His late father was a decorated police officer who had served the Royal Malaysian Police, a career that spanned 35 years in the Special Branch, Anti-Gambling, Anti-Vice and his last posting in the Anti-Drugs Department whilst his mum was a home maker. His entire primary and secondary education was done at St Paul’s Institution.

He has consistently been invited to be a Judge at the Moot Trials conducted by Taylor's University Law School since 2008. Cheow Wee was admitted as an Advocate and Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in March 1993 after his stint in the educational circle. His practice is focused only in civil and criminal litigation. He currently sits on the Criminal Law Committee in the Kuala Lumpur Bar and was also formerly a committee member of the Criminal Law Committee of the Malaysian Bar. He was principle in mooting the idea of the Mentor-Mentee Programme currently being run at the Kuala Lumpur Bar.

Cheow Wee loves his food and drinks. Together with his penchant for travelling he has travelled far and wide in search of the best food. Occasionally a pint of Guinness or a single malt in the company of loved ones and good friends whilst listening to 80’s music after work will make his day. His attempts to emulate his icons on the golf course is an exercise in futility but he enjoys it regardless when he can find the time. Watching live soccer matches on television in the comfort of his home will complete his weekends.  |
