The US Treasury sanctioned Khoon Group for links to Chen Zhi, a tycoon accused of leading a major cybercrime organisation in South-east Asia.

Khoon Group denies involvement, stating the sanctions will not have adverse effects, while its website went offline.

Chen Zhi acquired 55% of Khoon Group in 2023, making him the controlling shareholder in the Hong Kong-listed firm.


So they deny involvement as chen zhi is running d biz as major shareholder?

In a 2024 Facebook post, the group said some of the projects it was involved in – including those in Sengkang, Tampines and Jurong West – received recognition at the HDB Awards 2024.
When presented with the findings, HDB said: “HDB does not have any direct contractual dealings with Khoon Group Limited or its subsidiaries at present. “In fact, our last direct contractual dealing with Khoon Engineering Contractor Pte Ltd was more than two decades ago, and it was for electrical works undertaken at a housing development.”
Someone is lying here...

Likely semantics here. Keyword "direct dealings". So it could be the case as HDB said - direct dealings was truly 2 decades ago.

Then when it comes to direct with Khoon and subsidiaries, the reply is "presently don't have".

So in 2024 it could have been their subsidiaries.

The mud is so deep that...

Especially if it actually implicates the whiter-than-white.

God forbid one day everything comes to light lol. I'd definitely snag a front row seat if and when it happens in the future.

An electrical contractor is unlikely to be awarded a HDB project directly.

Probably working with a main contractor.

hdb only work with contractors, sub-contractors, sub-sub-contractors... not direct dealing is true.
