Yoong Heng Chan was struck off the Roll of Advocates and Solicitors of the High Court of Malaya on 20 February 2010 after the Malaysian Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board found that on or about 6 August 2007 he stole RM85,000 from a lay client. Being struck off in Malaya constituted conduct discreditable to a barrister contrary to paragraph 301(a)(i). The 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal ordered his disbarment on 11 September 2013.
