SINGAPORE — With effect from yesterday, former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong has joined the National University of Singapore’s (NUS) Faculty of Law as its first Distinguished Fellow.
As a Distinguished Fellow, Mr Chan will pursue research and writing projects, and engage with current students through “fireside chats” and lectures.
“My appointment will give me many opportunities to discuss the law in action with students, and to encourage them to look at the law in all its manifestations,” said Mr Chan, who turns 76 next month.

Do you remember polling station incident? This is the guy:
In 1992, he was appointed Attorney-General of Singapore. Acting in this capacity in 1997, he submitted an opinion to the Government of Singapore that although the Parliamentary Elections Act forbade unauthorized persons to loiter within 200 metres of polling stations on polling day, this did not apply to unauthorized persons who were inside the stations. Chan was asked to render this opinion following a complaint by the Workers' Party of Singapore that during the 1997 general election former People's Action Party Members of Parliament had loitered in polling stations.
