Peter Tham Wing Fai (born in 1948[1]) is a Singaporean stockbroker and the director of Pan-Electric Industries.
A failure by him to observe a forward contract agreement that he negotiated with Tan Koon Swan was responsible for the company's collapse in 1985.
[3] He flew to Tokyo, from where he was extradited back to Singapore, immediately arrested,[4] and charged with 26 counts of helping Tan Kok Liang to make "fictitious sharetrading transactions.
"[5] He was eventually sentenced to a total of 10 years in jail—eight in 1986 for forging Pan-Electric share certificates and two in 1988 for criminal breach of trust.
[9] Although his wife later withdrew the private summons charge of assault,[10] he was still being investigated for hiding personal assets and in May 2000, he was charged with hiding about S$1.7 million in cash, three cars and other items from the authorities.
