Court orders CEO to pay up $1.8m debt owed to bank

THE chief executive of an investment holding company who is locked in multi-million dollar lawsuits, has been ordered by the High Court to pay up a $1.83 million debt owed to a bank.

Ms Quah Su-ling, executive director of Ipco International for more than a decade, failed in her appeal to rescind the summary judgment against her sought by the Bank of East Asia for monies owed from a share margin facility. Ms Quah had also appealed to put the proceedings on hold.

Ms Quah's woes began last year with the plunge in the share prices of three listed companies: Asiasons Capital, LionGold Corp and Blumont Group.

She had invested up to $120 million in their shares.

She claimed Goldman Sachs gave her 1 1/2 hours last October to repay $61 million, which is the margin call on her trades in the companies.
