The National Library together with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) have organised an exhibition on the late Mr David Marshall.  The exhibition is held at the Promenade, Level 10, National Library Building.

Born in Singapore into a middle-class Jewish family, the brilliant, ebullient and charismatic David Marshall rose to become the most famous criminal lawyer of his time, winning what most people thought were hopeless cases. His brief sojourn into politics established him as a household name in Singapore when, as a member of Singapore’s smallest ethnic minority, he became its first Chief Minister. Marshall was also one of the most important leaders of Singapore’s Jewish community, and late in life won accolades as Singapore’s first ambassador to France. This exhibition celebrates the extraordinary life and achievements of this great man.

Quite a few of the items on display are on loan from St Andrew's Village.

Admission is Free.
