Does it really matter?

Some time ago the former dean of the law faculty younger brother also lawyer was convicted of stealing from his client. Initially he had run road but eventually returned to Singapore and did his time. This chap had a serious gambling habit.

Family stood by him. Think the father was also a lawyer.

Wah lau these lawyers get in trouble is to steal tens of millions of dollars!

At least the payoff is good.

How much did Susan Lim charge that Brunei Patient? $40m over 4 years.

And her case is a one of a kind. LOL!
 
last heard He was out early for good conduct.

Wishing him had overcame those Demons within.

Run-away lawyer breaks down in court
Tan Cheng Yew, broke down in court on Monday when he heard the words of his former friends who claimed that he could change for the better.

Former lawyer, Tan Cheng Yew, who was on the run for six years after he misappropriated a client's funds, was handed a nine-year jail term for criminal breach of trust and cheating to the tune of $4.8 million on Monday.

The Straits Times reported that the one-time star debater at the National University of Singapore law faculty was convicted of misappropriating $1.5 million and $1.9 million from five members of a Tan family.

Tan, who is not related to the family, had advised his clients to place the sum of $1.5 million under his firm's trust.

But he deposited the sum into his own DBS acount and pledged the amount as security for a personal loan which he later took from DBS.

He was also guilty of cheating a Mr Tommy Tan Kwee Khoon, part of the same family, of $480,000 and $900,000 in 2002, which he had intended to use to settle gambling debts.

Tan's lawyer, Michael Khoo, argued that his ill-gotten funds were received in personal capacity rather than that of a lawyer.

However the prosecution insisted that the he committed the offences as the family lawyer and abused their trust by converting large sums of money for his personal use.

Tan's lawyer read a mitigation plea in court on Monday that moved his client to tears.

The one paged plea was written by four of his former classmates from National University of Singapore (NUS) law school: Senior Counsel Hri Kumar Nair, Senior Counsel Harpreet Singh Nehal, Mr Adrian Tan and Mr Tony Yeo.

The Straits Times reported that Mr Nair and Mr Nehal were in court.

It also quoted the letter stating that Tan's classmates had known him as a model law student who was very bright, diligent and had helped classmates with their work.

The plea also mentioned that the offences Tan has been found guilty of are 'clearly acts for which he should be punished' and that Tan also accepts he should be punished.

However, they also pointed out that Tan, spent considerable time and money helping needy children at The Haven run by the Salvation Army.

They said it was painful to see his promising future destroyed.

They felt that with the right support, he could be rehabilitated. 'We ask that his journey back into society be allowed to begin sooner, rather than later.'



Tan comes from a family of lawyers; his older brother Professor Tan Cheng Han is the dean of the law faculty at NUS and a Senior Counsel, while is father Mr Tan Hock Kim, 85, who was in court yesterday, is a retired lawyer.



He could have been jailed for up to 10 years for criminal breach of trust and up to seven years for cheating.


An excerpt from the plea:

"...none of us will ever be able to fathom the fear and extreme desperation which would have caused him to walk away from the only life he knew, his family and all the people who were dear to him
"Cheng Yew has already borne not inconsiderable punishment for his conduct - being away from his aged parents for years and having to live with the daily knowledge of the shame he has brought on his family.

The shame and pain can never be eradicated."
 
Gambling problem. Sounds like it. Turned desperate.

Wonder for doctors if they got gambling problem how they get millions from their patient ar?
 
Oh did not know this.

Singapore real funny. Local law faculty has angmoh as dean...whereas in HK two of its unis habe Singaporeans as dean of their law facs...that said the angmoh is Tony Tan's son in law.
Singapoor got goodest lawyers but no justice.. :unsure:

Tan Cheng Yew is a PR. His PR status was revoked after his release from prison 2 years ago. He's now back in JB working for a big company as their head of legal or something. That company is his ex-client. And he's earning at least $20K+ every month in Sing Dollars. He's a survivor and very talented. Senior Counsel calibre.
 
Wahh...many thanks for update...:thumbsup:

I don’t quite believe this , that TOP Lawyers in the land of Bolehland earns $20 k or 60 k ringgit monthly , I myself know some TOP notch legal eagle in KL , that’s where the money is not in JB , I am quite certain about this

no lawyer who is a salaried man earns the figure you quoted , that is simply unbelievable

yes , some Lawyers in the bolehland do earns millions but they usually own their company and are politically connected , eg Shafee Abdullah who is representing Najib now .the others are those broking deals between judges and the accused ,also paid in millions

but most of these high powered Lawyers in bolehland are either an Indian or a Malay , very very seldom a chinese

but one thing for sure Lawyers in bolehland never made money because of their caliber but through their connections

The company is a Singapore company. He is just stationed in Bolehland and works from there. He's paid his salary in Sing $. Nothing wrong with that.

Okie , anything can indeed happen ,! And so be it

just curious , why would a Sinkie co wants an ex Sinkie lawyer that too an ex convict in JB ?

I am curious because I do know a bit on how things works in bolehland

even to get some documents correct the legal fraternity in bolehland depends on who knows who , otherwise no matter how smart your lawyer is , one can go a merry go around chasing your own tail

most importantly the familiarity of how things work legally or otherwise is critical , so why would a Sinkie co wanna a foreigner doing that job ?

just wondering , bro
