Reflections on your time in Kuala Lumpur and at Thomas Philip?
My time at TP was an influential moment in my legal education – it was my first taste of practical experience and I loved every moment of it. It confirmed that this was the right career choice for me and fuelled my hunger to achieve success in this profession. MTP’s mentorship and generosity were instrumental in building my confidence as a young practitioner. I will always be grateful to MTP and the team at TP for that opportunity and I have very fond memories of my time there.
