Singapore Myanmar Investco

Singapore Myanmar Investco, a firm with retail, auto services and logistics businesses in Myanmar, said yesterday it has been told of a firm's intent to complain to the State Courts of Singapore about possible breaches.

The complaint is about alleged disregard of rights of the firm known as GIG under a joint venture agreement and "failures to make timely disclosure of the allegations" by GIG.

It is related to Singapore Myanmar Investco selling its stake in Myanmar Infrastructure Group to Shining Star International Holdings.

GIG alleged that the firm "has not made accurate disclosure" about the sale price.

Singapore Myanmar Investco "intends to vigorously refute the complaint if GIG were to proceed with lodging the complaint".

It is expected to be completed by the second quarter of this year and will be funded internally.
