SINGAPORE: City Developments Limited (CDL) group chief executive Sherman Kwek and six board directors, called out by CDL executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng for an “attempted coup” to take control of the board, have appointed lawyers to represent them in court.

On Feb 26, court hearing information showed they had no legal representation, but by Feb 27, the records were updated to reflect their engagement of law firm Lee & Lee. This move escalates the court battle over control of the CDL board.
