Quote:- Midas has real products and are suppliers to real customers. It's P/L and balance sheet are (probably) real - until the extent where it hasn't account for the liabilities that was discovered recently.

That's no doubt about that. But, it is unknown whether the P/L and balance sheet are truly reflecting the company financial yearly. For companies that live on multiple big contracts and getting big contracts, there is a tendency to use the next contract to cover the cost of the previous one due to overrun. So, if this practice continues, it is just a matter of time that it will collapse. And this practice is technically difficult to audit based on submitted financial data.

If Patrick Chew was in charge, there is no way all these irregularities can happen. Conversely, if all these irregularities can happen, Patrick Chew was never in charge. Perhaps the more appropriate question we should be asking is whether these irregularities were blind chances or they were simply mischievous designs. The Chinese authorities appear to be unconcerned if the wronged parties are mere Singaporean shareholders. However, as seen in Anwell Technologies, the punishment can be very harsh if the irregularities harm any Chinese financial institutions/individuals

I combed through Midas announcements on SGX and saw that it also won some awards in 2016. I didn't even bother to mentally remember what award they won.

I think by now, all serious VBs know that these awards have no meaning at all and should have no bearings to the decision making process of investing.

and i have to wonder why the "referee" is not investigating for the corelation between the two and the reason why!
Would the "donation" determine how the award is given? and hence smoothen the exit of majority shareholders or certain parties?
just saying, of cos this is nothing but hypothetic!

Midas Holdings Limited has been conferred the "Most Transparent Company Award" at the Singapore Investors Association (Singapore) 17th Investors' Choice Awards under the 'Materials' Category. This marks the fifth year in a row that Midas has been placed at the top in corporate governance under the SIAS Investors' Choice Awards.


It sounds like the most sarcastic reward on hindsight. Tongue

SIAS also organised investors dialogue for Yuuzoo investors with management recently?
