x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	SINGAPORE - A senior SMRT executive has defected to rival transport group ComfortDelGro. Mr Ho Foo Sing, 57, head of SMRT's Circle Line, has joined ComfortDelGro Transit - the transport giant's rail tendering and operations subsidiary. He will head the bidding team in this subsidiary, signalling ComfortDelGro's ambition to clinch more overseas rail operating contracts. According to his LinkedIn profile, Mr Ho joined SMRT as a director in December 2017 after a 34-year career in the Republic of Singapore Air Force, where he attained the rank of colonel. He was appointed head of Circle Line in November 2019. ComfortDelGro clinched a $1.13 billion contract to operate rail services in Auckland, New Zealand, making it the first Singapore company to secure such a contract overseas. The group has also been shortlisted in two other rail tenders - one in Paris, and another in Sydney. In a separate news release on Monday (Aug 29), ComfortDelGro deputy chief executive Cheng Siak Kian said: "In the past two years, even as we were busy tackling the many challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been regrouping and looking at opportunities for growth. "Significantly, we have started bidding for international rail franchises - something we had never done before." In the release, ComfortDelGro said it has hired Mr Damian Rowbotham as chief executive of Europe, a newly created role. Mr Rowbotham, 53, will supervise the group's bus, coach, taxi and private-hire operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland, "as well as look at new investment and tender opportunities in the continent", ComfortDelGro added. Mr Rowbotham was a senior executive at Scottish transport group Stagecoach Group. Meanwhile, Mr Ho's position in Temasek-owned SMRT has been taken over by Mr Ng Chan Cheok, a deputy group director of rail asset, operations and maintenance at the Land Transport Authority (LTA). Before joining the LTA, Mr Ng worked at the Singapore Armed Forces and held the rank of military expert 7 - equivalent to a colonel. SMRT also has a new chief human resource head. Ms Lee Yem Choo, 53, a former SAF colonel who joined the transport operator in 2018, will replace Ms Tan Ai Ling from Sept 1, according to an internal announcement. Ms Tan, a former veteran at telco Starhub, had joined SMRT to head its HR department after a slew of resignations in 2019.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	SINGAPORE (THE BUSINESS TIMES) - Transport operator ComfortDelGro is rehiring its former executive Damian Rowbotham as the group's chief executive officer for Europe to supervise its bus, coach, taxi and private-hire operations in Britain and Ireland with effect from Sept 1, 2022. Mr Rowbotham joins ComfortDelGro from Stagecoach Group, where he presently serves as the British public transport provider's finance and commercial director for London. Prior to joining Stagecoach, Mr Rowbotham held the position of group finance director for Britain and Ireland at ComfortDelGro from 1999 to 2012. He was also chief operating officer of the group's Australian subsidiary Cabcharge from 2014 to 2019, according to his LinkedIn profile. In a statement on Monday (Aug 29), ComfortDelGro said it was also adding on experts in rail tendering and operations under wholly owned subsidiary ComfortDelGro Transit - including the appointment of new heads of rail operations, maintenance and customer experience. It added that the new senior hires come as part of "an aggressive expansion strategy" to participate in more international tenders with a targeted emphasis on Europe. Mr Cheng Siak Kian, group deputy chief executive officer of ComfortDelGro, highlighted the company's recent efforts to bid for international rail franchises and said it has "seen some success" with the contract it won last year to operate rail services in Auckland, New Zealand. Mr Cheng says he remains hopeful for ongoing bids for rail tenders in Sydney and Paris, where the group has been shortlisted. "As we participate in more of such tenders, we have to grow our bid team, which will also be instrumental in the transition should we win," he added.

I think differently Conman      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 17:57) Posted: Selling properties in London during a property down time to pay dividends didnt look like a wise move. Were there good rrasons to require such payment? This affected the company's NAV and caused the shares to drop even more. josephyeo      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 16:51) Posted: What i got was 4.26 cts - an interim plus a special div. The money is already in my bank account.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The huge dumping will be by the retailers when BBs lift their hands. Once out of STI, BBs will have no more reasons to 'invest' in this Zoom Bee using their customers' money. Only smaller BBs such as small securities firms will continue punting. lukewong82      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 12:06) Posted: Will there be a huge dumping on 18 Sept before the removal of CDG from STI Index? I remember huge drop in share prices happened to those 4 counters that was removed from MSCI on the day before the effective date of removal in 2019? cant remember the exact date liao..

If BBs want to buy, they wont queue long long like the uncles just to save 1 pip. vivacious      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 10:29) Posted: same. josephyeo      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 09:22) Posted: Managed to get some at 1.37

There are 5 others waiting in the reserve list, all of which are bigger than Zoom Bee. 🥺 tongphlp      ( Date: 02-Sep-2022 11:17) Posted: It contains the word - Emperor...
