About
1. I have an active practice in criminal defence (investigations and litigation). I have been involved in matters heard at all levels of the courts, from the Magistrate’s Court to the Court of Appeal. I have also acted for clients who want to pursue a Magistrates’ Complaint and/or complainants/victims of crime/s.
2. In respect of my criminal defence practice, I have defended clients in a wide variety of matters, including white-collar offences such as corruption, money laundering, falsification of accounts, cheating and tax offences. I have also acted for accused persons charged with hurt offences, sexual offences, drugs offences and offences under the Official Secrets Act 1935.
3. Criminal practice aside, I also take on Syariah Family Law matters. I am a member of the Muslim Missionary Society of Singapore (Jamiyah Singapore).
4. I am an ardent advocate of access to justice. I take on pro bono matters and have represented clients through the Criminal Legal Aid Scheme and Legal Aid Bureau. In 2025, I was recognised to have made significant meaningful contributions to the Bureau in my two years of service as the Bureau’s assigned solicitor, and was conferred with the Legal Aid Bureau Novo Award 2025.
