Change of Vehicular Flow at Main Entrance on 9-11 December

The vehicular flow at the Club’s Main Entrance will be adjusted from 8am-8pm, 9-11 Dec 2019 (Mon-Wed). This is due to LTA’s final reinstatement works of its construction of the Thomson-East Coast Line’s Katong Park Station and its associated tunnels at the Club’s Main Entrance.

During this time, members who drive to the Club via the Main Entrance are to strictly follow the direction of the LTA traffic wardens, our security personnel and signs on-site. Members can only drop off and pick up passengers at the Main Lobby — absolutely no waiting and parking are allowed.

Katong Park Station is targeted for completion and opening in 2023.

Update on Private Trustee in Bankruptcy's (PTIB) Application to Court for Sale of Freddie Koh's Private Property

Dear members

1. We are pleased to inform that on 5 November 2019, the High Court has granted the PTIB’s application for sale of Freddie Koh’s (ex Club President and a bankrupt) private property which he co-owned with his wife though Freddie Koh’s wife had resisted the application.

2. The Court application was necessitated after Freddie Koh’s wife, the co-owner, was unable or refused to buy out Freddie Koh’s interest in the property or sell the property in the open market.

3. Freddie Koh’s share of the sale proceeds will be used to repay the balance judgment debt of $1.83 million due to the Club.

4. Freddie Koh’s wife has one month from 5 November 2019 to appeal to the Court of Appeal.

5. We will keep members informed of any further development.
