In an unreported decision in HC/S 236/2022, the General Division of the Singapore High Court held the defendant directors not liable for breach of the duty not to compete with the plaintiff company by providing services to the plaintiff’s former customer. This was based in part on a critical finding of the Court that the directors had been effectively excluded from the plaintiff company by the time they had begun servicing the plaintiff’s former customer.

On March 20, Kong Chee Kian, who was referring to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in his comment, was sentenced to four months’ jail. He pleaded guilty to one charge of inciting violence electronically.
