A CEO has failed in his bid to sue his ex-girlfriend in Singapore’s high court for almost $370,000 (SGD $468,090) after breaking up with her, claiming she owed him for luxury gifts he lavished on her during their relationship.
Chander Agarwal showered Felicia Lee with Hermes, Dior and Prada items and splashed out tens of thousands of dollars on first class flight tickets.
Among other things, he also said he paid big sums of money for her life insurance premiums, a university program and Lee’s personal expenses on his American Express credit card, court documents showed.
Agarwal also spent thousands on a feng shui master to “spiritually harmonise” Lee’s flat. He argued in court that this “must have been a loan” since he is Indian and does not believe in the ancient practice.
Senior Judge Lee Seiu Kin on Thursday dismissed the case, saying in a written judgement that the money spent was on gifts and can’t be considered loans.
