Hongwei’s directors asked to resign

As RMB120m or S$24m worth of ‘advance payments’ are put under question.

KPMG was appointed as special auditors to investigate into the affairs of the Company in relation to the issues pertaining to the cash and bank balances confirmation in its subsidiary company in China, namely Shuangli Polyester Co., Ltd.

It was discovered that the company’s bank statements were fabricated as RMB120m worth of ‘advance payments’ were actually loans to suppliers, a fact which was not previously disclosed.

The Audit Committee has decided that the company should immediately stop trading with Wanzhong as Mr. Lin Shengmin, the majority owner of Wanzhong, could be the father of Mr. Lin Jimiao, making transactions with the Company as interested party transactions.

According to the Committee’s statement, “In view of KPMG’s findings, the Audit Committee would like the directors namely, Mr. Lin Jimiao and Mr. Wu Gouxin who were implicated in the report to step down as directors. As Madam Zhuang XinXin is the spouse of Mr. Lin, she should also resign.”

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.
