HE is a renowned entrepreneur who founded Stikfas, a company that sold millions of award-winning plastic action figures.

But now, Ban Yinh Jheow, 42, is back in the spotlight for an entirely different reason.

He is one of three men charged in court yesterday with engaging the services of an underage prostitute.

Ban, who got married in 1997, allegedly engaged the girl’s services on three occasions.

Like Ban, the other two men charged yesterday are also married and face one charge each:

They are Arjunan Kulasegaram, 37, a company director, and Koh Hooi Hon, 43, a shareholder in a food and beverage company.
