  "summary": "Former Cathay Cineplexes operator MM2 Asia and its subsidiary MM2 Entertainment have been ordered to partially settle outstanding CPF contributions totaling over S$260,000. MM2 Asia owes approximately S$22,000, while MM2 Entertainment owes about S$241,000. The orders come as MM2 Asia faces financial difficulties and undergoes restructuring, with the cinema chain having already entered creditors' voluntary liquidation. The court granted both companies a final adjournment, directing them to make the required partial payments by the next hearing on September 16.",
