The Road Ahead

Vision 2030

From the parade square to the courtroom. My plan for the next decade.

⚠️ Current Hypothesis: This roadmap is a living document. Subject to evolution, failure, and new data.
01

Legal Scholarship

Objective: To master the first principles of Law and Political Economy.

  • Targets: NUS or SMU Law (Class of 2027)
  • Specialization: Public, Administrative, and Criminal Law
  • Research Focus: Restorative Justice Frameworks in Urban Societies
  • Aspiration: Balancing deterrent frameworks with empathetic rehabilitation.
02

Litigation & Advocacy

Objective: To practice law with technical excellence and moral clarity.

  • Training Contract at a Big 4 Firm (Dispute Resolution)
  • Pro Bono Practice: Criminal Legal Aid Scheme (CLAS)
  • Focus: Commercial Litigation & White Collar Crime
03

Public Policy

Objective: To shape the systems that shape us.

Law is the operating system of society. My long-term ambition is to segue from practice into policy formulation, ensuring that our legal frameworks remain robust yet humane in an increasingly complex world.

"Law is order, and good law is good order."
