And here's why Sembcorp Marine is still hurting.

From PropertyGuru: Under the Remaking Our Heartland (ROH) programme, residents of Pasir Ris can look forward to about 2,000 new HDB flats and a new mixed-use project at the town centre. Situated next to Pasir Ris Park, the public housing developments are expected to be launched in the next three to five years and will come with a wide range of amenities and multi-generational facilities. “For seamless connectivity, these will be integrated with a proposed Central Greenway with elevated cycling/pedestrian paths, providing direct connection from the town centre to Pasir Ris Park,” said HDB in a statement.

From CNBC via Yahoo!: Singapore 's top lender, DBS Group Holdings reported better than expected first quarter earnings even as banks in the city state continue grappling with a troubled oil and gas services sector.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
