Former No Signboard CEO fined $420k for false trading

Forty-seven-year-old Lim Yong Sim, the former executive chairman and CEO of No Signboard, was convicted and sentenced to a fine of $420,000 after pleading guilty to three charges of false trading. He admitted that between June 19 and 29, 2018, he bought 4,331,200 No Signboard shares using the trading account of Gugong to falsely push up the price of the shares. Lim, who was at the time the director and majority shareholder of Gugong, a majority shareholder of No Signboard, was under pressure from shareholders due to the company's declining share price. As a result of the false trades, No Signboard share price rose by 27 per cent from $0.154 to $0.196, against the backdrop of a decline of 1.69 per cent in the Straits Times Index during the same period. On Nov 29, 2018, No Signboard, in announcing its financial results, revealed that the company registered a loss — causing No Signboard share price to dip to to $0.137. Lim began trading in No Signboard shares again, buying a total of 3,535,100 shares between Nov 30, 2018, and Jan 11, 2019, using Gugong's trading account.

'Duck rice without rice'? Not for sale, says Toa Payoh roast meat stall owner

He had wanted a plate of roast duck rice, sans rice, but was taken aback when his order was rejected. The patron, surnamed Li, told Shin Min Daily News that he had gone to a roast meat stall near Toa Payoh MRT station on Tuesday (Oct 29) and placed an order for «duck rice without rice». However, he was told by the employee that they don't offer such an option. Li, 42, explained that he only wanted to have the meat and thought that ordering it with rice would be a waste. «The duck rice costs $6.90 and I was willing to foot the amount. The female staff member however said that her boss had indicated that they wouldn't sell it without rice.» Thinking he might have misunderstood what the employee was saying, Li returned to the eatery two days later, only for his request to be turned down yet again. «I've bought individual portions of meat at other stalls, I don't understand why this stall can't do it,» said Li. According to Shin Min, a reporter who went down to the eatery had tried ordering the same item and was also rejected.

Worker dies after being struck by concrete mixer truck in Marina East

SINGAPORE – A 46-year-old Thai construction worker died on Oct 30 after he was struck by a concrete mixer truck that was entering a work site in Marina East Drive. This is the seventh reported workplace death in the period between July and October. The worker was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic. The driver of the truck, a 41-year-old man, was arrested for causing death by a negligent act. The police and the SCDF said they were alerted to the incident at about 7.50am on Oct 30. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said the truck was entering the Marina East site for refuelling when it struck the Thai worker, who was employed by Koh Kock Leong Enterprise. The civil engineering and construction company is also the occupier of the work site. This means the company has control over the premises, which is being used to store excavated material. MOM said it has instructed the firm to stop all vehicular operations at the refuelling area where the fatal incident occurred.
