Case #120001 - S'pore Businessman Jailed in Indonesia - Leslie Ang Kok Wee

[cunnosieur]

The case

IN 2007, Mr Leslie Ang sued Capitol Gravure Industries (CGI), which sent him to Indonesia as commissioner of its subsidiary.

He sought about $2 million for his six months in jail, including his legal fees, loss of income and losses suffered by his own company. Mr Ang, represented by lawyer Tan Liam Beng, said CGI had agreed to fully indemnify him for damages, costs and expenses incurred during his stint in jail.

But CGI said the indemnity does not cover losses or damages from criminal proceedings, brought about by his own wrongdoing. After 11 days of trial, CGI agreed to pay Mr Ang $400,000.

General manager Jack Lee said it made 'commercial sense' to settle.

Mr Ang said: 'I'm totally happy. I've cleared my name.'

Man sues company over jail time

A SINGAPORE businessman jailed six months in Indonesia for embezzlement has gone to the High Court here to get more than $2 million in compensation from the company that sent him to work there.

Mr Leslie Ang Kok Wee, 38, was appointed by steel cylinder manufacturer Capitol Gravure Industries as a 'representative' tasked with safeguarding its interest in an Indonesian subsidiary.

He described himself in court on Monday as a 'debt recoverer', appointed in July 2002 by the company as a commissioner of its subsidiary in Indonesia.

While there in 2006, he was arrested and sentenced to two years and eight months' jail on two charges of siphoning $70,000 from the company.

He was acquitted on appeal, but had, by then, spent six months behind bars. He claimed that he had to sell an apartment and his two cars here to raise $380,000 in funds for his defence.

Now, he wants Capitol Gravure Industries to pay him $1.98 million in losses he suffered as a result of his imprisonment, as well as US$41,000 in legal fees.

Mr Ang, who has a law degree and a masters degree in banking and finance, contends that the company had agreed to fully indemnify him for damages, costs and expenses incurred during his stint.
