I am currently a Senior Professor at the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya. My main areas of research include Varieties of English, in particular, Malaysian English, as well as language use in educational and in multilingual contexts. Additionally, I  work on an endangered language, Melaka Portuguese, which I have digitally archived at the Endangered Languages Archive. As part of my interest in indigenous languages and culture, in 2019, I co-convened an exhibition on indigenous languages in Malaysia in conjunction with the International Year of Indigenous Languages. My work and thoughts on endangered languages in general, and more specifically on Melaka Portuguese, have been featured in local and international media. I am a Fellow of the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM) and a 2024 recipient of the ASM's Top Research Scientist. I was the 2013 Ian Gordon Fellow at the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Victoria University of Wellington, and until recently an Adjunct Professor at Mahidol University in Thailand.  

As a Senior Lecturer at the prestigious University of Malaya, I bring a wealth of expertise in parliamentary behavior and foreign affairs studies, with a particular focus on Malaysia-China Relations, the South China Sea dispute, defense analysis, and international relations. I earned my Doctor of Law degree from Xiamen University, where my doctoral thesis delved into the intricate dynamics of Malaysia-China relations, specifically from the unique perspective of Malaysian parliamentary proceedings. This in-depth analysis provides a nuanced understanding of the diplomatic intricacies between the two nations. My dedication to advancing knowledge is reflected in my scholarly contributions. My academic journey has been guided by a passion for unraveling the complexities of international relations, providing insights that not only enrich the academic community but also inform policymakers and stakeholders. Through my research, teaching, and commitment to academic excellence, I aim to make enduring contributions to the understanding of parliamentary behavior, foreign affairs, and the intricate tapestry of Malaysia's international relationships.
