By Mustafa Shafawi - CNA

In a first for a legal firm in Singapore, Rajah & Tann has announced that it will give a portion of its earnings annually to social causes.

The funds, at least S$200,000 every year, will be disbursed through the newly set up Rajah & Tann Foundation.

The law firm said apart from the annual donations from earnings, plans are in the pipeline to organise events and activities to raise additional funds for the foundation.

The foundation may expand its programme to charitable causes in the region, in line with the firm's regional footprint and presence.

Managing Partner, Lee Eng Beng, said the setting up of this foundation is a further step to deepen Rajah & Tann's commitment to play the role of a socially responsible corporate citizen in the local and regional communities.

The Rajah & Tann Foundation will be administered by the Community Foundation of Singapore (CFS), an independent, nonprofit organisation which matches donors with those in need of financial assistance.

An advisory committee, comprising Rajah & Tann's partners and staff, will work with the CFS to evaluate the applications of grants.

What a nice way to pay lesser TAX, but don't get me wrong - They have a good Heart. God Bless them!

A law firm established by Barisan Sosialis leaders T T Rajah and Tann Wee Tiong. Rajah was a short time the PAP secretary-general before the split and Tann was a Barisan candidate in 1963. Who says only Lee & Lee can make it?
