Yong Pung How



Yong Pung How (Chinese: 杨邦孝; born 1926, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) was a Singaporean lawyer, government official, who served as the second Chief Justice of Singapore from 28 September 1990 to 10 April 2006. His legacy includes significant reform to the judicial procedure, although it has been marred by claims of his preference for efficiency over justice in executing sentences and for his deference to the ruling political party, the People's Action Party, in politically motivated cases alleging defamation.
