Following the committee’s decision, YKA will now make a submission to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for the final registration approval for listing on the SZSE ChiNext Board.

“Although listing clearance from the committee has been obtained, there is no certainty that the proposed listing will proceed as the proposed listing is still subject to final registration approval by CSRC and prevailing market conditions, so shareholders and potential investors are accordingly advised to exercise caution when dealing with the securities of the company,” Wilmar said in an SGX filing.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
