Khua Kian Keong was convicted of one count of voluntarily causing grievous hurt.
SINGAPORE - The chief executive of mainboard-listed company Vibrant Group was sentenced to 13 months’ jail on July 24 after he shoved an elderly man down a flight of stairs, following a dispute over money-related matters.
“They were effectively household names in the circle of local Chinese businessmen, among whom the accused also enjoyed a good reputation,” said DPP Poon. “There was also no document specifying that these were only loans their friendship surpassed such black-and-white documentation.”DPP Poon said: “His efforts to reclaim the monies or to get the victim to properly acknowledge the debt owed were futile.
Khua had made at least 16 attempts at communicating with Mr Tan between 2018 and 2021 in a bid to resolve the dispute, the court heard.
