Pro Bono SG is proud to announce the renewal of the 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Community Law Centre @ Tian De Temple, signed between PBSG, Tian De Temple and R.S. Solomon Foundation Limited. We were honoured to have Senior Minister of State for Transport and Law, Mr Murali Pillai, SC, attend our lunch engagement and witness the signing on 9 March 2026.
On the 10-year commitment, Mr Murali Pillai, SC, stated in his speech, “It recognises that access to justice is not a short-term initiative, but an ongoing responsibility. When legal assistance is embedded in trusted community spaces, people seek help earlier. Problems are addressed before they escalate. The law becomes a shield, not a barrier.”
The afternoon also included an enlightening sharing session on the genesis of the community law centres and the partnerships that brought them to life, featuring speakers: Mr Raymond Wang, Chairman of Tian De Temple; Mr Eddie Tay, Founder of Realm of Tranquility; as well as Mr Richard Siaw, 2022/23 Pro Bono Ambassador and Managing Director of R.S. Solomon LLC, who spearheaded the community-based legal assistance initiative.
This MOU reaffirms our commitment to bringing legal assistance closer to communities facing mobility, digital, or social barriers in Singapore. We look forward to the next decade of meaningful partnership.
