Controversies

On 8 September 2012 it was reported that the prince was being sued by 9 investors because of a disagreement over the transfer of some 80 million shares in the Singapore-listed Elektromotive Group to those shareholders. It was reported that among those who were suing was Citi's Chief Singapore and Malaysia Economist, Kit Wei Zheng, Ms Eileen Ong and Mr Chan Kwai Sum. Eventually the Prince agreed to pay the full amount demanded by the investors of S$890,000 as well as legal costing amounting to $50,000.[1][2][3] The prince suggested that he had been used as a "figurehead" to gain the trust of investors. However, Elektromotive Group was struggling financially.[4]
