Blumont's Molyneux drops investment plan amidst Singapore lawsuits

 

Molyneux tight-lipped on the matter.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Alexander Molyneux, chairman-designate of Blumont Group Ltd. (BLUM), one of three Singapore commodity stocks that erased $6.9 billion in value in October, dropped a plan to buy shares in the company because of lawsuits.

Molyneux won’t proceed with a plan to buy 135 million shares in Blumont, the Singapore-based company said today in a statement, without giving a reason for the decision to drop the investment. Blumont said Oct. 7 Molyneux will buy the stock from shareholders including Executive Chairman Neo Kim Hock.

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.
