WorldReginfo - 49cb86bb-9f7e-4ef2-8205-de7b06d0672a I Thought, We Can Stay Strong Like Stones by Chok Yue Zan Mixed media 120 x 180 cm Mr Chok Yue Zan’s I Thought, We Can Stay Strong Like Stones is the design inspiration for this Annual Report. Mr Chok reinterprets his family’s portrait to show the depth, strength and unity of familial ties. It received the 2017 UOB Painting of the Year (Malaysia) award. He is also the recipient of the 2018 UOB-Fukuoka Asian Art Museum residency programme. The rocks carved in the shape of the people closest to the artist symbolise the importance of nurturing trusted and deep relationships that last. Standing resilient amid swaying foliage, cloudy skies and rolling waters, the rocks reinforce the need for a firm foundation and fortitude to weather change and volatility. These reflect UOB’s distinctive and disciplined approach to banking. Creating sustainable value for our stakeholders and the communities in which we operate is also expressed through UOB’s support of art. The UOB Painting of the Year Competition, in its 36th year in 2017, is the Bank’s flagship art programme held across four Southeast Asian countries.

  • SIAEC GOES IPO SIAEC Goes IPO (4/5/2000) the Following Announcement Was Sent to the Singapore Exchange This Morning
    04 May 2000 SIAEC GOES IPO SIAEC goes IPO (4/5/2000) The following announcement was sent to the Singapore Exchange this morning: "Singapore Airlines Limited wishes to announce that it is proceeding with the initial public offerings of shares of its two subsidiary companies, SIA Engineering Company Limited and Singapore Airport Terminal Services Limited. The offerings comprise 110 million vendor shares of SIA Engineering Company Limited for subscription at $2.05 each, and 110 million vendor shares of Singapore Airport Terminal Services Limited for subscription at $2.50 each. The offerings will be launched this afternoon. Complete details will be contained in the respective prospectus." Related Stories Singapore Airlines to List Two Major Subsidiaries (27 January 2000) The Board of Directors of Singapore Airlines (SIA) has decided to proceed with the listing of the ordinary shares of two major subsidiaries, Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS) and the SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC), on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The decision was based on the conclusions of a three-month study by two major investment banks, Development Bank of Singapore (DBS) and Merrill Lynch, to consider the arguments for and against such a listing. Explained SIA Deputy Chairman and CEO Cheong Choong Kong: "This is not an exercise to raise capital. The object of the listings is to allow SATS and SIAEC to be more independent and grow faster than if they remained fully-owned by SIA. There will be greater incentive for them to secure more third-party work and enter into more business ventures internationally." SIA will remain a majority shareholder of SATS and SIAEC.
