If Yes, Please provide full details | On his appointment to the board of a company listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on 2 January 2014, Mr. Wee had notified (the "Initial Notice") that listed company of his interest in shares in that listed company. Due to an inadvertent oversight, his direct interest in a further 10,000 shares in that listed company, which were purchased prior to his appointment to the board of that listed company, was omitted from the Initial Notice. Upon realising the omission on 14 January 2014, he immediately notified that listed company. As disclosure was not made in respect of all his interest in shares in that listed company within the prescribed time period, the Monetary Authority of Singapore on 6 February 2014 issued a supervisory warning to Mr. Wee to comply with Section 133 of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289 of Singapore) and other applicable laws and regulations at all times. |
