SINGAPORE – As the Covid-19 circuit breaker loomed ahead, a deputy chairman of the Singapore School Transport Association was asked to provide urgent transport services for foreign workers on behalf of the Manpower Ministry .

The non-profit association and its business arm, a company named SSTA, then sued Mr Ang for alleged losses of more than $200,000. They alleged that he had breached his fiduciary duties to them in connection to job assignments from the MOM and other government agencies. Arrangements were made between MOM and the company for buses to transport foreign workers at $450 per trip.

Sky Island was owned by Mr Fong Ling Pio, who was then secretary of the association’s exco. Sun-Gee was not a member of the association at the time. In 2022, the association and the company sued Mr Ang, alleging that his decision to surreptitiously award over-priced subcontracts to Sky Island and Sun-Gee have deprived the association of revenue.
