I have never intended to create any false trading or market rigging transactions and have always abided by the rule of law. I am deeply saddened by these charges," Wiluan added. In 2017, Wiluan and his son Richard James Wiluan were interviewed by the Commercial Affairs Department in its investigations into the potential contravention of Section 197 of the Securities and Futures Act. At the time, the older Wiluan posted police bail and was released after his interview while his son was released without requiring bail.

The company told SGX in April 2017 that:"Both have informed the board that they have and will continue to cooperate fully in the investigations, including granting access to all their electronic data, IT equipment and data storage devices from January 2015." KS Energy added that it has not been approached by the CAD regarding its investigations.THE STRAITS TIMESFor daily updates on weekdays and specially selected content for the weekend.
