Mak Pak Shee

Mak Pak Shee (Chinese: 麦柏士; pinyin: Mài Bǎishì) was a Singaporean politician.

An African Chinese with Cantonese ancestry,[1] Mak was the leader of the Singapore-based Labour Party.

[3] In his book One Man's View of the World (2013), Singapore's first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew described Mak as a "fixer – somebody who facilitated the fulfilment of favours for a fee".

[1] In July 1948, Mak was meted a fine of S$250 for inappropriately including the honorifics "MB, BS" in his name.

His third son, Mak Kok Hoe, died aged eight in February 1957 and was buried at Bidadari Cemetery.
