                    ASIA PACIFIC WIRE & CABLE UPDATES STATUS
                   OF OTCBB LISTING AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION

      SINGAPORE - JULY 29, 2005 - As previously disclosed in a Current Report on
Form 6-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
on July 1, 2005, Asia Pacific Wire & Cable Corporation Limited (OTCBB: AWRCE)
(the "Company") was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004 with the SEC by June 30, 2005. The reasons for the
delay were the pendency of an internal investigation described more fully below,
and the lack of audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2004. Because of the failure to timely file the Form 20-F, the Company has
ceased to meet the eligibility requirements for quotation of its securities on
the OTCBB. Following the expiration of a 30 day grace period, on or about August
1, 2005 the Company's securities will be removed from quotation on the OTCBB.
Although the Company's securities may thereafter be quoted in the Pink Sheets,
there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy the informational
requirements for inclusion in the Pink Sheets. The Company is currently unable
to state when its 2004 Form 20-F will be filed with the SEC. The Company expects
to work diligently to complete its internal investigation and to complete the
other processes necessary in order for it to file its Form 20-F as promptly as
practicable. The Company believes that its securities will be eligible for
quotation on the OTCBB following such filing, provided that a market maker files
the necessary application with the NASD, and such application is cleared.

      As also disclosed in the July 1, 2005 Form 6-K, the Board of Directors of
the Company, including its audit committee, together with the Company's
management, is in the process of investigating matters regarding prior financial
and other activities involving the Company. Although the internal investigation
is continuing, the Company has received a report from an independent
investigator retained by the Company, which was considered by the Board of
Directors at a meeting held on July 23, 2005.

      The report identified instances of organizational and other weaknesses
relating to the management of the Company, significant deficiencies of internal
controls and procedures, transactions involving possible misconduct of current
or former directors, officers or employees of the Company, and inadequate or
improper documentation relating to various transactions. In addition, the report
identified various statements contained in the Company's Reports on Form 20-F
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and certain Reports on Form 6-K,
which may be incorrect. The Company is continuing to review the report and is
evaluating the materiality of the deficiencies and acts of possible misconduct
identified by the independent investigator. In addition, the Company is
considering whether prior disclosures made by the Company, or financial
statements filed by the Company, require amendment or restatement. In addition,
the Company is considering what remedial actions may be necessary to redress any
previous misconduct and to prevent recurrence of any such misconduct. The Board
of Directors expects to review further the issues raised by the report of the
independent investigator, and may determine to investigate additional matters
not within the scope of such report.

      The Company has also engaged a consulting firm to review and make
recommendations with respect to the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting. The principal tasks assigned to the consulting firm are to assist the
Company in achieving compliance in a timely manner with the requirements for
internal controls of financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
and to identify any deficiencies and recommend corrective action in order to
achieve compliance. The consulting firm has provided to the Company a draft


<PAGE>

report which identifies a significant number of gaps in internal controls. The
Company is currently reviewing the draft report, and expects to prepare an
implementation plan to address the matters identified in the draft report.

      The Company also announced that it and certain of its subsidiaries have
commenced a legal action in the High Court of the Republic of Singapore against
Chik Kai-Ming Aaron and Han Chung Yuan alleging, among other things, that Mr.
Han utilized Company funds for matters unrelated to Company business, and that
various fees and payments made to Messrs. Chik and Han were either unjustified
or not properly authorized. Mr. Chik is a former director and chief financial
officer of the Company, and also served the Company and its subsidiaries in
various other capacities. Mr. Chik resigned as a director of the Company on
September 24, 2004 and was suspended from all his duties as an officer of the
Company on December 31, 2004, and was terminated by the Company and all its
subsidiaries in June 2005. Mr. Han is a former director and chief operating
officer of the Company, and also served the Company and its subsidiaries in
other various capacities. Mr. Han resigned as a director of the Company on
September 24, 2004 and resigned from the Company and all of its subsidiaries in
January 2005. The Company and its subsidiaries are seeking monetary and other
relief against Mr. Chik and Mr. Han with respect to payments aggregating
approximately US$1.38 million. The case is currently pending.
