was insolvent and unable to pay its debts. Wei did not object to the application
and a winding up order was granted on 12 June 2020 in HC/CWU 130/2020.

case presents the issues of whether an application can be made or continued and
whether reliefs can be granted under s 216 where the Company is in liquidation.
