Innopac's outgoing CEO gets S$491,920 for unused leave dating back to 2008
INNOPAC Holdings paid its outgoing chairman and CEO Wong
Chin Yong just shy of S$492,000 in the quarter ended September 2018 for unused
leave dating back to 2008, disclosed the firm on Wednesday night, in response
to Singapore Exchange (SGX) queries on its financial results.
Mr Wong was paid S$491,920 for unused leave accumulated from
2008 to 2018. The firm said that the "significant amount due to the CEO
goes back to 2008 as he was unable to utilise all his leave entitlement as he
had been the only executive director of the company and group".
Mr Wong resigned last week, just about a month after the
firm was directed by the SGX to explain how it assessed businesses that the
firm had planned to sell at a sharp discount to Mr Wong.
According to Innopac's SGX filings then, Mr Wong plans to
step down on March 31, 2019.
The company's group financial controller, Priscilla Tan,
received S$5,815 for unused leave in the current year 2018. Other staff,
ranging from its accountant to administrative assistant, also received
compensation for unused leave from 2017.
