Upon realising the omission on 14 January 2014, he immediately notified that listed company. As disclosure was not made in respect of all his interest in shares in that listed company within the prescribed time period, the Monetary Authority of Singapore on 6 February 2014 issued a supervisory warning to Mr Wee to comply with Section 133 of the Securities and Futures Act 2001 and other applicable laws and regulations at all times.
