  • “My wife, Ann and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ms Vivien Fan, Ms Anis Sohaimi and Mr Eric Toh from MWKA for their professionalism.

  • “The team at MahWengKwai & Associates, Eric and Rachel, were extremely helpful and fast. We had an issue that needed to be resolved in Malaysia but we didn’t know anyone in Malaysia. We wrote to 10 different law firms from a Google search and MahWengKwai & Associates were the first to reply, and gave us the most confidence based on their replies. They even went above and beyond in one occasion where they were concerned for the safety of my wife, and made sure she felt safe and protected. Their professional service catered to our case, they always responded to questions quickly, and we were never made to feel like a small or unimportant client. I give my highest recommendation to this wonderful team of professionals!” – James and Hana, Bali, Indonesia
