KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission has charged a company director for failure to assist in an investigation and provide a statement.

The capital market regulator said on Tuesday Chok Chew Lan, 55, a director at Tsunami Capital Sdn Bhd, was charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.

The SC said Chok had failed to appear before an investigating officer of SC to be examined orally and to assist in an ongoing investigation.
