    HONG Leong Asia does not see the dispute between CDL’s executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng and his son Sherman Kwek affecting the company despite both groups being part of the same conglomerate.  

    On Thursday (Feb 27), Hong Leong Asia’s chief executive officer Stephen Ho said: “We do not see an impact in terms of Hong Leong Asia’s business.”

    “We have an independent board, we have professionals who are running here,” he added.
