in u.s., if it's a crime that predates change in ownership, former owner of proprietorship or small business also kena. change in ownership does not shield any commercial crime committed from being prosecuted belatedly.

Is it limited to the Pte LTD or Corporation or to directors as well?

the equivalent of pte ltd in u.s. is llc or limited liability company. it's state administered depending on the laws of each state. it can comprise members which can be individuals, partnerships, corporations, foreign entities, and other llc's. in such a biz organization, the plaintiff in a civil suit can sue the biz organization instead of individual members. however, if any of the executive officers (ceo, coo, cto, cmo) commits a crime, state law enforcement and the ag will go after them based on whether it's a criminal or civil matter. there are statutes of limitations per state for some commercial crimes, but a criminal can't simply hide behind llc's to commit a crime. if employees sue for backpay, that's a civil suit. if the state has labor and wage laws, and business owners or llc executives break them, that's criminal.

Underpay is quite norm in Singapore.
I have a few friends said employer hold back a certain percentage of gross salary and promise will pay back when company or economy position improve.
It never happened.
Then when my friend quit the job and the accumulated hold amount was never returned.

This game is quite norm as the employer needed the employee continue to work even paying less.
So this drama goes on for months or years
Obviously this story was never report by news even if they are aware.
