A chirpy chat with the Queen’s Counsel Modified2:08 am - MALAYSIANSKINI | In February 2018, Ng Jern-Fei was appointed a Queen’s Counsel, placing him among the elite top 10 percent of Britain’s 17,000 barristers. Already making waves as one of the youngest-ever to attain that status, the La Salle PJ old boy has since gone from strength to strength establishing himself in the field of international arbitration. It’s not criminal law, and thus not headline-grabbing, but Ng, 42, is clearly setting benchmarks in his profession. Earlier this month, he told Malaysiakini about the trials (literally) and tribulations he has been facing as he adapts his work to the post-Covid-19 world.
