Gov't identifies 9 designated entities under the Significant Investments Act

The entities include ST Logistics and ST Engineering Marine.

The Minister for Trade and Industry (MTI) has identified the “designated entities” or companies crucial to Singapore’s national security under the Significant Investments Review Act 2024.

The designated entities include ST Logistics, Sembcorp Specialised Construction, ST Engineering Marine, ST Engineering Land Systems, ST Engineering Defence Aviation Services, ST Engineering Digital Systems, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific, Shell Singapore, and Singapore Refining Company Private Limited.

As designated entities, the nine companies must perform enhanced due diligence on potential investors, particularly those acquiring a stake of 12% or more.

Under the legislation, designated entities must also do a check on their potential investors’ associates.

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.
