Lawrence Ang Boon Kong (Chinese: 洪文光; pinyin: Hóng Wénguāng) is a Singaporean lawyer who specialises in corporate offences and criminal law.
Ang successfully prosecuted and persuaded the trial court to impose a death sentence on Chelliah, who was coincidentally represented by his ex-classmate and friend Subhas Anandan.
Ang urged the court to reject Nadarajah’s defense of sudden and grave provocation, stating that the defendant had murdered the victim Mohamed Azad Hussein in cold blood and had brutally and mercilessly hacked him with a chopper with a premeditated intent to cause death.
[6] Before becoming CAD Director, Ang had assisted the Commission of Inquiry into the death of National Development Minister Teh Cheang Wan, who committed suicide in the midst of corruption investigations.
[8] During his time as CAD Director, Ang headed the prosecution for cases such as that of former Member of Parliament Choo Wee Khiang[9] and Barings Bank trader Nick Leeson.
