Thio Shen Yi, SC and Nanthini Vijayakumar were mentioned in The Edge, in an article by Jovi Ho and Ruth Chai. The article was a report on a July 14 event organised by the Singapore Institute of Directors, where Shen Yi and Nanthini were invited to discuss the landmark ruling of the appellate court’s decision to clear former company director Dr Goh Jin Hian of liability for US$146 million (S$187 million). After outlining key aspects of the case and the lessons for boards, the panellists explored the judgement’s implications for directors’ legal duties, personal liability and corporate governance.

Moderated by Ng Wai King, senior partner at WongPartnership, the panel included Lily Low, independent director at Standard Chartered Bank and Tham Sai Choy, independent director at DBS. The event was attended by some 120 guests.
