Saluting Chief Justice Yong
Singapore Chief Justice Yong Pung How retired today after more than 15 years in the CJ.
Current Attorney-General Chan Sek Keong will succeed him from April 11 for a period of three years.
Chief Justice Yong was awarded the Order of Temasek, First Class - a rare honour only given to a handful of esteemed Singaporeans.
Chief Justice Yong was known for a number of landmark decisions, including one pertaining to the Official Secrets Act and another defining clearly what corruption is under the law.
He was also known for his stiff sentences. My friends alway said "if you know that CJ is in charge of your case, drop it. Else standby to get twice the penalty"
Wishing him enjoyable retirement
