Jason Holdings

Jason Holdings non-executive director Jason Sim's court hearing in relation to a summons issued by the Ministry of Manpower has been adjourned.

A report by EY released last year that found issues with Jason Holdings' operations has led to multiple claims being made against the company. Mr Sim is the former chief executive of the beleaguered flooring firm.
