SINGAPORE — The mood in the hotel ballroom turned awkward when Catherine Wu walked in. At a major function organised by property group City Developments Limited (CDL) in 2024 was Cecilia Kwek, wife of Kwek Leng Beng, the octogenarian executive chairman of CDL with whom Wu is said to have «a long relationship».  Those close to the Kweks watched uncomfortably as Wu, 65, went around greeting and shaking hands with guests and dignitaries, including government officials.

Wu has been thrown into the spotlight this week in a high-profile boardroom tussle at CDL between the father and the elder son. Sherman Kwek, the son who is CDL's chief executive officer, said Wu is the reason for the rift between his father and CDL's majority board of directors, including him.
