Frankie Tan Lyn Seang, called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn in July 1989, was struck off the Roll of Advocates and Solicitors of the High Court of Malaya on 19 November 2010 after the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board found him guilty of misconduct for acting dishonestly and fraudulently by witnessing and attesting a vendor's signature knowing it to be a forgery. The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal found on 12 November 2013 that being struck off comprised conduct dishonest or otherwise discreditable to a barrister contrary to paragraph 301(a)(i) of the Code of Conduct (8th Edition), and disbarred him.
