Maybe singtel needs the money through day light robbery to pay for its highly over bid EPL rights

It is not a question of reading fine print ! It is done any time after signing the contract with all the unecesary freebies and then charge you later on. You are educated and that is fine... how about the illiterate or people who are too busy to scrutinise their bills? You can get sucked up a couple of hundreds unknowingly on a yearly basis. So do be careful. There is no social responsibility as far as singtel is concerned - making money in this ruthless manner is unacceptable

At first I was angry as well. Encountered before but it is all stated in the contract.
After some thought, I think it is a creative move to increase profitability and to get people hook into the services.
Just own some of its shares and the amt paid will be paid back to us in dividends..LO |

At a Glance
• FY09 results beat our above-consensus forecast.
• Strong JV contribution in 4Q boosts bottom line.
• Reiterate BUY, TP unchanged at S$0.92.
Comment on Results
Ezion beats the street. FY09 revenue more than doubled to
S$73.6m, driven by expanded vessel fleet and higher contribution
from its marine services business. Headline net profit was S$17.1m
(+113% y-o-y). Excluding net exceptional loss of S$2.5m, recurring
net profit is estimated to be S$19.6m (+144% y-o-y), beating our
above-consensus forecast. The outperformance was despite
S$1.2m doubtful debt provision, and was mainly due to stronger
than expected JV contributions in 4Q, with commencement of
work on Phase 1 of the Gorgon project. Net gearing increased as
loans were drawn to finance its liftboat newbuilding programme. A
final dividend per share of 0.06 Scts was declared.
First liftboat deployed. Ezion’s first liftboat, the
been delivered and chartered out to Ezra since Jan 2010. It is
currently being deployed to an oil supermajor operating offshore
Africa. The next liftboat is scheduled for delivery in 2Q10.
Potential sale and lease back deal? The group revealed that it
would seek to raise capital from its existing key assets. We believe
this could indicate a sale and lease back (SLA) of one of its liftboats.
With net gearing expected to reach 1.1x by end FY10, an SLA
would be positive, as it would allow capital to be recycled into the
business to pursue other opportunities. Lewek Leader, has
Recommendation
Reiterate BUY. While Ezion disposed a small vessel in 4Q09, the
impact to earnings is estimated to be insignificant. Hence, we
maintain our above-consensus FY10 earnings forecast of S$54.5m.
Our TP remains unchanged at S$0.92, still pegged to 12x FY10 PE.
Near term catalysts could be the announcement of tender results
for Phase 2 of the Gorgon project over the next two months.
Maintain BUY. |

All subscribers beware of singtel tactics of imposing you to pay for something you don't need. Tricked you by offering free service (eg ST Oracle ringtone), and then start charging one month later. Just imagine all the busy or illiterate subscribers start paying $5 each month, singtel will amass a huge profit through this day light robbery. So beware. This is how singtel generate its profit. This is one example of a recent service that i was tricked into without knowing until i checked my bill. Check you bill carefully .. don't get cheated....you can loose hundreds of dollars every year without realising..
How can this be a good counter?

Mostly importantly is the current market sentiment on this stock.. that is key.. and not be swayed by personal likes and dislikes
purelotus ( Date: 26-Feb-2010 10:03) Posted:
It is a lose to Genting SP at this moment if Sand open up.
As u know, Genting control the SEA for few decade already.
Unless Genting improve it customer base, which i believe Genting will.
But the problem is, Genting need to put up a fight, but sand already have the bonus share/pie here. |

Firstly, many fear dental treatment. Secondly, if it is expensive, why not go to any of the small dental clinic in the neigbourhood. Moreover, it is more convenient and less threatening. The prospect of growth is limited.
moneycow ( Date: 25-Feb-2010 15:13) Posted:
Friends whom visited their branches feedback that the cost they charged is very expensive.
And declare that they will probabaly go to other neigbourhood dental.
Guess many whom visited them before vow to avoid them for the same reason of high charges.
Perhaps the high charges is due to the facts that its a public listed company and have to make as much profits as possible in order to benefit its share holders.
So, with the high chargesd and the general public feeback. Thie rprofit may slump in 2010.
The profit for 2009 seems small, if a fall or lesser revenue and higher overhead could mean "Looses" for operation in the years ahead with shrinking clients.
350,000 patients are not members. They may not return. YES in record, All visiters will have their new record opened. Its just for tracking purposed and the same ppl whom visited may decides to visit other neigbourhood dental which are quite alot. Unless they go round and make all of them associates to cast the net bigger.and enable more catched.
They have not so many branches. The incraese in revenuse between o8 and o9 is very small. The incraese in revenure could be due to the fact that, they raise the tretatment charges. :) This will have the effect of old customers going to other service provider and could effect their bottom lines in years that follow.
Anbyway, persona;l opinion nia.
Half cents devidents, despite giving out 90% of profits is rediculously small :) |

Looks like Raffles Education is desperate . It will link up with any Tom Dick & Harry
boyikao3 ( Date: 25-Feb-2010 15:31) Posted:
Quite true. REC has been wanting to build a campus in Australia for a long time but without success because their courses and certs not recognised by MOE of Australia.. Now they are doing it in Malaysia and will be issuing certs that are recognised by Malaysian government. Sooner or later they will need to do this because so far they are a "virtual school" means with no campus and just issuing their own certified degrees without been recognised by any other universities. With this new campus in Malaysia, they will have a "base" and can start to issue their own certs and degrees by clamining that MOE Malaysia recogises Raffles University. Very smart rite ?

SINGAPORE, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The following are stories from Singapore newspapers on Thursday. Reuters has not verified these stories.
BUSINESS TIMES
- Raffles Education <RLSE.SI> is looking to extend its ties with Malaysian state investor Khazanah Nasional by setting up a university in Iskandar Malaysia in a proposed joint venture.
Iskandar is a swath of land in Malaysia about three times the size of Singapore located just north of the city-state. Malaysia hopes to develop the area by attracting industries as well as providing services to its richer neighbour.

Don't worry.. everything will stabilise once the interim measures are being digested. It is indeed a very profitable company

As long as the iNSider confirms that Kep Land is doing very WELL, there is nothing to worry.
Some traders are caught OUT of CASH and must liquidate to close positions.
Under such situation, they have to sell their shares cheap but not everybody is going to sell this cheap.
After all, there are Dividends on the way.
