Justice See Kee Oon (Judge of the Appellate Division of the High Court) graced the opening of the course and delivered a keynote address. Prior to the course, two distinguished local Senior Counsel conducted webinars on appellate practice. Also, during the course, another distinguished local Senior Counsel conducted a masterclass on effective engage with the bench.

On 12 February 2026, Minister for Home Affairs K. Shanmugam announced that Singapore will regulate the sale of blind boxes to mitigate gambling-related risks, particularly the potential for excessive spending amongst children and youth.

This broader policy concern arises from the growing normalisation of chance-based mechanisms in everyday consumer products. Blind boxes operate on this structure, where consumers pay without knowing what they will receive, and the prospect of obtaining a โ€œsecretโ€ item drives repeat purchases. These underlying mechanics closely resemble reward-based gambling models.

Managing Director Samuel Yuen analysed this issue through the lens of statutory interpretation on CNA 938 Rewind. He noted:

โ—พ How might the new regulations affect the way blind boxes are sold?

โ—พ What is a class licence? What obligations will licence holders likely have?

โ—พ Where should the balance lie between consumer choice, commercial practices, and safeguards against predatory behaviour?

The Ministry of Home Affairs, Singapore is expected to share further specifics of the blind box regulations in mid-2026 as they continue studying potential safeguards such as age-based restrictions and probability disclosures.

Last week, the team at Yuen Law gathered for our annual Kai Gong lunch, enjoying a festive spread and tossing a lively, prosperity-filled lohei.

Kai Gong is our way of reconnecting after the festive break, where we realign as a team and step into the year ahead with renewed momentum.

A particularly memorable part of the celebrations was the exchange of well-wishes with our management team. It was a simple and heartfelt way to offer encouragement and share good fortune for the year ahead. Those who came early and added a touch of creativity in their bainian greetings received special angbao blessings.

We concluded the day with a lucky draw, where everyone walked away with a prize, with Heather taking home the grand prize: a Skull Panda, Pop Mart collectible. ๐Ÿผ

The Yuen Law team sincerely wishes our clients, partners, and friends an abundant year filled with happiness, progress, and new opportunities!

Contracts are not mere formalities, they define risk, allocate responsibility, and protect the long-term value of your business relationships. Yet, many businesses only discover contractual gaps when disputes arise.

In collaboration with the Singapore Business Federation, we are pleased to convene a practical, business-focused session examining contractual risk management in wholesale trade and commercial arrangements.

Samuel Yuen, Managing Director and Co-Head of Yuen Lawโ€™s Corporate Practice, will explore common contractual pitfalls, critical legal considerations, and risk allocation strategies that organisations should address at the outset of their commercial relationships. Drawing on his experience advising on cross-border commercial transactions, he will share commercially grounded insights aimed at strengthening enforceability, mitigating exposure, and enhancing long-term business resilience.

In addition, SBF will also be sharing how businesses can optimise human capital strategies through the job skills integrator programme.

When a director dozes off at his post, a company can quickly become fertile ground for abuse. It is for this reason that the law creates a range of sanctions against directors who abdicate their duties by turning a blind eye to the affairs of their companies.

But the question remains:

Does it follow that a director who has โ€œfallen asleepโ€ be made to bear all losses suffered by the company during his slumber? The issue was considered in ๐˜Ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฉ ๐˜‘๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ท ๐˜๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜—๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ค ๐˜—๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ ๐˜—๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜“๐˜ต๐˜ฅ (๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฒ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ) [2025] ๐˜š๐˜Ž๐˜๐˜Š(๐˜ˆ) 7.

At first instance, the High Court ordered the director to pay approximately US$146 million in damages, for failing to oversee drawdowns under bank facilities that were premised on fraudulent cargo trade.

On appeal, The Appellate Division of the High Court course-corrected. It found that the first instance decision applied an overly broad standard of liability, one that risked unsettling directors and boards.

The Court observed, โ€œa director may be a sentinel, but he is not a forensic investigator or a sleuth, unless there are signs that would put him on an inquiry.โ€
