China Hu An Cable IPO

Interesting? More study needed. Considering the company "China Hu An Cable Holdings" had made its intention to list here known quite some time ago. Well about 1 month ago, to be rather specific.

But the timing of the IPO launch is quite gloomy, I'd say. Let's just take a look at the recent Tiger Airways IPO. Today it's closed at $1.46 (down from the IPO offer price of $1.50 & its first day trading's closing price of $1.58).

So very likely I'll give this counter a miss. (And still considering Sin Heng Heavy Machinery IPO, instead.)

China Hu An Cable Holdings has applied to list on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Mainboard.

The China-based integrated wire and cable manufacturer lodged its preliminary prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore on Thursday.

In the document, the firm said it intends to channel S$28 million of the net proceeds from the listing and/or bank borrowings to the construction of new workshops, production lines and acquisition of new production machinery.

These expansion plans are expected to commence six months after listing.

Another S$1 million from the net proceeds will be used to strengthen its research and development capabilities in order to broaden its product range.

China Hu An Cable said its order book stands at about RMB173 million of unfulfilled secured contracts, which it expects to deliver in the next six months.

From Channel NewsAsia, "China Hu An Cable applies to list on SGX Mainboard". (31/12/09)

CHINA Hu An Cable Holdings Ltd, an integrated wire and cable manufacturer, has launched its initial public offering (IPO) for a Singapore Exchange mainboard listing.

The China-based company's offering comprises 118 million new shares and 58 million vendor shares, of which five million are public-offer shares and 171 million placement shares. Each share is priced at 42 cents. The offer opens today and closes on Feb 4. Trading of the shares is expected to begin on Feb 8.

The company aims to raise about $44.6 million in net proceeds to help expand and enhance its manufacturing facilities to better cater to the high-end cable market.

CIMB Bank, Singapore branch, is the manager and CIMB-GK Securities Pte Ltd is the underwriter and placement agent.

According to executive chairman and chief executive officer Dai Zhi Xiang, the IPO will place Hu An Cable in closer access to international markets, and allow it to better tap growing demand from sustained infrastructure spending, nationwide power infrastructure upgrades, and niche but promising sectors such as the mining and ship-building industries.

The company said it has developed a strong brand reputation in its 11 years of establishment. It is situated in the wire and cable hub of Yixing in Jiangsu Province and is said to have a strong focus on research and development.

Hu An Cable is supplier to companies such as State Grid Corporation of China and China Huadian Group. It has also participated in state projects such as the Beijing Workers' Stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

For the nine months ended Sept 30, 2009, the group recorded 103 million yuan (S$21 million) in net profit on revenue of 943.5 million yuan.

Kingdom Come | Kingdom Comedy

Currently re-reading DC graphic novel "Kingdom Come". Used to find the story unbearably dull with Alex Ross' gouache style of painting pretentious. (Really, it's much an ache to see not only the cover page, but also the whole content of the book drawn that way.)

Used to.

But after having chanced to read "Thy Kingdom Come" (which by the way is also a graphic novel), I came to appreciate Alex Ross' technique of drawing (See, he drew the cover page for the series) & made me want to give a previously scorned "Kingdom Come" a second chance.

Well, I still hate "Kingdom Come". Then again I'm grateful that it gave me enough reason to try to dedicate a post for this "Kingdom Come" which led me to the discovery of this hilarious redrawn of the cover. Featuring the almost forgotten DC character, "Captain Carrot"! Heh.

The good old days when Life can be so bright with a simple comic book. Sigh.

The runaway diplomat Dr Silviu Ionescu is confirmed to be a culprit (and a coward, at that) in a hit-and-run accident

Dr Silviu Ionescu. Previously a suspect in a hit-and-run accident that injured two & killed one has now been reported to be the one who drove the car fast & furious.

Little surprise that he once said (after escaping to his country Romania) that he won't be back to Singapore.

Now is a matter of how well the cooperation between Interpol Bucharest and Singapore police.

Shall we finally witness the long arm of law caught this crook? Let's patiently wait & see...

On a separate news (from Malaysia's Bernama), it mentions how the dead victim's mother sought the assistance of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in Kuala Lumpur to seek justice for her son.

It's getting more complicated & pressurizing for Singapore to bring a satisfying (and just!) end to this case.

AT LEAST 35 witnesses will be called at a coroner's inquiry into the death of a hotel assistant manager who was run over by a Romanian diplomat's car in December.

The inquiry into the death of Malaysian Tong Kok Wai, 30, a Singapore permanent resident, will be held from March 3 to 10.

Mr Tong died on Christmas Day - 10 days after a hit-and-run accident at Bukit Panjang - after he was taken off life support.

Romanian diplomat was the driver

SENIOR STATE Counsel Lau Wing Yum said said extensive police investigations showed that the car was not stolen and that Dr Ionescu was behind the wheel at the time of the two accidents.

Dr Ionescu flew back to Romania three days later. He has since been recalled by the Romanian government.

But Mr Lau said his whereabouts is not known. He added that the Singapore police are in contact with Interpol Bucharest.

From Asiaone, "Hit-and-run inquest March".

AT LEAST 35 witnesses will be called at a coroner's inquiry into the death of a hotel assistant manager who was run over by a Romanian diplomat's car in December.

The inquiry into the death of Malaysian Tong Kok Wai, 30, a Singapore permanent resident, will be held from March 3 to 10.

Mr Tong died on Christmas Day - 10 days after a hit-and-run accident at Bukit Panjang - after he was taken off life support.

The newly-wed and Malaysian waiter Bong Hwee Haw, 24, were walking on the pedestrian crossing at the junction of Bukit Panjang Road and Bangkit Road at about 3.10am on Dec 15 when they were hit by an embassy car. The car sped off and hit an 18-year-old student at the next controlled junction.

Principal Senior State Counsel Lau Wing Yum revealed this in court on Wednesday while giving a brief summary of what happened that fateful day.

He said the Romanian charge d'affaires, Dr Silviu Ionescu, 49, reported the loss of his car at 3.40am that day. The car, with its front windscreen smashed and bonnet dented, was found locked and abandoned at Sungei Kadut Avenue later that day.

From Straits Times, "Hit-and-run inquest March".

Police investigations have revealed that Romanian diplomat, Dr Silviu Ionescu, was the driver of a car that was involved in a hit-and-run accident on December 15 last year.

The accident resulted in the death of a 30-year-old Singapore permanent resident, Tong Kok Wai, and injured two others.

Deputy Principal Senior State Counsel Lau Wing Yum told the Coroner's Court on Wednesday that the state will "lead evidence that 49-year-old Dr Ionescu is criminally concerned in causing Mr Tong's death".

The court heard that the car from the Romanian Embassy hit Mr Tong and another pedestrian, 24-year-old Bong Hwee Haw, as they were crossing the road at a traffic junction of Bukit Panjang Road and Bangkit Road, at around 3.10am on December 15.

Instead of stopping, the car sped off. It hit 18-year-old Muhammad Haris Abu Talib at the next controlled junction.

Mr Lau told the State Coroner, Victor Yeo, that the traffic lights were in favour of the pedestrians in both instances.

Mr Lau also said that Dr Ionescu made a 999 call about 30 minutes after the accidents to report that the car, a black Audi, had been stolen. Police investigations, however, revealed that the car was not stolen.

The vehicle was recovered at around 11am that day, locked and abandoned at 21 Sungei Kadut Avenue. Mr Lau said the right side of the car's front windscreen was smashed. The front bonnet and the driver's door were dented.

Dr Ionescu left Singapore for Romania on December 18 - as he said that he was seeking treatment for health problems.

All three pedestrians who were involved in the accidents were sent to the National University Hospital.

However, Mr Tong, who suffered fractures to his right leg and skull, succumbed to his injuries and died on Christmas Day - 10 days after the accident. His widow, Yenny Young, has engaged prominent criminal lawyer, Subhas Anandan.

Mr Bong has engaged a team led by N Srinivasan from Hoh Law Corporation. He wants to be compensated for the injuries he sustained. Mr Srinivasan told reporters that his client, who has already returned to Sarawak, incurred hospital bills amounting to nearly S$50,000.

The pre-inquiry conference for this case will be held on February 24. The coroner's inquiry will begin on March 3. At least 35 witnesses will be called at the inquiry.

From Channel NewsAsia, "Police investigations reveal Dr Ionescu was driver of car that hit 3 people in Dec".

The Singapore authority will hold a coroner's inquiry into the death of Malaysian Tong Kok Wai, a Singapore permanent resident who died after a hit-and-run accident involving a Romanian diplomat's car last month.

Over 30 witnesses will be called to testify in the inquiry to be held from March 3 to 10.

Tong, 30, a hotel assistant manager died 10 days after being hit by a car while crossing the road with Sarawakian waiter Bong Hwee Haw, 24, in Bukit Panjang in the early hours of Dec 15 last year.

It was reported by the local media that the car sped off and hit an 18-year-old student, Muhammad Haris Abu Talib, at the next pedestrian crossing. Both Bong and Haris suffered serious head and bodily injuries.

Earlier this month, Tong's mother, Tong Ah Mooi, 59, sought the assistance of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in Kuala Lumpur to seek justice for her son.

On Wednesday, principal senior state counsel Lau Wing Yum revealed in court that Romanian charge d'affaires Dr Silviu Ionescu, 49, was the man behind the wheel at the time of the double accidents that morning.

He said police investigation had shown that the car was not stolen as claimed by the diplomat although it was found locked and abandoned at Sungei Kadut Avenue later that day on Dec 15, with its front windscreen smashed and driver's door and bonnet dented.

It was reported that Ionescu left Singapore for Romania three days after the incident and had since been recalled by the Romania government.

Lau said Ionescu's whereabouts were not known but the Singapore police were in contact with Interpol in Bucharest.

Also earlier this month, Aurelian Neagu, Romania's ambassador to Singapore but based in Tokyo, Japan, met Singapore Foreign Ministry officials to present the Romanian authorities' standpoint connected to the accident but no details were released on the meeting.

From Bernama, "Singapore Coroner's Inquiry Into Death Of Malaysian".

Update on 31/03/10: the expected verdict is out, the obvious killer is named.

FORMER Romanian diplomat Dr Silviu Ionescu was found on Wednesday to have caused the death of a pedestrian in a hit-and-run accident in Bukit Panjang last December.

State Coroner Victor Yeo said he was satisfied that the State had proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the driver of the black Audi car involved in the Dec 15 accident was none other than Dr Ionescu, 49, then the charge d'affaires of the Romanian Embassy.

After a six-day inquiry into the death of Malaysian Tong Kok Wai, 30, an assistant manager, earlier this month , the coroner recorded a verdict of death due to the reckless act of a known person.

Coroner Yeo also found that Dr Ionescu, who had since returned to Romania, had deliberately lied about his Audi car being stolen from outside the embassy at Jalan Harom Setangkai, near Farrer Road, shortly after the accident.

The inquiry also heard that the ex-diplomat had severely injured Mr Tong's close friend, Mr Bong Hwee Haw, 24, who was using the pedestrian crossing, when they were hit.

Mr Bong, who is now back in Kuching, Sarawak, could not remember what happened except that the lights were in their favour at the time.

Dr Ionescu did not stop and went on to hit Institute of Education student Muhammmad Haris Abu Tabli, 19, at the next junction of Bukit Panjang and Pending Road.

From Straits Times, "Ionescu caused death".

Overcrowding at TTSH: Answer lies in quality and quantity

I disagree with what Tan Tock Seng Hospital's (TTSH) CEO Dr. Eugene Fedelis Soh commented about how "having more room for beds is not the solution". He suggested instead for the hospital to re-look its quality framework.

His remark does not make sense at all.

The issue of overcrowding in TTSH is real. It has nothing to do with quality. It's the matter of quantity...or lack of it.

Even Health Minister Mr. Khaw Boon Wan admitted the issue as it is & wisely apologised for the overcrowding situation in his blog. Check out his well-said post in "Healthcare 2010: Expanding Capacity, Raising Capabilities" dated 21 Dec 2009.

Part of the 6th paragraph:

I thank the patients too for their patience and understanding. It is no fun waiting for a bed, in a crowded room or in a corridor; I am truly sorry.

So please just admit it, Dr. Soh. If it's merely a quality issue, why over the last three years, 145 beds had been added to TTSH?!

It's much more encouraging to read how a very important person like the Health Minister is willing to recognize the situation, empathize with the patient & apologize for the inconvenience. By the way, he even mentioned about the upcoming KTPH (it stands for Khoo Teck Puat Hospital--and guess what, there's even a Wikipedia article about it: here) which is supposed to be 'the final solution' to the overcrowding problem faced by TTSH.

Occupany in public hospitals may be on the rise, but Tan Tock Seng Hospital's (TTSH) chief executive officer Dr Eugene Fedelis Soh says that in order to serve its patients, "having more room for beds is not the solution".

What needs to be done, he said, is for the hospital to re-look its quality framework.

On top of this, staff must realise that the needs of the patients come first and foremost.

"I think for the longest time we have not looked at quality in isolation," Dr Soh told MediaCorp.

"We have been making changes, telling our staff they are to look at the value they bring to our patients," he added.

Nonetheless, the 165-year-old hospital recently came under fire from some patients for the lack of beds.

Dr Soh said the hospital is learning from its mistakes and doing its best "to make sure that patients' experiences are part of the healing process".

Over the last three years, TTSH said it had added 145 beds. It also operates 80 beds in collaboration with RenCi Hospital, he added.

Last month, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan apologised for the overcrowding situation in his blog.

Several times a week, TTSH has had to divert civil defence ambulances to other hospitals.

"It is no fun waiting for a bed, in a crowded room or in a corridor; I am truly sorry," wrote the minister.

Despite this, some patients seemed pleased with the work put in by TTSH. The hospital pulled up last year's score to 67.2 out of a 100 - up 0.21 points from 2008 in the Customer Satisfaction Index of Singapore.

The findings, released on Monday by the Institute of Service Excellence at the Singapore Management University, ranks sectors based on customer expectations, perceived overall quality and perceived value.

Said Dr Soh: "We are happy that improvements have been made despite the challenges in the last year, especially during the H1N1 period… credit for this must go to our staff as well."

Improving patient experience in the last year was an uphill challenge said Dr Soh, especially when TTSH is one of the busiest restructured hospitals in Singapore.

This situation has been made even more complicated by the manpower crunch faced by the healthcare industry.

The Ministry of Health has taken steps to beef up manpower, with more than 1,200 people enrolled in nursing courses at the polytechnics.

Dr Soh said the challenge for TTSH was to ensure that its nursing recruits from China and the Philippines were made aware that they should be adding value and care for the patients.

What's heartening is that TTSH caregivers have been going the extra mile, he added.

For example, nurses at the hospital have been following up on recently discharged patients.

Furthermore, caregivers have also been working with the Home Nursing Foundation (HNF) to ensure that patients' needs are met even if they choose to recuperate at home.

These steps have impressed Mrs Chan Foong Chueen, 49.

She said: "My mother has been hospitalized here for the sixth time since 2008… Even though she was warded at different wards each time, the care she received was always of a consistently high standard."

"The nurses went beyond being healthcare professionals who provided medical care for my mother, as they were good listeners who gave me good advice when I encountered difficulties in communicating with the maid my siblings hired to look after my mother".

From Channel NewsAsia, "Overcrowding at TTSH: Answer lies in quality, not quantity".

Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno: a convict...and a writer?!

Poor Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno. She hasn't received her much dreaded caning, but she already lost her job & husband. She is now said to be writing a book about her experiences and plans to publish it someday.

Let me guess the title of the book. It could be "1 Business, Six Akan Datang Rottans, and a Bestselling Book later". Hmmm....or simply, "The Confusing Case of Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno: Drinker, beware!". Heh. Unimaginative...

Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, who has been sentenced to six strokes of rotan by the Kuantan Syariah Court for drinking beer, is planning to write a book about the trials of tribulations of her life.

Kartika, 33, started penning her thoughts in August last year, the day the religious authorities took her in a van from her house in Perak to the Kajang Prison in Selangor to carry out the sentence.

“Although the van later made a u-turn back to my home as the authorities have decided to postpone the caning, the experience and anticipation have left such a huge impact that I decided to pen down my thoughts.

“I jotted down what I was feeling while I was still inside the van. When I was sent home that day, I suddenly felt the urge to perform Umrah in Mecca.

“In Mecca, I will pray to Allah to give me strength and courage to pick up the pieces and carry on with my life," said Kartika just before breaking down in tears.

Sources close to Kartika said she had lost her job because of the court case, and that she was now in the process of divorcing her Singaporean husband as the long wait for the sentencing had taken a toll on their long distance relationship.

The Syariah High Court had on July 20 last year ordered the mother of two to be caned six strokes and fined RM5,000 after being caught drinking at a hotel in Cherating in 2008.

Although she paid the fine, the sentencing has yet to be carried out.

Kartika, who had earlier received a 14-day umrah package from Gemilang Travel and Tours in conjunction with the opening of its new office in Ara Ampang commercial complex, said she would write about her life experiences as a lesson for the younger generation.

Kartika said she hoped to perform Umrah in March after her divorce was finalised, adding however that she was still hopeful for a reconciliation with her estranged husband.

“Right now, I need peace of mind. I hope to find it in Mecca," she said.

From The Star Online, "Part-time model Kartika wants to write about her life".

THE former model set to be caned for drinking a beer has lost her job and her husband. Now, she just wants to take her punishment and move on.

'My life is almost destroyed, and I just want to start all over again,' Ms Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, told The Straits Times.

'I wish to go to Mecca to perform my umrah (pilgrimage), and go back to modelling as I am into Islamic fashion.'

The Malaysian from Perak made international headlines when she was ordered to be caned six times and fined RM5,000 (S$2,060) in July last year for drinking alcohol in public.

She would be the first woman caned in Malaysia under Islamic law. The punishment is enforced only in Pahang, Kelantan and Perlis. Civil law does not allow caning for women.

The Pahang Syariah High Court abruptly postponed her caning in August until after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

From Straits Times, "Just do it".

Sin Heng Heavy Machinery IPO

Sin Heng Heavy Machinery IPO. Looks attractive. Let's dig for more details about this company, shall we?

The estimated net proceeds of S$18.8 million attributable to the vendor will be used mainly to partially repay the Leverage Loan.

For the fiscal year 2009, the group generated S$136.99 million in revenue and S$21.98 million in profits. For 2008, revenue was S$131.83 million an net profit was S$17.16 million.
