A neighbouring company said Golden WHH had moved in only around November. A worker in that firm said she had not seen anyone turn up for a week.

Meanwhile, Cambodian national Chen Qingyuan was on Oct 12 removed as a director of Pinkee – a company that sells toys through live streaming on social media.

Chen, 33, faces four charges relating to possessing cash, bank accounts, cars and cryptocurrency worth more than $8 million said to represent benefits from criminal conduct.

Employees at the firm, which is located in Ubi, said they had never seen Chen in the office, adding that he was not involved in daily operations.

King Shine Capital, where Wang Qiujiao is the sole director, remains a shareholder in Pinkee. Wang was among the 24 individuals MinLaw named in its suspicious transactions list.

King Shine Capital is registered as a holding company in Singapore.

Affidavits from the Commercial Affairs Department produced in court showed that Wang is Chen’s girlfriend.

Her registered address is a condominium unit at New Futura, near Grange Road. According to The Business Times, Chen bought a unit at the development in 2018 for $10.2 million.

Chen, who was also a director of HiCloud Technology, a cloud solution and service company located in Ubi, was terminated the day after his arrest.

An employee at the firm said the move was in response to Chen’s arrest and subsequent court charge related to money laundering.
