SINGAPORE - Though he was not the most studious among his peers in law school, Mr Wong Woon Kwong has gone on to prosecute high-profile cases including that of Malaysian drug trafficker Nagaenthran K. Dharmalingam.
They have the right to suffix the initials “SC” to their names. With the two new appointments, Singapore now has 98 senior counsel among 6,273 legal practitioners. He is currently a senior director in the sex crimes cluster of AGC’s crime division and deputy head of the organisation’s Advocacy Group. He will be appointed Deputy Chief Prosecutor on April 1.
A case that has left an impression on Mr Wong was Nagaenthran’s. He was sentenced to death in 2010 for importing 42.72g of heroin the year before in a bundle strapped to his thigh. The case gained international prominence, with headlines focusing on the offender’s alleged intellectual disability.
According to him, he was not 'studious' because he go lounges, and play pools and computer games. But I beg to defer. Even if he didn't do all those, he may still not be as 'studious' a student as he might probably think he could be.
