SINGAPORE: Despite knowing that he stood to gain S$1.5 million from the owner of a medical business if the latter was acquired by his company, a director did not disclose this conflict of interest to the board.

Court documents did not state how the case came to light, except that the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau became involved.At trial, the other directors testified that they were unaware that Chong would be receiving S$1.5 million from Dr Lim in connection with the acquisition.
