Former Solicitor-General and Law Society president Francis Seow has died at the age of 88.
Singapore Democratic Party chief Chee Soon Juan broke the news on his Facebook page. Chee said that Seow, a father of four, died in Boston, USA, where he had been living in exile.
Chee added, “I always enjoyed his wit when we met. He also wrote the Foreword to my book, The Power of Courage. My deepest condolences to the Seow family.”
Seow, who joined the Singapore Legal Service in 1956, served as Solicitor-General from 1969-71. He became Law Society president in 1986.
In 1987, Seow was one of the lawyers who represented 16 individuals arrested and detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), as part of Operation Spectrum. They were alleged to have been part of a Marxist conspiracy against the government and people of Singapore.
In 1988, Seow was also detained under the ISA for 72 days, when he was accused of having received funds from the United States to promote democracy in Singapore. He later alleged that he was subjected to torture during his detention.
That same year, Seow was part of a Workers’ Party team that contested Eunos GRC in the General Election, against the People’s Action Party. The WP team garnered more than 49 per cent of the vote.
Later accused of tax evasion, Seow fled the country and was convicted in absentia.
