Foreign Affairs Ministry suspends Chief of Protocol

Lim Cheng Hoe was removed from duties over allegations of improper claims for expenses incurred during overseas trips, says Bloomberg.

A Bloomberg report said Lim is being investigated by the Commercial Affairs Department and was suspended after the ministry received information about him.

The ministry was quoted as saying, “Lim has served MFA and Singapore very well for 38 years, and we are very sad that this has happened.”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
