Singapore

PROMINENT Singapore businessman Ching Chiat Kwong is involved in a legal dispute with an Italian contractor over a luxury hotel, Palazzo Donà, that he is developing in Venice, Italy, as well as another hospitality project, Fonti Toscana Country Resort, in the Italian town of Certaldo.

For the Palazzo Donà, the dispute is over a remaining sum of about 230,000 euros (S$357,406) that has not been paid to its former contractor, Sama Global, despite the termination of the latter's contract in August 2018.
