Singapore
IN granting OCBC's application to place embattled KS Energy and its key unit under interim judicial management (IJM), High Court Justice Aedit Abdullah said there is a "very clear case of balance sheet insolvency" at the oil services group and that a JM order would seem highly likely, "short of a miracle".
He said in a brief grounds of decision seen by The Business Times (BT) on Friday: "While miracles can sometimes happen, even in commercial settings, some evidence would typically need to be provided of a 'white knight' on the verge of coming to the rescue."
