From Law Gazette:
Aggravated cheating is punishable under section 420 of the Code with imprisonment for a term of up to 7 years, and the offender is also liable to fine. Imprisonment is mandatory. Hence, the best sentence that any accused can possibly expect under section 420 would be one day’s imprisonment coupled with a fine. This can happen only if there are no aggravating factors whatsoever and the mitigating factors are exceptional.
Anyone knows what happened to the CAD investigation on Stephen Tay many years back?

Was looking at the article. Sentencing is based on quantum involved in offence. e.g. $500k will get you 36-48 months in jail. $1m = ??!!
(I think that was under Yong Pung How era)
Interesting article.
I was wondering... can minority shareholders nominate a director? (to take care of the cash...)

can. If you can get 10% votes to do a requisition.
If not, you can write to the Nominating Committee to propose a nomination.
Up to them to decide.
I prefer they pay out the cash and I take care of it myself.
Wonder how fast is the trial? I dont mind attending.

But wouldn't it get blocked by ST?
Nomination Comm recommend directors. Shareholders vote on. So ST decides.
Don't know if ST will even show up for the coming AGM.
What a BS reason for the disposal when they just bought the UT a few months back!!
Someone making preparation. Get ready for some special div.

If u mean that the disposal is triggered by the charge, the dates don't match:

From what I see from some other case, a charge is not a surprise spring
the police on you. Know beforehand one.
If not, how EHL know to suspend trading on 30 may morning. Or how
Tay know where to go to get charged?
Charge is different from a raid.
