About the Author
On 26 January 1962, TPB Menon became the first local graduate of the then Faculty of Law of the University of Malaya in Singapore to be called to the Singapore Bar. In the ensuing years, he was to rise to the very top of his profession. Not only was Menon to become Singapore’s leading chancery lawyer and conveyancer, he was also elected President of the Law Society of Singapore in 1980 and President of the ASEAN Law Association in 1984. Today, he is one of the most senior lawyers still in practice.
