Bankrupts celebrate as they can get an annulment and wipe the slate clean

Like an unhappily married partner, new laws will allow Singaporean bankrupts who have their bankruptcy anulled to have any record of it expunged from the record.

The Insolvency and Public Trustee’s Office (IPTO) will no longer make available information on bankruptcy orders which have been annulled on its online information search service.

This will apply with immediate effect to all persons who have had the bankruptcy orders made against them annulled, whether by way of an order of the High Court or a certificate issued by the Official Assignee under section 123A or section 95A of the Bankruptcy Act (Cap. 20).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
