Sis halle,

40 lots means Rights entitlement is 1120 shares.
Rounding up to avoid odd lots issue means can apply for 1200 shares.
Both of us have no experience with Rights issue.
If apply for 1200 shares, we know sure can get.
But if we apply for say 2000 shares, what we didnt know was if Underwriting Managers cannot give us 2000 shares, will they
still give us 1200 shares? Or 1120 shares. We have no idea. And didnt want to risk getting 1120 shares. Also, we had thought
the Rights shares will be fully taken up since so cheap. As such, to apply for extra shares above 1200 shares and hope to get
it was wishful thinking. That was what we thought.

If anyone else here Liak Wu Kew what Sis halle said, please spell it out clearly for me. My question is how many more extra shares over and above her entitlement did she receive.  My wifey has 40 lots with CDP and 10 lots with FSM. She did only the rounding up to the nearest 100 shares to avoid odd lots issue and was alloted what she applied for. We are now wondering if she had applied for say 200 to 500 more shares, would she have gotten it

 

shld ask bro yoga how many excess he applied fr n how many does he get n how many lots did he hold fr the rights...

 

i agak agak fr the 40 lots wth cdp if she applied 10-20 lots excess might get abv 5 lots.....then 10 lots under fsm will get at least abv 1 lot....

Thanks everyone for your advice and support! Caesar      ( Date: 24-Apr-2026 16:24) Posted: Urh ...no leh ...almost fell asleep 😴 . Actually I am not worried. My purchase price is 4.22.

Iran' s latest proposal is:

- US to end naval blockade immediately.
- Iran will reopen Straits of Hormuz.
- Nuclear issue to be discussed later another time as far into the future as possible or if can never then lagi better still. 

Very obviously, Iran is feeling the suffocation from the blockade.
Nothing else matters to Iran more. 
Without oil revenue, Iran cannot keep fighting. Soldiers need to be paid. Generals need to be paid. Ministers too. Etc etc.
So getting the blockade to end immediately is their No. 1 priority.
And they thought they can achieve that by offering to reopen the Straits of Hormuz.
Trump wont budge. His stand is you can close the Straits all you like. The blockade will shut Iran' s war machine off. You are finished.
Trump can maintain this status quo for as long as it takes. He has all the time in the world. But Iran dont. Iran beh tong leow. I si leow.
Iran clearly has no intention to stop their quest to destroy Israel. That' s why they cannot give up their nuclear programme. That' s why
they want to kick the nuclear can down the road for as long as they can. That' s why they suggested end the blockade and reopen the
Straits first and defer the nuclear issue to another time.

Iran is negotiating as if they are the stronger country. 
Or as if Trump and his advisors are stupid and can be easily fooled to end the blockade in return for Iran reopening the Straits.
So nothing will come out of this new proposal.
Trump will continue with the blockade.
Without oil revenue, it is a matter of time before Iran runs out of money.
Iran will have to give up. Eventually.
Firing all their remaining missiles and drones at US bases in the region and at the infrastructures of Gulf nations will still not
achieve victory for Iran. If she use up all her remaining weaponry, she will be a lame duck. She will be worse off. Than if she
agrees to give up her nuclear programme, end the war. keep her current regime and continue to run Iran as an Islamic state. 

By the way, did you guys notice that Wall Street has shifted its focus back to fundamentals. War-related volatility is no longer
there. No more wild swings in the indices. Markets have stabilized and are consolidating. Fundamentals will lead and determine
the direction of the markets. The Iran War has become sort of stale news.

Please share details. Would like to learn something from this. I am interested to know how far can one push his luck. For example if I am entitled to say 340 shares and I apply for 400 shares, very likely I will be given 400 shares as priority is given to those who apply for slightly more to avoid odd lots issue. But what if I apply for 600 shares? Or 1000 shares ? Or 2000 shares? If they dont oblige me, will they still give me 400 shares ? Or penalize me by giving me 340 shares

Sounds like high blood pressure is a condition which varies from person to person.
Becoz of that, there is no one-size-fits-all sure-work treatment plan.
It is up to each person to experiment and find out which food or exercise or activity is helpful or unhelpful.
You said that during covid, there was no work, no income, no worries and hence with medication, blood pressure was normal.
On 1st reading, I thought the above was an unusual combination. Becoz if no work and no income for most people will = worries.
But you said no worries. Which can mean only one thing - you have enough savings or assets or both and/or you have good family
support and finances is never an issue becoz everyone is doing well. Good for you. 

I asked a doctor what are the symptoms of high blood pressure.
He said no symptoms. He also said you may feel tired or experience weight gain or weight loss but these are not specific symptoms
as these same symptoms can present themselves for other medical conditions as well. So it seems like high blood pressure is a wild
horse which can have random behaviour and affects different people differently. I suppose the general advice doctors will give is try
to relax, to take it easy, avoid stress, stay hydrated, eat less salt. 

I think what is scary is high blood pressure is a condition which is not triggered only when you undergo a prolonged period of stress.
It can come anytime. Even when all along, you have been relaxed, at ease and enjoyed peace of mind. And it can happen even though
you are in your 30s. When I was doing my 3rd ICT in my early 30s, one of my company mates who was in his 30s as well told me he
had high blood pressure and had been attending SAF medical appointments. Becoz his blood pressure remained high despite medication,
his case escalated to the SAF Medical Board. I didnt see him again after that. The SAF Medical Board discharged him from the SAF.

sanvan      ( Date: 27-Apr-2026 14:25) Posted: I Have both, high blood pressure and high cholestrol. Cholestrol surfaced about 15 or so years ago.  Well managed by medication. Atorvastatin from the poly. High Blood pressure visited me about 8/9 years ago.  And has been a real problem. Refuses to go away. Started with 40mg of Valsartan from the poly, once a day.  Then twice.  Then increase dosage to 80mg, twice a day. So, from 40mg to now 160mg.  Still despite being regular with medication, it does not control it well.  Like right now is 157/97. Sometimes higher and other times lower.  Lunch from home, in order to control salt intake and oil.  Still uncontrolled high blood pressure.  In comparison, a friend of mine, who is a heavy smoker, takes half my dosage, and has his blood pressure well controlled.  So, I try to chill. To Bring it down when it goes high. Work, worrying and stress spikes it.  During 2 motnhs of Covid lockdown, with no work and no income and no worries, blood pressure was normal with medication. Still am thankful have not suffered any heart issues or been hospitalised.  And happy to enjoy another day when I wake up in the morning.    wavehunter      ( Date: 27-Apr-2026 13:37) Posted: General sanvan, Sorry to hear you are on long term meds for high blood pressure. I am on long term meds to control blood cholesterol. Have been taking it for 25 years, I think. Thank God my choleterol level is well under control. All these years, I am taking the same dosage. No increase in dosage. During my pre-health insurance medical checkup, I told the doctor everything about my blood cholesterol history. Showed her all the blood test results over the last 3 years or so. My insurance agent had pre-empted me that since I have been on medication for 25 years, very likely all blood cholesterol related illnesses like heart attack, stroke etc will be excluded from my policy should the insurers decide to offer me cover. So I waited earnestly for the outcome. Then the offer of insurance came. I accepted the offer and paid the premiums. It was a standard issue document with no fine print. After that I asked my agent to check whether any exclusion. He checked and came back with his answer - " NO EXCLUSION !!! Waaa....you very lucky arrr " he said.  I said maybe mine is a borderline case and my cholesterol level is not high plus no high blood pressure issue. He said " No leh. Many of his clients who are on meds for cholesterol all had exclusions. Some were refused cover.    Well, only one thing for me to say - Praise The Lord !!! I asked my doctor is high blood pressure an age-related issue. She said no. There are many young people with high blood pressure too. The science says it is related to genes. High blood pressure is genetic. Could be hereditary too. I suppose you can read up more online on what food to eat which can help to lower your blood pressure naturally. Take care.
