The criminal trial for former leaders of now-defunct Hyflux has kicked off — almost three years after they were first charged. The trial started with former CEO Olivia Lum's lawyer grilling the lead investigation officer. Lum and five others, including the Hyflux's former chief financial officer and four independent directors, are accused of omitting information about the Tuaspring project. This trial is expected to last several months, with court dates set until January next year. Jeraldine
