SINGAPORE (May 9): Woon Kok Yan, head of risk management of OCBC Securities, placed the blame squarely on trade representatives for failing to obtain formal third-party authorisation, when he took the stand in court on Day 13 of the penny stock manipulation trial of John Soh Chee Wen and Quah Su-Ling.
