Six trainee lawyers, including three Indians, who had applied to practice law in Singapore withdrew their applications on Monday after reports surfaced that they had cheated in the 2020 Bar Exam. According to media reports, Monisha Devaraj, Kushal Atul Shah, Sriram Ravindran, Matthew Cho Jup Feng, Liayan Wong Chung Yeung and Lin Kuik Yi Ting have withdrawn their applications to practice law.
According to a report by Channel News Asia on Monday, five of the accused had shared answers to six exam questions via WhatsApp, while Kuik had colluded with another candidate for three question papers. The High Court judge allowed all six trainee lawyers to withdraw their bar applications. It is worth noting that before practicing law in Singapore, law graduates have to become members of the bar and for that they have to pass an examination.
