Daily Briefing: One Tree Hill Gardens sold for $65m; The good and the bad with M1's Q1 results

And here's how AI can be a game-changer for the healthcare industry.

From PropertyGuru: One Tree Hill Gardens off Orchard Boulevard has been sold for $65m to a subsidiary of construction and property development company Lum Chang Group. The sale price translates to a land rate of approximately $1,664 psf, which is less than the over $72.8m.

From The Motley Fool Singapore: In mid-April, M1 released its 2017 first quarter results. There are both positive and negative takeaways from the company’s latest earnings that investors may want to learn about. Let’s take a look, starting with an overview of the numbers. Firstly, M1’s average revenue per user (ARPU) in the reporting quarter declined across all its different services when compared to the first quarter of 2016. The largest drop in percentage terms came from the prepaid mobile business, where the ARPU was down by 17.1%.

From CNBC: A.I. is poised to become a game changer for the healthcare sector, according to Steve Leonard, chief executive of SGInnovate, the government entity that supports entrepreneurs leading Singapore's innovation efforts. But convincing doctors, clinicians, nurses, patients and other stakeholders to place their trust in self-thinking machines could be tricky.

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.
