"This book assesses Chong Jin's achievements in building up a highly respected judiciary amidst a tumultuous social and political environment that made it necessary for him to take a safe road that would preserve the Judiciary's independence in dispensing justice to all equally and impartially. As the author says, Chong Jin was a wise judge, and 'As the Chief Justice, he steered the Judiciary through the turbulence and his era laid the foundation for the rule of law of modern Singapore'.
...
This is a book which all members of the Bar, especially the present generation of lawyers, should read to get the flavour of the public persona of Chong Jin. He had sought, by example and precept, to uphold the dignity of his office, the integrity of the Judiciary in administering justice, and the rule of law throughout his long years of service as Chief Justice. Readers can judge for themselves whether he has succeeded and left a legacy worthy of remembrance by the Bench and the Bar."
- Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong
