From The Motley Fool Singapore: Rowsley Limited, a real estate company with businesses in design and engineering, real estate development and hospitality, made public that it plans to set foot into the healthcare sector. This will be done by purchasing a 100% stake of Thomson Medical Pte Ltd and a 70.36% stake of TMC Life Sciences Berhad, a company listed in Malaysia. These assets are currently owned by billionaire, Peter Lim. As at 16 March 2017, he owned close to 46% of Rowsley.

From GET.com via Yahoo!: Are you a business traveller who makes frequent trips to the Philippines on the country's national carrier? If your answer is yes, you would be happy to know that Philippine Airlines has begun reconfiguring its Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a new 3-class cabin layout that includes Premium Economy and Business Class. Previously, travellers only had the option of flying in Economy on Philippine Airlines' A330s. With the new cabin classes on board the carrier's A330 aircraft, travellers in Singapore who are always looking to fly more comfortably will have their wishes granted when September rolls around. In particular, there will be 24 Premium Economy seats that offer 38 inches of legroom and 18 Business Class seats that you can recline fully. The remaining 267 seats in the Economy cabin offer around 32 inches of legroom.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
