Ma HanFeng
Oon & Bazul LLP has hired a former government attorney from Singapore’s tax agency, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS), to lead its newly established Tax Practice.
Ma provides advice on a variety of tax-related topics, such as tax disputes involving company and individual income tax, goods and services tax, property tax, and stamp duty.
His appointment comes in response to clients’ growing demand for specialized tax knowledge in light of the movement of affluence to the city-state, according to a statement from Oon & Bazul.
Ma spent 13 years working for the Singaporean government before joining Taxise in 2022. He served as the Attorney General’s Chambers’ deputy public prosecutor, the Ministry of Culture, Community, and Youth’s senior legal adviser/state counsel, and the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore’s senior legal specialist (tax).
19 partners now make up Oon & Bazul. Ting Chi Yen, a corporate partner, recently left the company to join Joseph Tan. Jude Benny, Mei Yen Tan, co-head of the restructuring practice at Norton Rose Fulbright, and Jerald Foo, a lawyer, are all moving to Selvam.
