SINGAPORE — Senior counsel Tan Cheng Han has been re-appointed president of the Law Society of Singapore, with Daniel Koh Choon Guan and Dinesh Singh Dhillon continuing as vice-presidents, the society said on Nov 10.
Remy Choo Zheng Xi, one of three council members re-elected in October, has been appointed treasurer. Senior counsel Blossom Hing Shan Shan, Nicholas Jeyaraj Narayanan and Dhillon were appointed to the 21-member council by Law Minister Edwin Tong under the Legal Profession Act.
The council has also co-opted Lim Seng Siew, Sarah Peggy Yee May Kuen and Joseph Liow Wang Wu, all of whom are already serving on the current council.
Reflecting on his re-appointment, Tan thanked fellow council members for their trust. “To my learned brethren in the law, please rest assured that I will continue to do my best to advance the rule of law and the interests of the legal profession,” he said.
Tan first became president in 2026 after Dhillon, who had been president-elect that year, agreed to step aside in December 2025. Dhillon’s earlier election win had caused disquiet because he was an unelected council member.
The council subsequently amended a clause in its consent resolution to require that the president be an elected member of the 21-member council.
The remaining members for 2027 include four new names: senior counsel Jimmy Yim, Debby Lim, Foo Hsien Weng and Siddartha Bodi. They join Samuel Chacko, Ramesh Selvaraj, Christine Low Ying Li, Benjamin Foo Guo Zheng, Darryl Chew Zijie, Thaddaeus Aaron Tan Yong Zhong, Mori Ong and Arthur Lim Jun Da.
