Fishing in troubled waters


The Ng family, which traces its roots to Melaka but is now based in Hong Kong, is at odds with an array of international bankers seeking to recover some US$1.7bil (RM6.58bil) through exposure to China Fishery. At least one banker has lost his job. Others were reprimanded because of lapses in the due diligence process.
