The SGM Justice Group held a two-day nationwide seminar on 1 and 2 November 2025 at the SGM Melaka Culture Centre to commemorate its 20th anniversary. Themed “Youth! Uphold the Mentor’s Spirit, Soar Toward Justice,” the event gathered 30 lawyers, chambering pupils, law students and people working in legal-related fields nationwide to explore the synergy between faith and legal practice. 

In encouraging the participants, General Director Koh Sia Feai stressed that the core of the Justice Group lies in understanding and embodying the mentor-disciple spirit. In reminding them that “kosen-rufu is the highest form of justice,” he also urged them to practise the mentor-disciple spirit in their work, homes and communities. 

In his address, SGM president Johnny Ng highlighted that Nichiren Daishonin’s writings – filled with hope, courage and a vow – serve as a compass helping legal practitioners to remain upright and exercise sound judgment amid complex realities, especially when confronting pressure caused by caseload, ethical dilemmas or career decisions, and and urged participants to root their work in faith, the dignity of life and principles of justice.

Highlights included a forum, small-group dialogues and experience-sharing.

In the closing discussion, the participants affirmed their determination to uphold the mentor-disciple spirit, safeguard the rights and dignity of people on the legal frontline, and strengthen the foundation of the Justice Group as it advances into its next 20 years.
