Daily Briefing: How Singapore IPOs are faring; Sembcorp leads the STI gain

And Chinese developer Qingjian plants flag in Bukit Batok.

From Dollars and Sense via Yahoo!: In this week alone, there were two new IPOs to the Singapore market, namely NetLink NBM Trust and Union Gas Holdings. This brings the total number of IPOs as of 21 July 2017 to 12. All of these IPOs marked their entrance on the market with an opening price higher than the IPO price, with the exception of NetLink which opened at the same price.

From The Motley Fool Singapore: The biggest winner in the index happened to be Sembcorp Industries Limited edging up 4.8% to S$3.29. The energy, water and marine group will be releasing its financial results for the first half of 2017 on 3 Aug after market closes. For the first quarter ended 31 March 2017, the conglomerate posted a net profit gain of 11.3% to S$119.1 million. Now let’s jump over to the losing side of the STI. Port operator, Hutchison Port Holdings Trust, lost the most ground, paring 4.3% to US$0.45.

From PropertyGuru: The Le Quest in Bukit Batok attracted a crowd of potential buyers on the first weekend of preview. Developed by Qingjian Realty, this is the first mixed-use development in Bukit Batok and the first launch there in a long time, said Huttons property agent John Cheong. Located beside the Dulwich College international school, the property’s residential component comprises 516 studio and one- to four-bedroom units spread across five blocks. Unit sizes range from 431 sq ft to 1,528 sq ft.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
