    A LONG-TIME former employee of Hin Leong Trading (HLT) agreed with the defence counsel of Lim Oon Kuin that the fallen oil tycoon was the “kind of boss who would take responsibility for anything that went wrong in the company, even if he was not the one involved”. But she added that that was no longer the case.

    “I thought so, but not any more,” replied HLT’s former manager of corporate affairs Serene Seng to the question posed by Senior Counsel Davinder Singh of Davinder Singh Chambers, during his cross-examination of her testimony at the State Court on Tuesday (May 2).

    Singh is representing OK Lim, as he is better known, who is on trial facing three cheating and forgery charges. The trial began on Apr 11.
