[PETALING JAYA: He was just 17 when he left for England.

On Feb 26 in London, Jern-Fei Ng, 38, was appointed a Queen’s Coun­sel, joining the top 10% of Britain’s 17,000 barristers.

But the story is more than just an inspiring one – it is about resilience and hard work.

Not one to give up easily, Ng believes that he can always reach beyond the horizon.

An old boy of La Salle Petaling Jaya, Ng graduated with a BA Honours in Law from Cambridge University. He was called to the English Bar (Lincoln’s Inn) in 2002 and has been in practice at Essex Court Chambers, London since 2004.
