Restaurant operators Lao Huo Tang, Kenny Rogers in court over outstanding CPF contributions
All companies were given until Oct 27 to make payments towards their outstanding CPF contributions.
In a recent court hearing on September 29, restaurant operators Lao Huo Tang F&B and Kenny Rogers Roasters were summoned to address outstanding Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions. Lao Huo Tang F&B owed $39,121 in CPF contributions for the months of June, July, and August, having already paid a $1,600 composition amount but falling short of the required $22,000 payment.
They requested an additional four weeks to fulfill their obligation, offering $13,000 during that period. The court granted a final adjournment until October 27, demanding payment of $25,986 before the next mention. Kenny Rogers Roasters, part of Lao Huo Tang Group's portfolio, owed $25,294 in CPF contributions for the same period, having paid a $3,000 composition amount but not meeting the earlier directive to pay $13,000.
They informed the court that they could clear the remaining balance within four weeks. The judge set Oct 27 as the final adjournment. Kenny Rogers (Marina Square), another Kenny Rogers outlet, had paid $7,156 towards its CPF arrears for June to August, leaving $2,236 outstanding for August. The prosecution noted that the matter had been adjourned twice, with a $3,000 composition amount still unpaid.
The company sought an extension of four weeks for payment. Additionally, the court heard that Kenny Rogers (Marina Square) had previously missed a filing deadline in 2026, with a $2,000 composition sum remaining unpaid.
