After completing his secondary education at Raffles Institution in 1929, he worked as a clerk in a law firm and then in the Official Assignee's office as a civil servant. Following law studies at Gray's Inn, he became a district judge in 1960 and was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court in 1963. Especially noted for his criminal judgments, Choor Singh was the first Singapore judge to impose the death penalty on a woman. Following his retirement in 1980, Choor Singh continued his close involvement in Indian and Sikh affairs. One of the young Sikhs who founded the Singapore Khalsa Association in 1931, he served as its patron and honorary chairman of its board of trustees. He also contributed to educational charities and causes, both Sikh and non-Sikh, and wrote several books on Sikhism. In 1994, the Sikh community bestowed on him its highest honour by inviting him to lay the foundation stone for the new Gurdwara Sahib building at the Gurdwara Khalsa Dharmak Sabha at 18 Niven Road."@en ; rdfs:comment "Choor Singh Sidhu (19 January 1911 \u2013 31 March 2009), known professionally as Choor Singh, was a judge of the Supreme Court of Singapore and, particularly after his retirement from the bench, a philanthropist and writer of books about Sikhism.
