SINGAPORE – Two sisters were content to let “sleeping dogs lie” after they discovered that their brother had used funds from the family business for his own family’s expenses.
However, they decided to bring the matter to light after his son, on his behalf, decided to sue them and their late mother’s estate over debts owed by the business to a bank.
The High Court eventually dismissed the lawsuit against Ms Lee Gin Hong and Ms Lee Gim Moi, holding that their brother, Mr Lee Ker Min, ought to account for the money that he had withdrawn for his personal use.
According to the judgment dated July 30, Mr Lee’s father – Mr Lee Kim Eng – started Lee Huat Company as a sole proprietorship in 1958.
The business, which is a retailer for motorcycles, motor scooters and related accessories as well as a workshop, operates at a shophouse in Upper Bukit Timah Road.
In 1975, Mr Lee Ker Min was appointed a partner in the business. His mother, Madam Ng Ang Chum, was also registered as a partner after the elder Mr Lee died about six years later.
