Rejected: Bankruptcy suit against 9 ministers

The High Court yesterday threw out a bankruptcy application filed by a family of three against Cabinet ministers Tan Chuan-Jin, Lim Swee Say, Ng Eng Hen, Gan Kim Yong, Khaw Boon Wan, Lim Hng Kiang, Masagos Zulkifli, Vivian Balakrishnan and Yaacob Ibrahim.

The Attorney-General's Chambers applied to strike out the application, arguing that it was frivolous and an abuse of the court process.

The trio had made various allegations against the ministers for alleged lapses in their ministries or statutory boards, and claimed that the ministers personally owed them money. The ministers did not press for costs and the court made no order for costs.
