Work building on these two projects continues till today. As Adjunct Senior Research Fellow, she worked with Ass Prof Dr Burton Ong on a project regarding competition law reform in ASEAN. The project contains two components; 1) Navigating multiple national competition law regimes in ASEAN and 2) Reforming national competition law regimes in ASEAN – National vs Regional Goals?. As part of the first component a survey study on the competition compliance experience by private sector stakeholders is currently in the process of being undertaken. The second component is now undertaken during her tenure as a visiting researcher.
