Parkway Holdings caught in control battle

Malaysia's Khazanah made a $835 million offer to lift its stake amidst plans of India's Fortis Healthcare to build a controlling stake in Singapore-based Parkway.

Sovereign wealth fund Khazanah’s offer represents the company’s intention to lift its stake from 23.5 percent to 51.5 percent in Asia’s biggest listed hospitals firm.

Fortis, which owns roughly 25 percent of Parkway, would have to disclose its offer decision by 30 July.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
