The SMU School of Law will be renamed the Yong Pung How School of Law from April 11 this year, the day on which Singapore's second chief justice and SMU's third chancellor would have turned 95. The University said that the school remained indebted to Dr Yong's vision and guidance, and that he played a critical role in the development of the School of Law and its curriculum. "SMU has been privileged to have a long and deep association with Dr Yong Pung How," said SMU Chairman Mr Ho Kwon Ping. "Dr Yong was a force of wisdom and his legacy will continue to positively shape the growth of our University and the School of Law. We are humbled and privileged to honour Dr Yong by naming our School of Law after him," he added.
