Philip Morris smokes its way to court win

The case was against a former employee who claimed she was wrongly fired after questioning alleged unlawful marketing activities.

A Bloomberg report noted, “Chan Miu Yin sued the Singapore unit of the world’s largest publicly traded tobacco company, accusing Philip Morris of trying to ‘silence her as she had highlighted several unlawful activities’ the firm was allegedly involved in, according to a Singapore High Court ruling.”

In his decision assistant registrar Shaun Leong said, “I found the claim to be inescapably and fundamentally flawed,” describing the claims as “frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of proceedings.”

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.
