S'pore rules ex-Amcol leaders

SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): A Singapore court has found three
former directors of the failed Amcol Holdings Ltd. guilty of
failing their duties as directors in exercising reasonable
diligence in relation to a loan and remittances to an Indonesian
venture, the Straits Times said Saturday, citing
district court judge Koh Juat Jong.

The three are: Robin Kang Thian Leng, Chng Heng Tiu and Johnny
Kesuma. They were acquitted of seven other charges, and none was
disqualified from company directorships, the report said.

Trading in Amcol shares was halted July 1996 when it could not
pay its debts and the company was subsequently acquired by
Indonesia's Sinar Mas group, which renamed the company Asia Food
& Properties Ltd.
