Former Pokka International CEO and 2 Kimly directors charged over disclosure offences

SINGAPORE: The former chief executive of Pokka International and two directors of coffee shop operator Kimly were charged in court on Friday (Nov 12) over disclosure offences, the police said in a news release.

Former Pokka International CEO Ong Eng Sing, 46, was charged with three counts of failing to disclose his indirect interest in a transaction with Pokka International.

Chia Cher Khiang and Lim Hee Kiat were each charged with one count of failing to notify the Singapore Exchange (SGX) of Kimly's acquisition of drinks company Asian Story Corporation (ASC), which was announced on Jul 2, 2018.

It was alleged that the acquisition was an interested person transaction, which should have been disclosed under the SGX Catalist Rules but was not, said the police.

Lim, who was the executive chairman of Kimly, was further charged with one count of failing to disclose his indirect interest in the acquisition.

According to court documents, Lim had partial beneficial ownership of ASC.

Chia was offered S$50,000 bail while Lim was offered S$70,000 bail.

It was alleged that Ong, who was a director in Pokka International and Pokka Corporation (Singapore), had partial beneficial ownership of ASC.

Ong had allegedly failed to disclose his interest to Pokka International and Pokka Corporation on three occasions when ASC entered into transactions with the two Pokka entities.

According to court documents, he had failed to disclose his interest sometime in 2010 during a distribution agreement between Pokka International and ASC.

Ong had also allegedly failed to disclose his interest during a manufacturing agreement between the two companies dated Aug 1, 2016.

Sometime around November to December 2017, the two companies agreed on a distribution framework, where ASC would supply Etika products to Pokka International. The latter would distribute the products in the general trade channel in Singapore.

The former CEO allegedly failed to disclose that ASC was a company he had partial beneficial ownership of, according to court documents.

For failing to disclose the acquisition was an interested person transaction, they may be jailed up to seven years, fined up to S$250,000, or both.

For failing to disclose their interest with the company, offenders may face a jail term of up to 12 months or a fine of up to S$5,000.

BREAKING: Vivian Lai's hubby tio charged in court!

I am more curious as to whether they would eventually divorce.

Self victimising now, are we? Resorting to using your children as a shield in this shitstorm?

Maybe your husband should’ve thought of that before he scammed Pokka as alleged by them. Or before you started bragging about your 8 million dollar property.

'I don't want my kids to be afraid to go home': Vivian Lai on husband's lawsuit

Vivian Lai has finally broken her silence since her husband Alain Ong was removed from his post at Pokka in 2018.

Speaking to local media, she revealed that media attention over the incident has disrupted her family life.

The sight of reporters stationed outside her house has started making her children afraid to return home, the actress-host said.

"Our home should be a warm place where our kids can feel at ease."

Although Vivian admitted that she is under immense pressure, she will carry on because she has to be strong for her family.

"No matter what happens, our family of four will stay united and weather this difficult period," the tired-looking host said as she choked up.

When the news first broke, the 43-year-old shared that she was shocked because she never thought something like this would happen to her.

However, she did not comment on the case, only saying that "the truth will reveal itself in time."

Her emotional response came following recent reports of Pokka suing Ong — who was formerly deputy group CEO of Pokka Corporation (Singapore) and CEO of Pokka International — and accusing him of being part of a conspiracy that caused the beverage company to suffer at least $10 million in losses.

Ong has since issued a statement through his lawyer, saying that he is simply assisting with investigations and that he's not the person being investigated.

Shortly after he was removed from his post last September, Vivian ended a 10-year-long stint as Pokka's spokesperson.

Big cock lover next to be invited for a coffee drinking session?

Appears Kimly has resumed trading on SGX, though its current stock price is already down by more than 10% compared to pre-suspension numbers.......

Erm..... she is from Taiwan, since she is now in Taipei, perhaps could be 回娘家...

Question though is, will she return to SG in the foreseeable future given that her hubby is presently knee deep in shit? :P

Why not just divorce his ass now; she could get half of what's left which might still be worth something, but probably not for long I reckon..... eventually all his assets might be frozen if found guilty?

Meanwhile, Vivian Lai is holidaying abroad without a care in the world.......

Uh oh.....
