HC Surgical says woman's claim that its CEO breached his duties is 'without merit'

Singapore

SERENE Tiong, a shareholder of HC Surgical Specialists (HCSS) and the defendant in a failed defamation lawsuit brought by the group's surgeon Julian Ong, claimed that HCSS chief executive officer and executive director Heah Sieu Min has breached his duties as a director.

This is in relation to the group's acquisition of an additional 19 per cent interest in Dr Ong's private practice late last year, according to an April 30 letter from Ong Ying Ping ESQ, solicitors for Ms Tiong, who holds 100 shares in HCSS.
