A Singapore court ruling allowing administrators of bankrupt Indonesian textile maker PT Sri Rejeki Isman (Sritex) to pursue assets in the city-state may open a new route to recoveries for investors in other insolvent Indonesian firms with links to Singapore. The Singapore International Commercial Court published a landmark decision recognizing the bankruptcy of Sritex, once one of Indonesia's biggest garment makers. The court also permitted its administrators to secure and investigate the company's assets in Singapore.

This development could set a precedent for cross-border insolvency proceedings in the region.
