I remember a few years ago MP Sitoh YiPing left the Lian Beng Board because he said the management, including Mr Ong Pang Aik and all his siblings paid themselves too much. The profit sharing incentives and categorisation, formulae are too generous. As you can see for yourself the remuneration for the senior management in the annual reports, the family is taking a lot.


One of the key points of the disagreement was that the Ong family's profit sharing was calculated on a "profit before tax" basis. However this did not account for minority interests which were significant. What this meant was that Lian Beng shareholders paid the family a bonus for profits that belonged to the minority interests in the JVs.

As an example, if there was a 50/50 JV, its profits were counted at 100% in profit before tax, and Lian Beng shareholders paid a bonus on that basis, but in fact half of the JV's profits belonged to the JV partner. Essentially, Lian Beng shareholders subsidized the JV partner by paying the partner's share of the profit-sharing bonus.

The Ong family was legally entitled to stick to the "profit before tax" basis, as that was how it was written in their compensation agreements. But once this issue was pointed out, the ethical thing to do would be to revise the compensation agreements so that profits from non-fully owned projects were pro-rated accordingly. AFAIK that has not happened.

As usual, YMMV.
