That is reasonable to me. SGX is a regulator, not investment banker. One of the key mandates is to ensure fair, orderly and transparent market, rather to protect irrational investment behaviour.

And what do you suggest SGX should have done? By extension, do you also blame the auditors for not uncovering these frauds since they have access to the company records? It is easy for us to say this should be done, that should be done, but in actual fact these things are just easier say than done.

You meant SGX will listen to suggestions from retail investors ?
Look at China Sky and other S chips , many have written to SGX/Sias but do SGX listen to them?
And what do you suggest the investing publics should do so that SGX will listen to them ?

Most if not all were punished in one way or the other by SGX, weren't they?
