Last week, our Managing Partner, had the privilege of participating at the International Safe Sport Symposium 2024 alongside Dr. Yatela Zainal Abidin. The event was moderated by Prof Dato’ Dr Shamala Subramaniam.

Together, they addressed one of the most critical issues of our time—sexual harassment.

Their impactful discussion emphasized a powerful truth: Sexual harassment has no place anywhere.

Let’s stand united to raise awareness, foster safe environments, and take action toward a future free from sexual harassment. Together we can create safer spaces for all.

"There is no purpose for a bail application to be heard by a court but not processed due to poor bureaucracy" - Alvin Kengyi

Lawyer Alvin Tan says there is no reason for a bail application to be heard by a court but not processed due to ‘poor bureaucracy’.

The firm is pleased to announce that two of our associates, Alvin Kengyi and Joel Chua, have been promoted to Senior Associate effective 1.4.2023. This announcement was scheduled to be released on 1.4.2023 but it had to be delayed one day because of April Fools Day celebration. We seek to avoid any form of confusion that may potentially arise from this announcement. :)

The Firm states that this promotion is a well deserved promotion for both Alvin Tan and Joel Chua as they have consistently demonstrated exceptional legal and leadership skills at the Firm. Not to mention, both hardworking men also managed to cause the Firm to foot higher electricity bill by sleeping in the office! :)

Joel Chua’s achievement thus far to name a few, is setting aside two injunctions in the Alor Setar High Court at the same time. Althought trained as a civil litigation lawyer, he was also able to taste success in criminal defence by winning his first white collar crime (breach of trust) trial by conducting the entire trial himself.

Alvin Tan Keng Yi on the other hand won his first civil trial on his own against a senior practitioner (with very little guidance from the seniors). One of Alvin's best quality is the never say die attitude and this was again proved to be useful when he successfully defended 3 China Nationals charged under the Immigration Act.

Who knew keeping adorable tortoises could cost so much? Our client found out the hard way after facing 7 charges under the Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 for keeping 7 different controlled species of tortoises at home without special permit. Based on the latest amendments to the Act, the charges against our client carries higher fine and mandatory imprisonment not exceeding 15 years.

Our client was represented by Mr Alvin Tan and Ms Clara Oi. We managed to get our client released on bail with the condition of one surety and RM 30,000.00 bail. Our client is also required to handover his original passport to Court until disposal of the cases. However, upon further submissions, the Court allowed our client to surrender his passport at a later date, after our client returns from his pre-planned overseas trip.
