A major figure of opposition against the ruling Singapore government has passed away in Boston, Massachusetts, where he had been living in exile.
Francis Seow lived to the ripe old age of 88 until the time of his passing, which Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan said to Yahoo Singapore was due to pneumonia.
Seow had been appointed Solicitor-General in 1969, serving the role until 1971, before becoming the president of the Law Society in 1986.
