Is SingPost waiting in vain for e-commerce gains?
It has recently lost $65.2m in the e-commerce business.
Singapore Post's recent net loss of $65.2m proves it still has a long way to go in delivering its e-commerce promise. The loss is due to the impairment of its intangible assets for TradeGlobal.
