DISTRII Singapore, which once operated one of Singapore’s largest co-working spaces, is suing its former chief executive officer for failing to act in good faith and breaching her fiduciary duties.
Court documents say that Distrii, which failed to pay City Developments Ltd (CDL) over S$2 million in rent (as at February 2024) for its 62,000 square feet of commercial space in Republic Plaza, vacated the premises in March.
Distrii alleged that its inability to pay rent was due to actions taken either by its former CEO Hu Yan or its former employee, Yap Chie Lan.
