City Developments (SGX:C09) admitted to moving away from its usual practices to hire two new directors, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
The development follows a struggle for power between the group's executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng and CEO Sherman Kwek that came to a head when the former moved to file a lawsuit against Sherman, the report said.
Kwek Beng had a disagreement with changes to the board and saw the move as an attempted coup, the report added.
Since then, the two have moved on from their differences, the report said.
