He was a PSC Merit Bursary Award holder and served as Deputy Public Prosecutor and State Counsel prior to joining Straits Law. Raj heads the entire litigation department of the firm and one of our two litigation teams. He handles complex litigation matters involving issues of negligence. Raj is a "lawyer's lawyer" and is often briefed as counsel in matters where he has acknowledged expertise. |
| Raj enjoys leisurely drives along Malaysian roads and highways, as it is reminiscent of Singapore in the 60s and 70s. He misses the nostalgia of days gone by and travels across the causeway to relive them. |

| "I can think of many as each case is unique. There is really no ordinary case if you are prepared to adopt a fresh perspective. Recently, I felt great satisfaction in handling a case for an infant who suffered from birth injuries. It brought medicine and law together. In fact, it brought the very latest research in medicine in the area of obstetric related causes of birth asphyxia and subsequent brain injury even after the cessation of hypoxia. It was like a journey and I am happy that I finally made a difference to the baby's future." |
