quite siong for remisers. Alot of them use the 1.5 hours break to do admin and lunch.

Surprising that the CEO suggested that. He'd prob be 'chopped' into pieces in his homeland which really emphasizes worklife balance and worker's welfare.

If they want to do that, they shoud probably opens like 30 mins later at 930am and close 4:30pm. I wonder if this might become a topic for discussion during election? 

Can buy.  Buy in anticipation of merger, sell when merged - or even not merged.  Even if not merged, this' still a good stock.

;)))

remisers will be more rich..cos don't have to eat lunch..

trade all the way..! 9 - 5 pm keke

SGX chiong ah!
