Thanks for the report, it was a very good read.
I look forward to see how it's China operations perform. If I'm not wrong, it's first Kunming store should be starting operations soon. The year-end results should give a glimpse of its performance.
Given Singapore's small domestic market, the China operations will be crucial in determining whether Sheng Siong net profits can continue to grow at 15-20% annually.
I also wonder why doesn't the management reduce dividend payout ratio to retain cash for expansion. This reduces the need for capital raising in the future.
