NEWS Unveiling of the Chief Justice's Portrait |
Presenting the Portrait of The Honourable The Chief Justice
On 27 March 2007, the Society
presented a specially commissioned portrait of The Honourable The Chief Justice
Chan Sek Keong at a ceremony at the Supreme Court, attended by the Society's
Executive Committee members. The portrait was the work of renowned local artist,
Mr Chua Mia Tee.
In 1990, the Society presented to the Supreme Court the portrait of the late
former Chief Justice Wee Chong Jin, first Chief Justice of independent Singapore
and in 1993, the Society presented a portrait of former Chief Justice Yong Pung
How to the Supreme Court. This tradition marks the Bar's respect for the Bench
and for the Chief Justice in particular as the leader and apex of the legal
profession in Singapore.
These three portraits now take pride of place outside the auditorium of the
Supreme Court at basement two.
