City Harvest's founder Kong Hee & 4 others arrested/charged

[WeiHan]

Davinder Singh, also an MP, is one of the top lawyer. Even more "top" than Edwin Tong.

concern2:

?? :scratchhead: Somewhat complicated to my simple mind...Will someone please enlighten me - Is there any conflict of interest here? An agency from gov against a person who is represented by a member of Parliament?

Edwin Tong is representing KH in private capacity as his lawyer.
No conflict with his MP role.

Hmm... She's the mastermind... Or the scapegoat? :?
Or ex-CHC?[/quote]In all probability still with CHC, though no longer as finance director.
Implicated since she was d finance chief of CHC when d alleged shenanigans occurred.
Also set-up or hv directorships in companies with links to CHC.

All five accused engaged SC.

It’s not cheap with court appearances.
Who is footing d bills? CHC?

Who is footing the bill? Taxpayers’ money for the government prosecutors, of course!

Anyone has idea about the price to hire a SC for a court case?
