According to a Singapore Exchange (SGX) filing, Mr Ng sold 95,650 shares in the company on March 6, receiving S$868,799 from the transaction.

Shares in Creative hit a decade-high on March 5, reaching S$9.77 apiece in intraday trade, before closing at S$8.75.
This came on the back of bullish reports about its "3D audio" technology, which is expected to launch in the middle of this year.
