Chan Sek Keong
Chan Sek Keong, (; born 5 November 1937) was the third Chief Justice of Singapore, succeeding Chief Justice Yong Pung How on 11 April 2006〔; .〕 and holding office until 6 November 2012. Chan had earlier served as the Attorney-General of Singapore from 1992 to 2006.
==Early life and education==
Chan was born on 5 November 1937 in Ipoh, Perak, in Malaysia, the third of five children. His father was a bank clerk in the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. When the Japanese occupation of Singapore began, they fled to Taiping to stay with his grandfather.
He received his early education in King Edward VII School in Taiping together with his elder brother, and continued at the Anderson School when they moved back to Ipoh after the war ended in 1945. Chan, who was then eight years old, was placed together with other children who had missed entering school at the usual age of six years. At the time, Anderson School was the premier government school in Ipoh. He was happy in school, and mixed well with students from other races. In 1955, Chan scored eight distinctions for his Senior Cambridge School Certificate examinations – one of the best in Malaya that year. He was offered a teaching bursary. However, as becoming a teacher was not what he envisaged, he continued on to the Sixth form in hopes of securing a university.
In his second year of the Sixth Form course, his English literature teacher Dr Etherton told him that a professor of law from the University of Malaya (which opened a division in Singapore two years after he graduated) would be visiting the school to encourage students in the form to take up a new law course offered by the University. Etherton saw Chan's potential for law and urged him to try for it. Chan, unaware about the career prospects a law degree could offer, took Etherton's advice and went for an interview conducted by Professor Lee Sheridan.〔.〕
