major in statistics, 識基本python, VBA, SAS, R, 有數據分析方面intern experience
未做過bank, 會唔會都有機?

I don't think many banks really provide real money for a junior staff/intern like you to trade, unless you have some investment track records.  
There are couple ways to do so:
  • trade with your own pocket money, and keep the trade statements
  • start with some related jobs, such as risk management, trade support/ operation, etc. it could be a step stone to switch to trader role in the future
  • participate algo-trading competition to gain practical experience and recognition. Like ALGOGENE, they have regular contests every year
