Kitchen Culture's ex-CEO claims defamation by directors
Add BT as a preferred sourceKITCHEN Culture's former chief executive Lim Wee Li has sent letters to two of the company's independent directors - William Teo and Ang Lian Kiat - alleging they made "defamatory statements" in a regulatory filing released by the company on Sunday.
The two letters of demand, seen by The Business Times (BT), claimed that portions of their statements in Kitchen Culture's response to Singapore Exchange's (SGX) notice of compliance were "defamatory, untrue and have impugned (Mr Lim's) character, credit, and integrity".
Kitchen Culture, which is in the business of supplying kitchen equipment, had earlier dismissed Mr Lim over "grave misconduct" affecting the company's business. The dismissal, it said, was in response to findings in an interim report from Baker Tilly Consultancy, which had uncovered potential breaches by officers and employees of the company. Certain failures of Mr Lim were also identified, the company said.
