From the period of June 2014 to June 2015 when Mr Liau was the Senior Director of Corporate Development of Cordlife Group Limited. In June 2014, the Competition Commission of Singapore ("CCS") commenced an investigation on Cordlife in relation to its exclusive agreements with baby fair organisers and hospitals that potentially have the effect of limiting competition from other providers of cord blood bank services in Singapore. If these exclusive agreements were found to restrict competition in the cord blood bank industry, Cordlife would have infringed section 47 of the Competition Act (the prohibition against an abuse of a dominant position).
