The Group’s interest in an associate has been pledged to banks to secure credit facilities granted to the associate.

In 2008, as the Group had provided guarantees to the banks in respect of the bank loans taken up by the associate, the Group had accordingly taken up its share of the net liability of the associate to the extent of the Group’s legal obligation of S$139.6 million (Note 26). The bank loans were subsequently settled by the Group during the financial year.
