Dutech Holdings

But what if Dutech decide to have share options scheme and scrip dividend (I don't think retail investors will want to get their dividend in shares if the stock is suspended right? lol )

One cannot just anyhow issue share options to reward themselves. They have to get approval via the Remuneration Committee within the board committees. For your information, Remuneration Committee of Dutech consists of only independent directors and one representative from Droege Group.

Dutech does not have a scrip dividend scheme in place. They cannot just anyhow issue scrip dividend unless they obtained shareholders approval. 

At the end of the day, I guess it need to depend on whether the Company still want to practise good coporate governance after suspending their shares.

A company that is listed on SGX (even if it is suspended) will have to abide by SGX listing rules. This includes having a corporate governance report in the annual report, detailing its corporate governance practices with specific reference to the principles and provisions as set out in the Code of Corporate Governance. Where the Company’s practices differ from the provisions under the Code, they have to explain the reasons for deviation. It is not a matter of whether, but it is a matter of having to play by the rules.
