Tee International has immediately terminated ex-CEO Phua Chian Kin after he admitted to using company funds for personal use, according to an SGX filing. With this, Phua is required to resign as director of the company and the group.

Phua will continue to be available to assist the company if he is requested to do so. He has told the company’s board that he will continue to cooperate fully in the investigations, and will keep them updated on material developments of the investigations.

Phua has surrendered his travel documents to the CAD.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
