Megan Yap graduated from the University of London with an LL.B (Hons) (Second Class Upper Division) in 2022 and later obtained her Certificate in Legal Practice in 2024.

During her 10-month tenure as a paralegal at Messrs Rosli Dahlan & Saravana Partnership, Megan worked on corporate tax advisory matters and disputes involving income tax, real property gains tax, reinvestment allowance, customs and excise, and matters related to transfer pricing. She assisted in revising and updating chapters in Halsbury’s Laws of Malaysia on tax laws, ensuring accuracy and relevance through meticulous research.

Megan has actively combined her legal acumen with her dedication to public policy and youth advocacy. As a Parliamentary Fellow (Felo Parlimen) in 2021, she worked closely with prominent legislators such as YB Dato’ Sri Reezal Merican and YB Puan Michelle Ng, focusing on leadership, advocacy, and youth mental health policy. As a representative of Kota Melaka (P.138) in Parlimen Wanita Muda 2021, Megan contributed to research on domestic violence and advocated for reforms on suicide laws and mental health treatment in Malaysia under the guidance of Datuk Heng Seai Kie. Her background also includes significant involvement in policy and governance, where she organized Malaysia’s inaugural Mental Health Youth Conference in 2021 and participated as a Sirikandi in Undi18’s policy mentorship program, supported by the Canadian government.

Apart from her legal career, Megan has a keen interest in theology and is working towards obtaining her Certificate in Theology through Equip Gospel Ministries (a distance-learning program with Moore Theological College, Australia). Megan also enjoys exploring different cultures and languages and has acquired basic knowledge of German and American Sign Language.

Her master is our Partner, Abu Daud bin Abd Rahim.
