I agree with this blogger. Actually, the media division did not  lose money until after the pandemic. even 1 mil profit is sitll profit, right? Who so hurry to throw it away so quickly at huge loss? https://alpacainvestments.blogspot.com/2021/05/should-sph-shareholders-take-umbrage-at.html |

Unless there is positive news release, immediate support of $1.51 will be weak. Next support range will be 1.40 - 1.37 close to its revise nav of 2.08*0.65x which coincide with Dbs Tp of 1.35.   |

A lot of local Properties counters are trading at deep discount.. example.. Metro Holdings... A lot of choices now folks...This ran up too fast from Golden Dollar to Double Golden Dollar within a span of just 6 months. An intelligent prediction will be in very short term find support around 1.3X in my humble opinion..  | ||||

Confirmed.
I re watched the clip and literally counted. He used his index fingers to point about 20 times. Before that, he was scratching his index fingers. Body languages showing his index finger dam itchy and trying to tahan his rage. The wise way is to put his whole left hand under his ARMPIT while taking URMBRAGE. At least, no finger pointing. Not so bad. |

God Forbid! Likely he will cut cut cut parang here parang there making more people signing up for unemployment sgunited courses. Old fashioned textbook of improving bottomline figures is to downsize staff. Going forward he needs to look at more innovative, creative ways to bring SPH to higher level. All temasek staff and govt scholars must first go the Harvard Biz school before joining any glc outfits.

Anyway who is buying newspaper these days. I don' t buy physical newspaper these days. Just go to NLB to view the e-newspaper (with touch screen)  OR You can also log on to NLB website at home (your PC/laptop/tablet)  and view the Straitstimes and Business times

We were all on the gravy train as it moved up from 1.00.   By halting trade on Thursday 6/5/21 they didn' t give us a chance to get out in stages that day because doing so would have created a landslide & completely crashed the stock.   Institutional investors / sellers probably already decided during the halt at 1.50 (thereabouts) before market opened on Friday 7/5/21 so rest of us left hanging with the baby without the bath water (1st trade @ 08:58.45 SGD 1.52, 200 shares).   Probably previous short sellers then cashed in their profits & drove it back to 1.60 by 9.30 am, & then the expected supply > demand ratio took over to bring it back down towards 1.50.   However many left still holding because had been hoping for a gradual slide to have got out at 1.70, 1.60, etc..., so now stuck, & this resulted in an incomplete crash.   Possibly also what company was hoping for, ie not a complete crash + news was only released after ex-dividend date to keep people holding to buoyancy the price to prepapre for the fall...   Also psycological threshold is at 1.50, just like bottomed out at 1.00 & everyone was hoping to top out around 2.00. Next is what those holding do.   Be objective as the market has downpriced SPH with huge loss of assets as an unfavourable outcome from Strategic review, hence unlikely for short term gains.   More likley stabilise at 1.50 or drop more.   My feeling is with 4,000,030 shorts on Friday (https://sginvestors.io/sgx/stock/t39-sph/share-price-history) it will drop further.   Last time price was at 1.50 (thereabouts)on   31/3/21 (https://sginvestors.io/sgx/stock/t39-sph/share-price-history) shorts tried with 3,002,600 shorts but it soared above 1.50 as everybody was riding the gravy train + no bad news.   I think this time the shorts will win, so up to you if you want to get on the bandwagon & make some reverse direction profit. Next item of news is to clearly defeat this proposal at AGM (if we have the option) as clearly it' s not helpful in this uncertain time to propose such a definite loss in hope of long term gains.   Then we can get back on the train (may be one last time) to move back towards where we were on Thursday 6/5/21.

After two failed managing at ex-great NOL & SPH, his valuable experience in failing may be his greatest asset for him to bring to SIA to help do the right thing and navigate SIA out of trouble.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE TAKING UMBRAGE
BY now, most folks who are concerned about the future of print media in Singapore (~ The Straits Times) the share value of a media blue chip (~ Singapore Press Holdings) and thunderbolt restructuring (~ from private to company limited by guarantee CLG model) would have been amply distracted by the unwarranted response of SPH CEO Ng Yat Chung to a legitimate question, or two, by CNA?s digital reporter Chew Hui Min whether the new business model would ?pivot to emphasize editorial integrity ahead of advertiser interests?. THIS post, equally distracted, will focus purely on the journalism aspects of the Q-and-A exchange: *PRESS PROTOCOL IN GENERAL* 1. It is a press conference called by SPH. Journalists are entitled to ask questions as they deem fit in such a setting. If the firm does not wish to field questions, it could simply issue a press statement. 2. If a question is deemed irrelevant or provocative, the newsmaker can respond with a ?no comment? rephrase it to his/her advantage answer in an oblique manner or even end the event abruptly as host. Taking out your anger from your own failings on an innocent reporter isn?t one of them. *CNA AND ITS QUESTIONS* 3. CNA?s Chew was polite, even greeting the panel with a ?(good) morning? when she didn?t need to do so and ending with a ?thank you?. Can?t blame her for having a good upbringing. 4. Chew?s questions were professionally relevant: where?s the new focus and what/who went wrong. 5. Chew?s questions did not carry any provocation. It was sharp, not sarcastic. 6. Finally, Chew is a reporter. Her one and only task at the press conference was to ask questions, not to help herself with the refreshment. *NG YAT CHUNG AS A NEWSMAKER* 7. Chew?s question was meant for Chairman Lee Boon Yang. Ng does not need to respond. At all. Not at all. 8. Ng?s interjection was emotional, making his reply incoherent and ungrammatical - a bad reflection for a national English-language newspaper, coming from its head honcho. 9. Ng paraphrased Chew?s question wrongly. She did not say revenue over integrity. (Indeed Chairman Lee conceded that news media struggle with this balance.) But Ng accused her of saying so. 10. Ng pointed at Chew and said: ?... IN YOUR WORDS, conceding to the advertisers.? Chew, IN HER WORDS, never articulated IN THOSE WORDS. Ng could not even quote-unquote a correct quote. Unquote. 11. Ng dragged the other local media organizations into the mud, accusing them of being funded whereas ST was not. Not too gentlemanly. 12. Ng pointed at individuals in the conference room when he did this, making matters worse with this childish act. Those present were just reporters doing their job at a routine diary event. Why take it on them? Go scream at their employers, their organizations. Not the foot soldiers. There?s an appropriate Chinese saying 兵 来 将 挡  (The General fends off the soldiers). But Ng turned tail and did a cowardly 兵 来 将 躺 (The General flees from the soldiers). *NG YAT CHUNG AS A PERSON* 13. Ng was more than taking umbrage. He was taking advantage of the (local, female, rival, digital - four threats to him/SPH) reporter by raising his voice and bullying her into silence, if not submission, using caustic remarks like ?you dare to question...? ?where you come from ...? and ?I?m not (a gentleman).? He should pick someone his own ?size?. Wait, let me rephrase that... pick someone his own ?stature?, like an FCA (Foreign Correspondents Association) seasoned correspondent. They?ll have him for lunch and skin him alive in their response to his bullying. (Singapore journos are not timid, they are just diplomatic and perhaps too kind as well.) 14. Ng can, grudgingly, be described as a ?newspaper man? (by now based on seniority at least - even though he has never seen a day as a beat reporter, except the beating part). He should therefore respect fellow journalists even though they are many rungs below his salary and station. Okay, and his size. 15. Ng flopped at NOL and is now flip-flopping at SPH. He is better off showing humility. 16. Ng was a paper general in the SAF playing tabletop war scenarios and directing solutions. He is better off showing humility. FINALLY, two things: First: I hope CNA?s Mediacorp stand up and protect its harassed employees by responding to Ng?s uncalled-for intimidation. The poor girl must be wondering what she did wrong - when she didn?t. Second: Ng ought to apologize to Chew personally - unless he?s insisting he?s not a gentleman? IF only Ng had taken a deep breath before taking umbrage. There would have been less harm and less rage. ?- * The writer taught journalism at the former School of Journalism under SPH. |

He can retire soundly. Millions in his banks. Why still ask him to be CEO? Some more not his expertise area. Why KPKB if he can't perform well ? | ||||

His educational background in engineering and mathematic would be more suited for a very high tech engineering company like SIA.

Matthew Liang - Below is written by an angry shareholder: Ng Yat... | FacebookBelow is written by an angry shareholder: Ng Yat Chung, former HJC student and ex-CDF general,  How you behaved yesterday was terrible. You have discredited your uniform, behaving like a curmudgeon. You have also rankled current and former students of Hwa Chong. You were so besotted with your position and forgot your temperament, Revealing your snooty nature and appearing as a rasping termagant. Such manners never inculcated in Hwa Chong or any school in Spore, Don&rsquo t forget you are not in the military anymore. The reporter that asked two questions spoke politely, You, however, were haughty and behaved belligerently. Your self-assured hubris should now be shaken due to SPH&rsquo s performance, Reflecting your lack of knowledge, inexperience and ignorance.  Your management of NOL and SPH were egregious, You sold away an asset once regarded as precious, And turned a profitable media business into losses. Everyone can make a mistake,  That shareholders can tolerate, But you don&rsquo t even ingratiate with us, Turning our SPH shares into dust. With dividends you were very flinty, Rewarding yourself, you took plenty. Hiving off the media business with SPH&rsquo s money, Is an iniquitous trade that is taking away our honey. Those years you spent being rotated within Temasek, Presumably to prepare you as a CEO candidate, Now seems futile and was a complete waste, Of taxpayers&rsquo money, sadly this is a true case. Your behaviour yesterday I find it odious and pugnacious, Totally unnecessary for a meeting that should have been gracious. You ought to be gracious and resign to take accountability, For the terrible performance and your lack of creativity. Digitilisation occurred before you joined SPH,  With your credentials you should have the edge, Yet you behaved like a troglodyte, ignorant of what lies ahead.  And now another business is given away, To find new talent and pave a more prosperous way, Leaving us shareholders frustrated and immiserated. So perform an honourable and valiant act, Put on your General&rsquo s hat,  And disappear into the sunset. |

He used his index finger more than 10 times in the clip.
Well SIA shareholders will bite off that finger I guess.... Because who like finger pointing CEO? Chief EXCUSE Officer finger pointing Armpit General.

head of SIAS was right to question why divesting SPH media requires SPH to  Transfer about $300 million in cash/shares and assets, instead of getting bidders to  bid for it, which may generate some $$$ for shareholders? A very unconscionable strategic review indeed! A strategic review followed  with execution theoretically enhances the value of the company shares, which in this case,  does the opposite. will increase    |
