Businessman David Yong has been denied his application to travel overseas to Seoul and Kuala Lumpur for the third time, after a judge found him to be a “serious flight risk”. On March 20, District Judge Brenda Tan said she had previously rejected his application on Feb 19, as the issue of his Cambodian passport remained unresolved. His first application was rejected in Aug 30, 2024. It was earlier revealed in court that Yong, 37, who is facing charges of falsifying accounts, possessed a Cambodian passport under the name “Duong Dara” that he claimed to have surrendered to the Cambodian authorities in June 2024. Judge Tan said she is again rejecting his application to leave jurisdiction, as there was still no official confirmation on the whereabouts of his Cambodian passport. Yong’s bail quantum, which had been set at $1 million, will also remain, as there have been no material changes that warrant a reduction, the judge added. Yong, the chief executive of Evergreen Group Holdings, had applied to visit Seoul and Malaysia from March 21 to April 2 for business. His lawyers also applied to reduce his bail amount.
