A Singaporean man has lost a legal battle to reclaim S$468,000 he spent on his former girlfriend during their relationship. The Singapore High Court ruled that the money was given "willingly" by Chander Agarwal, a logistics company CEO, to Felicia Lee, a former flight attendant, and that there was no legal grounds to recover it. The couple's relationship, which lasted from September 2022 to December 2023, ended when Agarwal suspected Lee of having an affair. Agarwal had filed the lawsuit in March 2024, seeking to recover the funds he had spent on Lee, including credit card charges, travel expenses, and other personal expenses. Agarwal claimed that Lee had asked for various "interest-free loans," including S$206,000 in credit card charges, S$129,000 for overseas trips, and other expenses. However, Lee argued that these were not loans but gifts given out of love and affection. The court found that Agarwal had not provided sufficient documentary evidence to support his claim, such as proof that Lee had acknowledged receiving these funds as loans. The judge noted that Agarwal, who is described as having considerable financial means and expensive tastes, had given Lee lavish gifts during their relationship. The judge highlighted that Lee, who was not in the same financial bracket as Agarwal, had expressed both awe and occasional reluctance when Agarwal suggested expensive gifts. The judge concluded his written judgment with a quote from English playwright William Congreve: "Heav'n has no rage, like love to hatred turn'd, nor hell a fury, like a woman scorn'd." He added, "This case shows that such emotion is not the sole province of one gender." In early 2023, another Singaporean man, K Kawshigan, had filed two lawsuits against Nora Tan, claiming emotional trauma and reputational damage after she rejected his romantic advances. The Singapore courts dismissed his suits, and Tan later counter-sued Kawshigan, seeking to recover expenses she incurred while defending herself from his alleged harassment.
