    EMBROILED in a family feud, the parent company of property developer Lian Huat Group faces a court order to be wound up in 30 days unless its management team can reach a resolution.

    Kho Choon Keng (CK), executive chairman of Lian Huat Group and claimant of the case, had made a court application to wind up Lian Keng Enterprise (LKE), the ultimate holding company in the group.

    The two non-parties opposing this action are his step-siblings: group managing director Patrick Kho and non-executive director Patricia Kho.
