Section 4

The Board shall have a common seal and such seal may from time to time be broken, changed, altered and made anew as to the Board seems fit, and, until a seal is provided under this section, a stamp bearing the inscription “Public Utilities Board, Singapore” may be used as the common seal.

Subject to subsection (3), all deeds, documents and other instruments requiring the seal of the Board shall be sealed with the common seal of the Board by the authority of the Board in the presence of the chief executive officer and of some other person duly authorised by the Board to act in that behalf and shall be signed by the chief executive officer and by such duly authorised person, and such signing shall be sufficient evidence that the common seal of the Board has been duly and properly affixed and that the seal is the lawful common seal of the Board.

All debentures, stock, bonds and other similar instruments issued by the Board under the provisions of this Act may be sealed with the common seal of the Board in the presence of the Director of Finance appointed under section 13 and any officer of the Board authorised by the Board in that behalf, who shall sign every such debenture, stock, bond or other similar instrument to which the common seal is affixed, and such signing shall be sufficient evidence that the common seal was duly and properly affixed and that the seal is the lawful seal of the Board.

The Board may by resolution or otherwise appoint an officer of the Board or any other agent either generally or in a particular case to execute or sign on behalf of the Board any agreement or other instrument not under seal in relation to any matter coming within the powers of the Board.
