Hell hath no fury like a man scorned: CEO’s S$468,000 suit against ex fails after relationship sours
Judge says evidence clearly shows he was ‘smitten’ and had ‘showered her with expensive gifts’
A chief executive officer's attempt to reclaim more than S$468,000 in gifts he gave to his former girlfriend was dismissed by Singapore's High Court. Chander Agarwal, the CEO of TCI Express Limited, had showered Felicia Lee with expensive gifts during their romantic relationship, which lasted until December 2023. After discovering that Lee had been dating another man since April 2023, Agarwal sued her for the return of the gifts.
However, the judge found that the gifts were not loans, dismissing Agarwal's claims. The judge described Agarwal as "smitten" by Lee and said that the evidence clearly showed he had showered her with expensive gifts. Despite this, Agarwal continued to give her money, even after becoming aware of her infidelity. The judge noted that Agarwal's behavior was "embittered" and that his emotions were not unique to his gender.
