We’re pleased to share that our Nicholas Yap recently served as a Co-Arbitrator at the Malaysian Bar Sports Arbitration Moot Competition (MyBar SAMCO 2025), organised by the Bar Council Sports Law Practice Committee.

The competition brings together law students from universities across Malaysia to experience sports arbitration in a simulated setting, tackling disputes inspired by real-world sports cases and developing advocacy, reasoning, and teamwork skills.

We are glad to have contributed to an initiative that promotes practical learning and supports the development of future members of the legal profession. Kudos to the organising team at Malaysian Bar for a well-run and meaningful event.

We are proud to support the Women’s Equality Day Online Essay Contest, organised by the Organisation of Women Law Students from Advance Tertiary College, in collaboration with Women’s Aid Organisation.

This contest invites students to explore pressing issues, such as domestic violence, harassment, systemic inequalities, and the role of youth in driving positive change. At Daniel & Wong, we believe youth voices and dialogue are vital in shaping a safer, more equal future for women.

Fun fact: The trailblazing B.H. Oon (Lim Beng Hong) became Malaysia’s first female lawyer and played an instrumental role in amending the law that finally allowed women to practise at the Malayan Bar in 1935.

Last Friday, we had the pleasure of hosting members of the Organisation of Women Law Students (OWLS) from Advance Tertiary College.

The visit featured a series of sharing sessions led by our partners, Daniel Albert and Kenneth Wong, as well as our associates from the Dispute Resolution and Corporate & Commercial departments – offering the students a closer look at life in legal practice.

We hope this visit was a meaningful step in their journey and that they’ll carry the insights with them as they grow into the lawyers of tomorrow.

We’re pleased to see our associate, Thevan Aruljothi, return to his alma mater, Advance Tertiary College, to conduct his first Legal Drafting Workshop. From participant to presenter, it was a full-circle and meaningful moment.

The session focused on practical insights into written advocacy, and we hope it provided students with valuable takeaways.

Kudos to Thevan Aruljothi for leading the workshop, and to Amanda Yap and the Moot Society committee of Advance Tertiary College for making the session a success!

We recently went on our highly anticipated annual firm trip to Canggu, Bali, on a 4-day, 3-night retreat focused on connection, reflection, and growth.

Beyond the beautiful landscapes and shared laughter, the trip served as a productive platform for collaboration and strategic thinking. While we thoroughly enjoyed team bonding activities, including engaging performances by our pupils, we also dedicated time to focused discussions on the firm’s direction, business development initiatives, and strategies to elevate our collective performance.

It was a valuable opportunity to realign our goals, exchange ideas, and strengthen our shared commitment to growing together — not just as individuals, but as a firm.

Last Friday, we had the privilege of organising a blood donation drive in collaboration with the National Blood Centre and the Ministry of Health, and we’re thrilled to share that it was a tremendous success!

Thanks to the overwhelming support from our colleagues, clients, friends, and the wider community, we welcomed 92 volunteer donors, out of which 75 successful donations were made — surpassing the target of 50 set by the National Blood Centre.

Your generosity will go a long way in saving lives.

A special thank you to our sponsor, Gong Cha Malaysia, for keeping our donors refreshed and energised. Your support added an extra touch of warmth and hospitality.

Daniel & Wong‘s teams hit the ground running (literally!) at the 10th Anniversary KL Bar Run 2025 hosted by the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee last Saturday. Bright and early at 6 a.m., Team DW Mastercopy, DW Final, and DW Swifters laced up and gave it their all.

The race wasn’t just about the finish line—it was about cheering each other on, sharing laughs, and catching up with our peers in the legal community. The energy, camaraderie, and fun made it an unforgettable day.

A big thank you to the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee for putting together such a fantastic event. We’ll be back next year—aiming for even better timing and just as much fun!
