SINGAPORE – The criminal trial of the former chief executive of Singapore-listed New Silkroutes Group, Goh Jin Hian, and former chief corporate officer Kelvyn Oo Cheong Kwan is set to start on the afternoon of Feb 4 at the State Courts.
In September 2023, Goh, Oo and two other men – former finance director William Teo Thiam Chuan and GTC Group sole director Huang Yiwen – were handed a total of 132 charges related to false trading offences.
GTC Group is a commercial market maker that New Silkroutes had engaged to help ensure there was enough liquidity in the markets.

On Aug 15, 2025, Huang was sentenced to jail for two years, three months and two weeks, after he pleaded guilty to 24 charges under the Securities and Futures Act, with another 88 charges taken into consideration for sentencing.
On Sept 16, 2024, Teo was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to manipulating New Silkroutes’ share prices to allow its shares to be used as consideration for corporate deals. Another 25 charges were taken into consideration.
According to sentencing documents, Teo played a “critical” role in the market-rigging scheme, which the prosecution alleged was masterminded by Goh.

 

[Boonsiong]

Goh, 56, the son of former prime minister Goh Chok Tong, was chief executive of New Silkroutes from 2015 to 2020. In 2020, he stepped down as non-independent and non-executive chairman of the group.

This is the answer to why the gct and 夫人 still got the mood to take photos of 花花草草.
Initially I thought they had intended to disown son or confident of winning the case.
