SGX flags concerns about financial accounting by several China-linked firms
Companies at risk include those from the textile and sporting goods, manufacturing, heavy industries, packaging, electrical and electronics, retail and chemical sectors, according to Singapore Exchange's Chief Regulatory Officer.

they are damn slow

It has been donkey years since GFC and s chip crisis... and u got to take all these fat donkeys to realise that they have been over grazing on barren pastures. .. maybe we shld really write off these donkeys

Must say something to show that they are deeply concerned , they are paid to say something but cant do much !

Luckily I m already passed that stage... else I don't mind to be thick skinned enough to cover my heart to make that sort of $...

On the other side of things, is there anything wrong to disclose and red flag the companies that they are watching for the sake of transparency?

Always Confused
GG

As good as never say anything. But some still believe they are working very hard to look after the interests of  the investing public .

Just leaving yr hard earned $ with GODFathers that u are comfortable with. Leave them alone as what goes round comes round. They will be looked after.

No worries

If roadside sources analysis is correct, then someone in SGX must be aware that there are smart analysts out by the roadside... if we keep getting IPOs that is win-LOSE, our sad state of securities market will continue and eventually Singapore's role as a regional financial centre will be undermined notwithstanding the amount of profits that SGX is delivered to its own stake holders.

The Singapore Exchange (SGX) is studying ways to encourage institutional investors to be more engaged, and to move towards cutting down the number of company disclosures while giving them greater value.
SGX chief regulatory officer Tan Boon Gin said the push towards "low volume/high value" disclosures was part of moves to strengthen the regulatory regime here.
Speaking at the Thomson Reuters Asean Regulatory Summit yesterday, Mr Tan noted that Singapore has proportionately more retail investors than the United States, home to the principles of disclosure-based regulatory regimes.

"In order for the disclosure-based regime to work in Singapore, we have had to make certain adjustments," Mr Tan noted.
For example, "if company filings are too voluminous, the danger is that investors will not even look at the disclosure documents".

We are looking at historical dividend yield... low share prices could be forward indication that dividend cuts could be on the horizon and hence Mr Mkt may not be always wrong...

I concur with your view.

FYI, I have compared my portfolio dividend yield of 2015 vs 2014. The yield has increased from 5.7% to 6.5%. The yields are calculated by a simple total dividend / starting portfolio NAV of the year. The increase is about 14%, vs STI's 27% (last year STI dividend yield is 3.3%)

May I know your 2014 5.7% dividend was Total dividend / ?
