Family Feud at City Developments Sparks Boardroom Clash Over Director Appointments

The dispute, which sparked a briefly filed lawsuit in March, exposed divisions affecting management and shareholders.

Sherman acknowledged the crisis’s impact on CDL’s share price and outlined plans for over S$600 million in divestments in 2025, with potential listing of UK assets when markets stabilize.
