About me

I am a retired Malaysian teacher. Though I had gone briefly into legal practice, I am at heart an academic and educator. After obtaining my degree in Chemistry and Math, I became a Science and Math teacher in government secondary schools prior to my brief venturing into legal practice - upon gaining academic and professional qualifications in Law.
