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

Career[edit]

AnAfrican Chinese with Cantonese ancestry,[1] Mak was the leader of the Singapore-based Labour Party. He left the party in August 1950.[2] When he was in the Cabinet, he held the position of Junior Minister.[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]

Lawsuits[edit]

In July 1948, Mak was meted a fine of S$250 for inappropriately including the honorifics "MB, BS" in his name.[4]

Personal life[edit]

Mak had at least three sons. His third son, Mak Kok Hoe, died aged eight in February 1957 and was buried at Bidadari Cemetery.[5]
