SINGAPORE’S former oil tycoon Lim Oon Kuin of the failed Hin Leong empire did not have or use a computer in his office and relied on his staff to bring hard copy printouts on the firm’s cash flow position to him to base his operational decisions on, said a long-time employee of the group’s trading arm.
“Usually, every one to two weeks I will print the cash flow (document) and give it to Mr Lim and tell him what has been updated. I have to print it (out) as he does not have a computer and does not use a computer,” said Hin Leong Trading’s (HLT) accounts executive Katherine Ong.
During the 17th day of the hearing on Thursday (May 25), the prosecution attempted to establish the tasks and processes involved in the accounts department where Ong worked for more than two decades. Within the accounts department at Hin Leong, Ong said there was a “small team” of five including her, that worked under a unit called the “bankers department”.
