My Community Limited, a heritage organization known for guided tours in neighborhoods like Queenstown, has entered provisional liquidation. According to notices in the Government Gazette published on July 16, executive director and founder Kwek Li Yong declared the company could no longer continue business due to its liabilities. Alton Murray Chun-Wen Poon of Perun Consultants (Singapore) has been appointed as the provisional liquidator.
Financial Oversight and Creditor Meetings
The liquidation process began formally on July 3, when Kwek filed the declaration of insolvency. A virtual meeting for creditors is scheduled for July 24, where a full statement of the firm’s assets and liabilities will be presented. According to official notices, this session will allow creditors to review claims and consider the appointment of a Committee of Inspection under the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act.
Did you know?
My Community Limited was registered as a charity in May 2020, just months after its incorporation as a company limited by guarantee. It is closely linked to the heritage group My Community, which was established in 2010.
Outstanding CPF Contributions and Labor Claims
Before the liquidation filing, the company faced scrutiny regarding unpaid employee benefits. The Straits Times previously reported that former staff members filed claims against My Community Limited for unpaid Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions. In October, the CPF Board stated that it had recovered a portion of the arrears through enforcement efforts and was continuing to pursue the remaining balance.
Financial records for the year ending March 31, 2022, showed the company paid $58,278 in salaries and bonuses, with $8,785 allocated to CPF contributions. Currently, volunteers associated with the group have indicated that guided tours, a staple of their community work, ceased operations earlier this month.
Legal Developments Surrounding Leadership
The operational collapse follows legal challenges involving the company’s founder. Kwek Li Yong was arrested in September 2025 in connection with suspected forgery offences following a police report. While specific details regarding the nature of the allegations remain limited, the arrest coincides with the firm’s transition into voluntary winding up. Company records identify Kwek and Choo Lip Sin as the two directors responsible for the entity.
