Yesterday marked a significant anniversary few know about. 70 years ago, on 7 August 1951, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was called to the Singapore Bar. As a lawyer, he often represented trade unions pro bono. This paved the way for him to enter politics, and eventually become Singapore’s Founding Prime Minister.
As PM, Mr Lee took an active hand in creating a robust system of laws and an effective legal framework. Thanks to his efforts, today we enjoy the rule of law, and good law and order prevails in Singapore. – LHL
