Eng Yuh Pei, Dixon

A fighter, a strategist, and a perfectionist.

With sharp eyes and keen insight, he identifies core issues and crafts tailored strategies to tackle them effectively. He fights for his clients without fear and favour, embracing challenges without compromise.  

In November 2017, he completed his pupillage at Messrs. Raveen & Associates and was subsequently admitted as an Advocate and Solicitors of the High Court of Malaya.  In January 2019, he established his own firm, Messrs. Chan Eng & Co.  In his very first year as a legal practitioner, he boldly took on the challenge of conducting a high-profile kidnapping case in the High Court of Kuantan.  He secured a remarkable victory, with all four (4) accused acquitted and discharged at the prima facie stage.  That same year, he also represented a client in a Disciplinary Hearing before the Bar Council Disciplinary Board, successfully challenging a fellow senior lawyer who was subsequently fined.

He does not compromise when it comes to justice.  He fought relentlessly for an innocent elderly woman whose bank account had been misused by her husband who had disappeared without trace.  He managed to secure a win for that woman and set a legal precedent in Malaysia, a leading case under Section 29(1) of Minor Offence Act 1955.

He represented a client who was injured by a team of police and wrongfully charged with three (3) offences.  Despite all odds, he successfully appealed the case at the High Court, where the client was acquitted and discharged of all three (3) charges.  He also represented a former bank manager who had served the institution for thirteen (13) years and three (3) months, but was unfairly and unjustly terminated.  He fought for his client all the way to the Court of Appeal and successfully securing compensation for the wrongful termination.

Besides, he has been involved in numerous high-profile criminal cases that received extensive media coverage, such as “Two Businessmen Of An Investment Company With Illegal Deposit Taking”, “The Married Couple Charged With Human Trafficking For The Purpose Of Exploitation By Unlawful Transfer Of Custody Of Two Babies & Falsifying Birth Registration Forms”, “Penang Speaker’s Ex-Aide Charged With Molestation”, “Bekas Pengarah Mengaku Tak Salah Pindah Wang Syarikat”, “Ex-Penang Front Party Chairman Charged With Trafficking A Woman For Forced Labour Exploitation” and others.

Entering his eighth (8th) years of legal practice, he has handled more than FOUR HUNDRED (400) cases across a broad spectrum of legal areas.  His experience includes those drugs offences, LLPK (Langkah-Langkah Pencegahan Khas), Forfeiture of Properties, AMLA (Anti-Money, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001), ATIPSOM (Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007), commercial crime cases, sexual offences, immigration cases, gambling cases, capital punishment cases, summon cases under Streets, Drainage and Building Act 1974, Town and Country Planning Act 1976, Environmental Quality Act 1974, Poisons Act 1952, Sale of Drugs Act 1952, Road Transport Act 1987, Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994, employment and industrial relation matters, passing off and false endorsement, defamation, general civil disputes, divorce proceedings and others.

He has also been appointed as a legal advisor to various societies, associations, and companies. In addition, he actively participates in charity events and represents animal welfare associations on a pro bono basis.

Currently, he is leading a legal team representing the former Director-General of Health, Ministry of Health Malaysia, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Dr. Noor Hisham bin Abdulllah in matters involving false endorsement and passing off.
