Allied Tech CEO, CFO to assist in CAD probe

SINGAPORE - Allied Technologies' chief executive officer Clement Leow Wee Kia and chief financial officer Ong Lizhen will be"providing assistance" to the Commercial Affairs Department on an investigation, the company said on Wednesday night .

The Catalist-listed precision engineering firm had made headlines in May last year when news broke that $33 million of its funds parked with JLC Advisors had gone missing while JLC managing partner Jeffrey Ong's whereabouts were unknown. That same month, CAD seized documents from Allied Tech relating to the company and three of its subsidiaries as well as the JLC escrow account. CAD also interviewed Allied Tech's executive director Kenneth Low Si Ren.Allied Tech added that it intends to cooperate fully with CAD on the investigation and will provide further updates to shareholders on subsequent material developments.

Separately, Ong from JLC has been slapped with 26 charges, having been arraigned last October on four fresh counts, including the most serious criminal breach of trust offence. Trading in Allied Tech shares has been suspended since early May, amid concerns raised by auditor Ernst & Young over the company's financials.
