F&N to dissolve consultancy deal with chairman
Move to end agreement with Lee Hsien Yang to simplify matters; $1m fee to be paid as director's fees
By Lee Su Shyan
CONGLOMERATE Fraser & Neave (F&N) is dissolving a controversial $1 million-a- year consultancy agreement it inked with its chairman Lee Hsien Yang last year.

However, the consultancy fee will still be paid to Mr Lee - but it will be paid as director's fees instead.

That means it will be put to a vote by shareholders, according to F&N's annual report which was released yesterday.

Mr Lee joined the property, food & beverage and publishing conglomerate as its non-executive chairman last October, replacing Dr Michael Fam who was retiring.
