Cordlife retains Chen Xiaoling on board after arrest

Chen will oversee the internal investigation into company lapses in Singapore.

Cordlife director Chen Xiaoling was arrested for potential disclosure breaches related to irregular temperatures in a company cryogenic storage tank.

In a bourse filing, Cordlife said Chen has been released on bail and will continue serving the company's board.

Explaining the rationale for retaining Chen on the board, Cordlife said the non-independent, non-executive director will oversee and guide the investigation into lapses identified by the Ministry of Health in the company's Singapore operations.

Meanwhile, the company said its board is seeking additional independent directors to guide management on rectifying lapses, addressing corporate governance issues, leading risk management, and handling matters with regulators.

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.
