StanChart sued in Singapore for $2m

Thai businessman Chatchai Yenbamroong claims the bank gave him negligent and fraudulent investment information.

A Bloomberg report said, “Yenbamroong invested the money in a U.S. dollar callable note which the London-based bank had falsely misrepresented as a principal-protected conservative investment, the Thai businessman said in his lawsuit filed with the Singapore High Court on June 29.”

According to the claim, the businessman was “induced by his Standard Chartered banker to sign a blank account opening form.” Yenbamroong said the bank didn’t provide him with terms and conditions or ask him for an investor profile before he opened the account in 2009.

The case is scheduled to have its first closed hearing on 10 August 2011.

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.
