A businessman who gave a woman $2 million, allegedly as a gift if she bore him a daughter, will get back $1.12 million interest-free in 10 years from 2017.
The High Court, in judgment grounds last week, ruled that sums of $250,000 and $872,000 extended by Mr Toh Eng Tiah to his then mistress, Ms Angelina Jiang, were loans and not gifts.
