Azmi & Associates is pleased to share the news that the 13th Tun Suffian Memorial Lecture will be hosted by Yayasan Tun Suffian and the University of Malaya Law Faculty on 10th October 2024, held at the Auditorium Tun Mohamed Suffian, Faculty of Law, University of Malaya.

The invited distinguished keynote speaker is no other than Dato Sri Chan Sek Keong, who served as the Chief Justice of Singapore for the period of 2006 to 2012.

Dato Sri Sek Keong, originally from Ipoh, pursued his early education at Anderson School Ipoh right until his HSC. His remarkable legal career began with studying law at the University of Malaya in Singapore from 1957 to 1961. Following his studies, he practiced law in Malaya and then Singapore, eventually being appointed Judicial Commissioner in 1986 and then elevated to the High Court of Singapore in 1988 until he ascended to the position of Chief Justice of Singapore in 2006.

For the 13th Tun Suffian Memorial Lecture, Dato Sri Chan Sek Keong will deliver a keynote speech titled, “Their Law in Our Hands – The Application of English Law Act 1993 (Singapore): Are there lessons for the Civil Law Act 1956 (Malaysia)?”. His vast legal expertise and pivotal role in shaping the judiciary in Singapore make his insights particularly valuable.

Dato Sri Chan Sek Keong was conferred his award carrying the title of Dato Sri by the Royal Highness Sultan of Perak.

Azmi & Associates is proud to be one of the sponsors for this event, continuing our commitment to legal excellence and education.
