- Excluding the incumbent Miss Ng Siew Hong (29%) and Miss Intan (15%), OPMIs came out to vote at 62.7-29-15 = 18.7% --> Miss Intan and co started out with a 14% handicap but in essence, the help ceiling was only going to be 18.7% out of the full 56% OPMI pool (only 33% OPMIs turned up)
- As a percentage of total votes, the results can be interpreted as Ng Siew Hong @0.59*62.7=37% and Miss Intan @0.41*62.7=25.7%
- Based on above calculations, OPMIs' support can be broken down into (25.7-15)/18.7 = 57% (for Miss Intan) and (37-29)/18.7 =  43% (for Miss NSH).

Scenario 1: Assume there is 60% OPMI support (from above statistics), what is the % of turn out that Miss Intan needs?
- Equation is 0.6*0.56*X + 0.15 > 0.4*0.56*X + 0.29, where X=% of turnout required from OPMI to help Miss Intan win.
- Solving the above equation for X, X=1.25 which means 125% of OPMI --> This means with above voting trends demonstrated in the EGM, it is mathematically impossible for Misss Intan to win.
- So her comment "I think we have more shares than [those in support of the current board], represented by the minority shareholders" is not really valid.

Scenario 2: Let's assume that Miss Intan has overwhelming 80% of OPMI support, what is the %turn out that Miss Intan needs?
- Equation is 0.8*0.56*X + 0.15 > 0.2*0.56*X + 0.29, where X=% of turnout required from OPMI to help Miss Intan win.
- Solving the above equation for X, X=0.416 which means that ~42% of the turnout from OPMI is required, ie. at least half of the OPMIs (close to a thousand individuals i suppose?)

So probably i would like to conclude that support for Miss Intan wasn't strong in the first place (or at least there wasnt enough resources/time to rally the troops even though Prof Mak on her side). Even if it was, it was always going to be a tall order without more institutional support.

That said. I agree with Specuvestor that it has been a good fight. With recent memory of Sabana REIT, hope the wave of activism will continue to get stronger..who knows, one day, SPORE will have their own David Webb. Along the lines of the broken window theory, i suppose such acts of activism will only keep those who have "funny ideas" to have 2nd thoughts....


In this latest fight of Chair Aw and the OPMIs, it seems like OPMIs have lost again. Some VBs previously term it as the "Apathy of the Minorities".

In the previous EGM, Team NSH had ~81mil votes while Team Intan had ~56mil votes. In this round of face-off, Team NSH increased their margin to ~84mil votes, while Team Intan reduced to ~45mil. Putting Team NSH's increased votes of 3mil aside, the bigger drop is actually the slightly more than 10mil of votes that did not appear in this EGM for Team NSH. The Apathy of the Minorities has gotten worst.

I guess the Board of Directors of Datapulse has not learnt its lessons from the Wayco fiasco.

The Company did not and will not buy a loss-making business(es) without reason. The Company bought the hotels to derive income and generate profits. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic was unexpected.

There are no plans to sell the properties.

The SGX-ST Listings Disciplinary Committee reprimands the former Executive Directors of Datapulse Technology Limited, Mr. Ng Cheow Chye, Mr. Ng Cheow Leng and Mr. Si Yok Fong @ Chin Yok Fong for the breach of Listing Rule 1206(1).

I'm not sure what the consequence of the reprimands is. Is it just a slap on the wrist? There does not seem to be a financial penalty and/or disqualification from holding directorship in other PLCs.

I do not think these guys violated any crimes serious enough for CAD to come in.

While there is no financial penalties, but it does seem like their ability to be appointed as directors on SGX in future may be clipped.
