Pakistan to continue import of LNG from Qatar

A Pakistani cabinet minister says Islamabad will continue to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar under a 15-year agreement, despite the severing of diplomatic ties with Qatar by Saudi Arabia and some other countries.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the federal minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources, said Qatar and Pakistan last year signed a $1 billion agreement, under which Qatar's Liquefied Gas Company Limited will sell LNG from 2016 to year 2031 to state-run Pakistan State Oil.

He said since no sanctions have been imposed on Qatar by the United Nations, Pakistan and Qatar were bound to abide by the agreement.

Qatar has released an initial report into the alleged hack of its state-run news agency, an incident which helped spark a diplomatic crisis between the energy-rich country and Arab nations.

The Qatari Interior Ministry said late Wednesday that the website of the Qatar News Agency was initially hacked in April with "high techniques and innovative methods."

It said hackers installed a file and then published a fake news item attributed to Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, just after midnight May 24.

The ministry did not say who it suspected carried out the attack. It also thanked the FBI and the British National Commission for Combating Crime for assisting it in its investigation.

The alleged fake news item, which had Sheikh Tamim making controversial comments on Iran and Israel, immediately was picked up by Saudi and Emirati media, laying the groundwork for the crisis that began Monday (05.06.2017.)

Kuwait's emir has traveled to Qatar and met that country's leader as part of his efforts to mediate an end to a crisis that's seen Arab nations cut ties to the energy-rich country and attempt to isolate it.

Kuwait's Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah was met planeside by Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, when he arrived on Wednesday night.

The two held talks, though details of their discussions were not released. Sheikh Sabah earlier Wednesday traveled to Dubai where he met with Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who also serves as prime minister and vice president of the UAE.

Sheikh Sabah also has traveled to Saudi Arabia in his efforts.

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.
