SGX reprimands Chinese firm for breaching rules

This is said to be the latest in a series of scandals to hit Chinese companies listed on overseas exchanges.

A Reuters report said Singapore Exchange has reprimanded Chinese multimedia firm KXD Digital Entertainment and its former chairman and CEO for breaching a string of listing rules.

“SGX said breaches uncovered by auditor Stone Forest Corporate Advisory included KXD failing to announce that it had ceased all of its business operations and turned into a cash company. It had also not disclosed that Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. had filed and won by default a number of lawsuits against them in 2007-2008,” said the report.

Liu Fusheng, chairman and CEO of KXD since its listing on the SGX in 2003, resigned from his positions in 2010.

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.
