SINGAPORE – Lao Huo Tang F&B, a company associated with the Lao Huo Tang restaurant chain, owed $39,121 in Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions for June, July and August, the State Courts heard on Sept 29.
The company faces eight charges.
At the hearing, the prosecution said the company had paid a $1,600 composition amount but had not met an earlier direction to pay at least $22,000 towards its arrears.
A company representative asked for another four weeks to make payment.
When asked how much the company could pay during that period, the representative said $13,000.
The prosecution pointed out that $25,986 remained outstanding for June and July alone.
The court granted a final adjournment to Oct 27 and directed Lao Huo Tang F&B to pay $25,986 before the next mention.
Known for its herbal soups and Chinese dishes, Lao Huo Tang has outlets at Causeway Point, Sun Plaza, Jurong Point, Marina Square, The Star Vista and NEX.
Two other companies, Lao Huo Tang Group and Lao Huo Tang Restaurant, are due to appear in the same court on Oct 6.
