SINGAPORE, Jan 5 (Reuters) - OKH Global Ltd  OKHG.SI  said 
Interpol has issued a "red notice" against its chief executive 
officer, Bon Ween Foong, which stated he was wanted by 
Indonesian authorities in connection with a charge of "providing 
false statement for official document". 
    Bon told OKH Global that the notice relates to a 2012 
commercial dispute between himself in a personal capacity and a 
former business partner in Indonesia in connection with a 
company called PT Alliancz Asia Pacific, the company said in a 
statement. 
    The Singapore-based real estate developer said it was not 
related to Alliancz Asia Pacific and was not involved in the 
dispute. 
     Bon told the company he denied the charge referred to in 
the red notice, which is issued when a person is wanted by 
national jurisdictions for prosecution or to serve a sentence 
based on an arrest warrant or court decision. 
    The international police organisation's website lists Bon on 
its wanted list. 
    The company and Bon did not have a comment beyond the 
statement, a company representative said. 
    Shares in OKH Global, valued by the market at about $300 
million, closed 1.5 percent higher on Tuesday.
