New business stories from a SE Asian hotspot
Same team, same format, new country
If you read the Mekong Memo, you already know we try to keep away from fluff. Five countries, five days a week - the business stories that keep your finger on the pulse.
We've been getting the same question from readers for months: What about Singapore?
It's a fair point. Singapore is at the center of almost every trade, investment, and regulatory story in the region. So we built something for that.
Singapore Weekly is delivered every Monday morning. It's very similar to the format you're used to - curated, and a little opinionated. Eight to ten stories on business, regulation, property, trade, and the policy changes that mean money.
Here's what last week's issue included:
Gas Lifeline Under Qatar's Rubble - Iranian missiles hit Qatar's mega LNG facility, and Singapore's months-long stockpile just became the most important insurance policy in the country
Three Days, Three Outages, Zero Bars - Singtel's network collapsed for three days, knocking 600,000 customers offline
Old Money, Safe Harbor - Hongkong Land paid SGD 541 million cash for a piece of Suntec REIT to grab a hedge as geopolitical jitters push capital to Singapore
Sands Doubles Down on the Bay - Las Vegas Sands handed out a multi-billion-dollar contract for its US$8 billion Marina Bay resort, 5,000 workers are already on site
Gatekeepers Who Opened Wide - Two RMs barred after the S$3 billion money laundering scandal that's still sending shockwaves through compliance departments region-wide
You get the idea. If you follow Southeast Asian business, Singapore is a must-add.
It's free. It should take five minutes to read.
