Ezion Holdings Limited - Directorship (Independent Non-Executive) from 5 January 2016 to 9 April 2021.

Ezion Holdings Limited ("Ezion") announced on 28 January 2022 that its board of directors ("Ezion Board") was of the view that despite Ezion's past efforts to restructure the group and to search for an investor to recapitalise Ezion, Ezion faced difficulties in procuring investment proposals from the potential investors that are able to garner the support of its major creditors. As market conditions remained challenging and given Ezion's then financial position, the key operating subsidiaries of Ezion were no longer able to remain operationally viable as a going concern without the receipt of working capital. Accordingly, Ezion filed an application pursuant to section 125(1)(e) and section 125(1)(i) of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (No. 40 of 2018) on 28 January 2022 for Ezion to be placed into liquidation ("Winding Up Application").

On 18 February 2022, Ezion announced that the Court granted the Winding Up Application for Ezion to be placed into liquidation and for Messrs Ng Kian Kiat and Goh Wee Teck of RSM Corporate Advisory Pte Ltd to be appointed as joint and several liquidators.
