CareerSingh entered public service in 1955, but later changed course to pursue a legal career, and went back to school.[1][2] He held the posts of Solicitor General and Director of Public Prosecutions, and later played a significant role in the establishment of the Family Court, on which he also served as its first judge.[1][2] In 1991 he was named a Justice of the Supreme Court.[2] He was sworn in as Chief Justice on 2 February 1998, along with Supreme Court Puisne Justices Manuel Sosa and John Rivero. He took up the CJ position at a busy time, when there were plans to add two temporary justices from Australia to help with processing the sizeable number of civil cases before the court.[2] However, with Singh's failing health in mind, just a few months later PM Manuel Esquivel transferred him to a less demanding position as a judge of the Court of Appeal and named Manuel Sosa in his place as CJ, in a controversial move right before the Belizean general election, 1998.[3][4] He died of illness the following year.[1] Personal lifeSingh is the son of a Sikh immigrant from India, but was raised Christian.[2][5] Singh graduated from the Norman Manley Law School in Jamaica in 1978.[2] He was survived by his wife, three sons, two daughters, and five grandchildren.[1] Among his sons is former Minister of Police Douglas Singh.,[5] and current CEO of Trade and Investments for Belize, Michael Singh References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=http://edition.channel5belize.com/archives/23441|title=Justice George Singh dies|work=News 5 Belize|date=1999-03-09|accessdate=2012-04-20}} {{s-start}}{{s-legal}}{{succession box|title=Chief Justice of the Belize Supreme Court|before=George Brown|after=Manuel Sosa|years=1998}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Singh, George}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite news|url=http://edition.channel5belize.com/archives/25393|title=Chief and two new justices sworn in|work=News 5 Belize|date=1998-02-02|accessdate=2012-04-20}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://edition.channel5belize.com/archives/24445|title=New Chief Justice to be appointed before election|work=News 5 Belize|date=1998-08-19|accessdate=2012-04-19}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://edition.channel5belize.com/archives/24390|title=Sosa sworn in as Chief Justice|work=News 5 Belize|date=1998-08-26|accessdate=2012-04-19}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.sikhglobalvillage.com/stories_sikhbelize1.htm|title=Immigrant Stories: Belize|publisher=Sikh Global Village|accessdate=2012-04-20}} 9 : Year of birth missing|1999 deaths|Belizean Christians|Belizean people of Indian descent|Chief Justices of Belize|Directors of Public Prosecutions of Belize|Solicitors-General of Belize|Converts to Christianity from Sikhism|People associated with the Norman Manley Law School |
