I am a Professor at the Department of English Language, Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, University of Malaya (UM). My main areas of research interest are the segmental and prosodic features of spoken Malaysian English but I have also worked on the sound system of other languages like Malacca Portuguese. I am currently working on language revitalisation projects for Malacca Portuguese. I was Dean of the Faculty from 2015-2018. I have published papers in journals like Studies in Second Language Acquisition, World Englishes, English Today, Asian Englishes and Journal of the International Phonetic Association (in press).
