Board is not held accountable based on whether they approved the deal or not.   If it goes to court, the key questions are whether the board has executed due diligence in the review process and whether the deal was accurately presented by management and executed.   Note that in Sincere' s case, the board was obviously split with a dissenting director resigning.

Firing the board is also not do-able as they also represent the majority shareholders.

Such a hugh investment would have been subjected to due  diligence and reviewed by Risk Committee and before makoing the investment subject to approval by the board of directors. 

Shouldn' t the whole board take full responsiblity and resigned?

In any normal company, a CEO who pushed and executed an initiative that resulted in $ billions of losses would have been fired long ago

yes. ceo is hired to lead the company. if all is well and good, ok and bonuses are disgustingly crazy. if losses are made (which in this case $2b), most ceos in commercial outfit would be given the sack and led to the door..except CDL..they have too many doors..

Serman is not just the CEO but also a board member.   Yes, the decision was approved by the board but Sherman, being the member who brought the deal to the table and actively pushing it as a " game changer" has to take responsibility for poor judgement.   Board meets once a quarter, they rely on management who runs the company on ongoing basis.

Reading the press release by KLB, the fight is far from over. Could Sherman just lie down and take all the blame for the loss of $1.9 billion in China? One of the directors said he should concentrate on recovering the loss. Surel,y he could not make such a decision on his own. The whole board would have been involved. He was merely the executioner of the board' s decision

Don' t support anyone.
Support splitting CDL into 2 and distribute the shares and / or  further " reit" the investment assets and distribute the units bring in professionals.
Opportune time for a restructuring of CDL.

Market watchers suggest  .....  could play a pivotal role in restructuring CDL, given that  Davos Investment Holdings  is CDL&rsquo s largest shareholder with  33.6% ownership. If a divide arises between  Kwek Leng Beng and Sherman Kwek, both of whom own shares in  Kwek Holdings, Davos could move to consolidate its position, potentially seeking a controlling stake of  50%. Analysts estimate that an additional  $10.8 billion  would be required to secure control, with a  20% control premium pushing the cost to $12.9 billion.

Even if chairman brought a bear into his company, if this bear helped.make profits, shareholders won't mind except they may avoid going for the agm with bear around. The bottom line is profits in a corporate world. Who profits stays.
