  "account": "Singapura Heritage Food Hall, a foodcourt operator affiliated with restaurant group Lao Huo Tang, has been ordered by Singapore's High Court to undergo compulsory liquidation. The winding-up order was issued on October 23, five weeks after poultry supplier Toh Thye San Farm filed its application on September 17. Paul Tan of Nexia Solutions has been appointed as the liquidator to manage the winding-up process and oversee the company's affairs. All creditors of Singapura Heritage Food Hall are required to submit their proof of debt to the liquidator, enabling their claims to be evaluated during the liquidation procedure. The notice does not disclose the amount owed to Toh Thye San Farm nor the specific grounds for the winding-up order. A winding-up order places a company under compulsory liquidation, where a liquidator assumes control, identifies and realizes the assets, and distributes the available funds to creditors in accordance with the law. Singapura Heritage Food Hall, incorporated in September 2024, is wholly owned by Lao Huo Tang Investments, with Thomas Hong, founder and CEO of Lao Huo Tang Group, serving as its director and majority shareholder. The company operates two outlets in Downtown East, Pasir Ris, and SingPost Centre, Eunos, both open daily from 11am to 10pm.",
