Hi, I am a UK citizen and I own 4% of a Singaporean Company, I was not paid by this company for many months. I have had to take them to an employment tribunal in the UK as they refuse to pay my wages. As retailation for this I have told that they will write off my shares and then pursue me for all costs. They have stated that the constitution allows us to do this within 28 days from the breach and without proof of breach. I'm not sure what if anything I can do about this? I have never been provided a copy of the shareholder agreeement or the constitution, so I am unsure how to get a hold of these documents. I have requested them but I am not holding my breathe that they will be provided to me. Some questions: Q1. How do I go about getting hold of a copy of the shareholders agreement and company consituation. I have requested them from the company but is a legal route to get hold of these documents? Q2. Is this type of clause legal in Signapore for a company to claim a breach without any proof? This seems plainly unfair? Q3. In addition to the unfair nature of taking the shares with no process, charging me without being given the chance to defend myself seems absurd can this be correct? Q4. Assuming there is nothing I can do I have two followups:- Q1. What sort of fee might this sort of thing attract ie. writing off shares? Q2. What are my options to complain about this? Thanks

On 17/12/2020, my colleague, Assistant Warehouse Manager, Brian, reported to me about a workplace harassment and misconduct towards a female warehouse staff. The misdemeanor was reported to be committed by one of the company drivers, Cong Jianwei. The harassment and misconduct by the driver was reported to have been happening frequently and the affected staff has lodged a report to the previous HR officer, Jessy. However, I was informed that no action was taken to resolve the issue then. In light of the concerns raised by the female worker, Brian investigated the matter by observing the interactions during work exchange at the warehouse on the 18/12/2020. I was then informed that there was a video footage of the incident. After reviewing the video, and assessing that indeed the driver did try to touch the female staff, I decided to speak to the driver on the matter. The driver returned back to the company after his delivery and met me in my office at around 1735hrs. During the meet-up, he raised about his previous leave matter dated 7/10/2019. He only submitted his documents for the leave on 17/12/2020 which was not in accordance to the company HR policies. I explained to him about this and also asked him on his cash card updates. The driver got agitated and seemingly aggressive and started hurling vulgarities at me. It was at this moment that Brian, Assistant Warehouse Manager arrived at my office and witnessed the incident. The driver then lunged at me in front of my office and that was when the driver assaulted me by kicking me hard on my right abdomen area. In self-defense, I blocked him before he kicked me again and accidentally knock off his spectacles. Upon witnessing the assault, Brian, Assistant Warehouse Manager got up to block and hold off the driver from advancing towards me again but the driver kept charging forward, with a murderous intent and continued hurling vulgarities at me. He even threatened me again by saying he will hit or attack me if he get any change.so I quickly went back to my office and rang up my CEO Alex, his sister and my husband to report about the assault. When my CEO and his sister arrived back at the office, they called the driver to the meeting room and while the driver walked pass my office, he continued to hurl vulgarities at me. Our CEO then verbally informed the driver to stop his aggression. A police report was later made by my husband for my safety and well-being. The police came to take down our statements. An ambulance was called and to took me to the hospital as I suffered severe pain over my abdomen area due to the assault.
My boss sister now want me remove the lodge in this report and inform her can't change and sound me that who say so... And now reject my bill when I call boss sister..and what should I do?

Hi, I have a query. I co-owned a flat in Woodlands with both my parents. They moved in to the flat in 2002 same period when I got enlisted for NS, in August. In 2005 after NS, I moved out of the house due to a conflict between me and my mother. Well, all my siblings chose to side her due to filial piety. Now 15 years later, they refused to sell the house. I have tried writing in to HDB many times, went down to meet HDB officers personally etc, but cannot. My elder brother informed me before that I can just go to HDB to remove my name (as informed by his so-called Housing agent friend). HDB said otherwise. Right now, they are not able to afford the house, so they ended up renting the place since 2018. All along they kept this information from me. I found out as i need to file for income tax annually. When I logged onto the HDB website, I indeed saw the rental records. What can I do to remove my name from the house? Does my parents have any legal obligation to inform me of the rental? Am I obliged to pay for the property tax when I am not staying there? I do not dare to go back there due to a few factors. 1. I was previously threatened by my elder brother that he will punch my face 2. A couple of times I went back, and got the door slammed onto my face by my mother. What should I do? What can I do?
Msophian, if you co-own the flat you have rights too. Get expert advice from our lawyers Subra or Thanuja in our lawyer list of LawApp.SG. Sign in and you can chat or call them for further advice. They specialize in HDB property cases. Be safe, do not let the situation worsen for you, get advice, it is worth it, in your case. Take care.
