SINGAPORE — Yong Pung How, independent Singapore’s second Chief Justice, has died. He was 93.

CJ Yong leaves behind a wife and daughter.

“CJ Yong shook the Bar out of its lethargy and modernised it. And he transformed our judiciary, through a relentless push for progress and excellence - within a decade of taking office, he introduced close to 1,000 initiatives in the then-Subordinate Courts!” CJ Yong was admitted as an advocate and solicitor in the Federation of Malaya in 1952 and in Singapore in 1964. He was a partner at Shook Lin & Bok, his father’s law firm, from 1952 to 1970.
