WongP's Simon Tay quits Hyflux board as independent director

Singapore

HYFLUX on Friday night announced that non-executive independent director Simon Tay has resigned voluntarily due to his "inability to fulfil his duties as an independent director".

Mr Tay, 59, is also a senior consultant at law firm WongPartnership (WongP). His resignation, effective last Friday, came after "unresolved differences in opinion" regarding WongP's decision to discharge itself from representing the water treatment firm, Hyflux said in a regulatory filing on Friday.
