    POSTAL and e-commerce group Singapore Post said on Tuesday that it had not properly disclosed a board director's interest in a 2014 acquisition that the group had agreed to pay up to £7 million (S$14.8 million) for.

    Citing "administrative oversight", SingPost noted in a Singapore Exchange (SGX) filing that it had stated in July last year that none of its directors had had any interest in SingPost's purchase of FS Mackenzie, a United Kingdom-based freight forwarder.
