Julius Baer names new South East Asia market heads
Julius Baer has named Shui Wei HO and Vi Sun YANG as market heads for South East Asia, with effect from 1 July 2025. They will replace Chin Lit YEE, who is retiring after almost 40 years in the banking sector. YEE has held various leadership roles within the bank's South East Asia market. Both HO and YANG will continue to operate out of Singapore and report directly to Jimmy LEE, region head Asia and member of the Global Wealth Management Committee. As South East Asia market heads, they will spearhead growth initiatives of the firm, strengthen client relationships, and guide teams throughout the region. HO and YANG, with approximately 30 years of wealth management experience, have been instrumental in expanding the business and enhancing client engagement across Asia. HO joined Julius Baer as Group Head for South East Asia in August 2022 and subsequently took on the role of market head for Thailand, Japan, and Asia Switzerland in January 2024, a position she will retain. YANG joined Julius Baer as the group head for South East Asia in July 2022, having previously led the Singapore and Indonesia markets at UBS for 14 years. LEE said: 'We are delighted to have Shui Wei and Vi Sun in dual leadership of our South East Asia franchise. Their leadership, extensive experience, and market insight will be instrumental as we expand our presence in this dynamic region. 'These appointments underscore Julius Baer's longstanding commitment to Singapore and the broader South East Asian market, crucial to our Asia strategy.' Last month, Switzerland's Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) fined Julius Baer over SFr4m ($4.76m) for compliance and anti-money laundering deficiencies related to its management of high-risk clients, according to the Financial Times.

But he is alleged to have refused the directions of his parole officer and left the halfway house. Police say Hopley was arrested after a Canada-wide warrant was issued, and he remains in custody. Hopley obtained statutory release after being sentenced last May to 29 months in jail, minus credit for time served, having pleaded guilty to breaching conditions of a long-term supervision order on two occasions. He previously completed a six-year prison term for the 2011 abduction of a three-year-old boy in southeastern B.C.

UK court blocks signing of Chagos Islands deal at last minute
UK-based Chagos Islanders protest over the planned ceding of sovereignty of the islands by Britain to Mauritius, outside of the Houses of Parliament, in London, Britain, October 7, 2024. REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo An undated file photo shows Diego Garcia, the largest island in the Chagos archipelago, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. REUTERS/HO/U.S. Navy LONDON - Britain was temporarily blocked from concluding a deal on the Chagos Islands with Mauritius on Thursday after an eleventh-hour injunction by a London High Court judge, postponing an agreement aimed at securing the future of the U.S.-UK Diego Garcia air base. Britain had been set to sign the multi-billion dollar deal to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius on Thursday, but in the early hours of the morning an injunction was granted by the High Court, forcing the government to abandon the announcement. The deal, the details of which were first announced in October, would allow Britain to retain control of the strategically important base on Diego Garcia, the largest island of the archipelago in the Indian Ocean, under a 99-year lease. The last-minute injunction was granted following action by Bernadette Dugasse and Bertrice Pompe, both British nationals who were born in Diego Garcia. They have criticised the deal for excluding Chagossians in any communication. The case is due to be considered at 1030 local time, according to the court order. The wider Chagossian diaspora, many of whom ended up living in Britain after being forcibly removed from the Indian Ocean archipelago more than 50 years ago, have said they cannot endorse an agreement they were not consulted on. Critics have also said the deal is a capitulation that plays into the hands of China, which has close trade ties with Mauritius. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was due to join a virtual signing ceremony with representatives from the Mauritian government, the Telegraph newspaper reported earlier. The British government said it would not comment on ongoing legal cases, but said the deal was the right thing to protect the British people and the country's national security. In 1965 Britain detached the Chagos Islands from Mauritius - a former colony that became independent three years later - to create the British Indian Ocean Territory. Under the planned 99-year agreement, Britain will pay Mauritius 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) to secure the future of Diego Garcia, U.S. State Department officials said before the injunction was granted. The financial component includes 3 billion pounds to be paid by Britain to Mauritius over the 99-year term of the agreement, with an option for a 50-year extension and Britain maintaining the right of first refusal thereafter. The base's capabilities are extensive and strategically crucial. Recent operations launched from Diego Garcia include bombing strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen (2024-2025), humanitarian aid deployments to Gaza, and further back, attacks against Taliban and al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan in 2001. U.S. President Donald Trump, who took office in November, indicated his backing for the deal in February after meeting Starmer in Washington, following some uncertainty over his administration's support. Trump's predecessor Joe Biden had backed the agreement. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.
