Malaysia-listed Straits Inter Logistics Berhad (SIL), the parent of Tumpuan Megah Development Sdn Bhd (TMD), on Wednesday (28 April) said its solicitors had on Tuesday, 27 April filed an application to set aside the sealed Order dated 22 March 2021 and the undated Notice of Registration of Foreign Judgment it had received earlier this month.

The documents represent an attempt by ING Bank N.V and O.W. Bunker Far East (Singapore) Pte Ltd, creditors of the company, to enforce an English Judgment for approximately USD 937,000 (exact: USD 937,353.24) with interest and cost which TMD has disputed jurisdiction.

SIL said the application was made on the following grounds:

(a) the High Court of Justice, Business & Property Courts of England & Wales had no jurisdiction to grant an order against TMD;

(b) that the enforcement of the English High Court Judgment would be contrary to the public policy in Malaysia;

(d) TMD did not receive notice of proceedings in the English High Court.

According to SIL, ING and O.W. Bunker alleged that between 17 October 2014 and 29 October 2014, TMD and O.W. Bunker Singapore entered into contracts both made “orally or by yahoo messenger” whereby O.W. Bunker Singapore agreed to supply and/ or sell to TMD 423.73 million tonnes (mt) of gas oil at a price of USD 753 per mt for delivery at the port of Pasir Gudang and 794.915 MT of gas oil at a price of USD775.50 per mt for delivery at the port of Kuantan respectively.

Singapore police arrest eight over alleged illegal MGO transaction off Tuas

The Singapore Police Force (SPF) on Thursday (13 August) said it has arrested eight men, aged between 25 and 54, for their suspected involvement in an illegal transaction of Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

On 13 August 2026 at about 1.05am, officers from the Police Coast Guard (PCG) conducted a check on a Singapore-registered tugboat in the waters off Tuas and discovered that eight crew members were possibly involved in the illegal transaction of MGO.

“Preliminary investigations revealed that the crew members of the tugboats misappropriated MGO valued at about SGD 10,570 (USD 8,258), without their company’s knowledge,” SPF said in a statement.

“The MGO was sold illegally for their personal financial gain.”

The eight crew members will be charged in court on 14 August 2026 with the offence of theft by servant of property in possession of master under Section 381 of the Penal Code 1871 If convicted, they shall be punished with an imprisonment term that may extend to seven years and shall also be liable to fine.

“The Police take a serious view of illegal transaction of MGO in Singapore Territorial Waters and will continue to conduct enforcement and security checks to prevent, deter and detect such illicit activities in Singapore waters,” SPF added.
