Despite knowing that True Group (Malaysia) faced impending closure, Patrick John Wee Ewe Seng had let the group continue to sell long-term memberships.

According to its website, True Group currently has over 25 clubs across its brands True Fitness, True Yoga, Yoga Edition, TFX and Urban Den, in Singapore and Taiwan.

He also conducted pre-sales for a new club, selling 50 memberships before May 2017. This club did not open and True Group closed down a month later.Wee also misled members of True Group in May 2017 by putting up a notice that the Subang Club would be closed for renovations. In fact, the club was closed as the court bailiff was taking inventory and equipment under a writ of seizure. The staff were not informed about the closure until a day prior.

“The defendant’s conduct suggests that he was more concerned with evading responsibility as a director of True Group and True Group , rather than dealing with the consequences of the closures on staff and members,” said the judge.
