Ex-NKF Chairman had fled

It was only a matter of hours, but it was enough for Richard Yong to slip out of the grasp of the authorities and the National Kidney Foundation. The former NKF chairman had fled the country.

The Official Assignee’s (OA) office, which is responsible for the affairs of bankrupts, said that they had immediately informed the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) to blacklist Yong on the morning of May 17, the next day after he was declared a bankrupt. But they were inform the next day that Yong had left Singapore just after midnight, in the early hours of May 17.

He was last seen on May 21 in Kuala Lumpur. But they do not have precise information on Yong’s current whereabouts. To date he's still uncontactable.
