Customers Lose Big as Wan Yang Shuts Down, Leaving Many in Shock
Singapore is reeling from a shocking revelation: Customers of Wan Yang Health Product and Foot Reflexology Centre have collectively lost a staggering sum of over $904,000 due to the company's unexpected closure. This sudden shutdown has left hundreds of customers in a state of distress, as they now face the reality of their unused prepaid packages becoming worthless.
As of December 2nd, the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) has received a flood of 439 complaints regarding Wan Yang's abrupt closure. The reported losses have skyrocketed from a mere $29,000 in late November, highlighting the severity of the situation. But here's where it gets controversial—the company's three entities, Wan Yang Holdings, Wan Yang Foot Reflexology Centre, and Wan Yang Health Product & Foot Reflexology Centre, have all ceased operations and are currently in the process of liquidation.
Mr. Melvin Yong, president of CASE, revealed that Wan Yang has proposed liquidators from RSM SG Corporate Advisory to manage the liquidation process. These liquidators are set to be appointed after the creditors' meeting on December 10th. CASE has proactively established a direct line of communication with the proposed liquidators to ensure affected consumers can efficiently resolve their complaints about unused prepaid packages.
And this is the part most people miss—customers who find themselves in this unfortunate situation can reach out to CASE for assistance. They can do so by calling the hotline at 6277-5100 or visiting the website www.case.org.sg. It's a challenging time for those affected, but CASE is committed to providing support and guidance throughout this process.
