The Law Society of Singapore explained that its decision to pull out lawyer M Ravi as a speaker at a conference scheduled for the 27th of February was due to his ‘current medical condition’. In a press statement issued yesterday the Law Society informed that “Given the proximity of the conference, coupled with these concerns, which include his current medical condition, the effectiveness of his medical regime, and the workability of his monitoring system, the Council is of the view that it cannot responsibly continue to include him as a panellist in our Conference”.
The lawyer was scheduled to be a speaker on the two panels at the Administrative and Constitutional Law Conference 2015. According to Today Online, M Ravi had sent an email earlier today alerting the media to his withdrawal from the panel and highlighting the society’s “oppressive and derogatory treatment of its fellow member who is supposed to be treated with care and concern as he is allegedly in relapse of his illness”.
The Law Society further said: “In July 2014, the Law Society invited Mr M Ravi to be a panellist at the Conference. At this point, the Law Society had no information suggesting that there would be any concerns regarding Mr Ravi’s participation. However, as has been widely publicised, the Council of the Law Society recently received information relating to his medical condition. The council accordingly notified Mr Ravi of the council’s decision to withdraw Mr Ravi as a panellist at the conference. The decision was not taken arbitrarily and Mr Ravi was informed of the grounds of Council’s decision.”
