Otto Marine, Hoe Leong squabble over $1.23m debt

Otto Marine filed for the winding up of Hoe Leong.

Otto Marine is now exerting its full strength to force Hoe Leong to pay its obligation to the company. It has filed for the winding up of Hoe Leong over a S$1.23 million (US$0.92 million) outstanding debt.

Otto Marine revealed that, pursuant to section 254(1)(e) and 254(2) of the Companies Act (Cap. 50, 2006, Rev Ed), it made an application to Singapore’s High Court on 16 August 2016 to wind up Hoe Leong for not being a good payor.

Following a Supplemental Deed dated 3 July 2014 and 23 December 2014, Otto Marine had an accrued S$2.01 million (US$1.5 million) receivable from Hoe Leong.

“Despite numerous reminders and/or demands, Hoe Leong has managed to make payment towards S$0.78 million (US$0.58 million) of the debt. To date, the total sum outstanding against Hoe Leong remains at S$1.23 million (US$0.92 million),” Otto Marine stressed.

The winding up application is scheduled for hearing on 13 September 2016.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
