Anglia Law School is pleased to announce the permanent appointment of Dr Teng Guan Khoo as Senior Lecturer in Law. Teng Guan began his journey with Anglia Law School as an undergraduate and has been an ambassador for the Law School throughout his studies.

Teng Guan's story is one of mutual commitment and support, as he explains:

"December 2011 represents a key watershed in my life. After over a decade of study at Anglia Ruskin University, I achieved the pinnacle of my studies with the completion of my PhD. Little did I know back in September 1999 that my journey would be so long and culminate in that has been a third of my lifetime studying and working at Anglia Ruskin University.

"It is important to me, however, that this does not end my journey and, following the completion of my Doctorate, I now embark upon the next stage of my career: this time as a Senior Lecturer within the Law School. This is an important challenge as I am committed to use the wealth of experience and knowledge that I have gained through my studies to pass on to the current batch of students embarking upon their own careers and try to encourage them to maximise their own achievements as I have mine. While at Anglia Ruskin University I have completed my studies at undergraduate (LLB (Hons)) and postgraduate (Postgraduate Diploma in Legal Practice, LLM and PhD) levels and settled in Chelmsford.

"I am exceedingly proud of being offered a full time post at the University and, while I now reside in England, I have not lost sight of my roots in Penang, Malaysia and am proud to say that my achievements have been celebrated back at home also. Not just by my immediate family and friends but also through my ancestral clanhouse, the Khoo Kongsi (Khoo Clan House). Almost 175 years old and with its headquarters in Fujian Province in PR China, the clan building celebrates the academic achievements of its clansmen and already displays three plaques commemorating my previous studies and, before the end of this year, will be unveiling a new plaque to honour the ultimate achievement of my PhD.

"Now, as I look forward to the future, I retain the enthusiasm and excitement I initially felt on my first day of study as I entered Kolej PTPL (formerly Institute Perkim Goon), Anglia Ruskin University's partner college in Penang in 1999. This has not diminished in any way. I remain grateful to all my friends and colleagues that have helped me and welcomed me over the years and enabled me to build my career and now that my studies are over, continue to support me in my efforts to develop my research and teaching and contribute to the ongoing journey of the University itself."

We wish Teng Guan continued success and a long and happy future at Anglia Ruskin!
