the Bar Council did released a press statement during CMCO in respect of clients' execution and amongst the issues raised was "signing via video conference", the verdict was to avoid it at all costs.

appointing a representative to sign is a no-go, if someone wants to sign a contract with A and you get B to sign on your behalf, the contract is void ab initio. This is also the main reason why lawyers NEED to attend personally to all type of execution.

Singapore is part of the Commonwealth therefore a notary public can attest/witness to the execution, get the lawyer to courier the documents to Singapore but be wary though, notary publics can levy exorbitant charges.

of course.
