Former Attorney-General Walter Woon to represent Lee Hsien Yang's wife against AGC Singapore

Former Singapore Attorney-General Professor Walter Woon has agreed to act for Lee Hsien Yang’s wife Suet Fern as she faces a disciplinary tribunal convened by the Attorney-General’s Chambers .

In January, AGC announced that Suet Fern will face a disciplinary tribunal appointed by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, in relation to her alleged role in preparing the will of the late Lee Kuan Yew. AGC said that this had placed the 60-year-old in a position of conflict and was a breach of the rules governing the conduct of lawyers because her husband was a beneficiary of the will.

The youngest child of Lee Kuan Yew has maintained that his father’s final will was drafted by lawyer Kwa Kim Li – which the latter has denied – and that Stamford Law Corporation, his wife’s law firm at the time, did not draft any of his father’s wills. Instead, Suet Fern merely facilitated the witnessing and signing of the final will, according to Hsien Yang.
