The luxurious properties with private yacht berths and beachfront locations were among assets seized in a massive probe led by the Commercial Affairs Department.\n\nSu Haijin, a Chinese national, is the registered owner of the 18,740 sq ft vacant land at 143 and 145 Cove Drive. The plot, which previously housed two bungalows, is owned by him according to SLA records.
