyable experience and would also like to express his gratitude to them for being able to avail themselves this morning to witness this meaningful occasion.<\/p>\n

My Lord
\n(i) \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Your Petitioner is a fit and proper person to be admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya.
\n(ii)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0all papers are in order
\n(iii)\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0no objections from the three bodies<\/p>\n

to pray that Your Petitioner be admitted and enrolled as an Advocate and Solicitor<\/p>\n

ORDER<\/p>\n

My Lord, I crave leave for Your Petitioner’s mother,\u00a0 Ms Tan Lee Koon, an advocate and solicitor of the HC Malaya, to robe him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
