We also congratulate Joey Lim on recognising his need to focus on his personal wellbeing and health, and wish him all the best for a speedy recovery."

During this interim period Mr Joey Lim will continue to perform a reduced role, focussing on key strategic issues for the Company, and his salary will be reduced by 30%. This is in addition to the reduction of 33% that was implemented in March 2018.
