Thankfully, I have a boxing bag at home and Zoom classes are keeping me active. I also do some running and HIIT work to vary my routine these days. I am now looking forward to the day cross-border travel resumes, and I can travel to Thailand for holiday training. Anthony Tan, 48, is deputy CEO...

https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/life-culture/why-sphs-anthony-tan-is-hooked-on-muay-thai Has Business Times run out of ideas, money and guest writers that it has to get its Dy CEO Anthony Tan to pen this column? I know it is for the Lifestyle section, but I'm sure there are more interesting...

Truth be told, all the small newspaper titles in SPH would have died long ago if not for Straits Times, until recent years when ST itself succumbed to business pressures. The Business Times would have gone kaput long ago with its 25,000 to 30,000 circulation, if not for the fact that it would be...

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/singapore-press-holdings_soul-of-business-shop-for-good-by-sph-activity-6699603062417444864-Ebpb This guy is a big failure. Supposedly head of media business, but only doing small petty projects such as this that doesn't make money.

NYC and the whole bunch of incompetent senior management should be fired for destroying shareholders value and workers lives.

Just heard the news from a staff that 140 employees will be retrenched in yet another round of job cuts. This is after at least two similar major exercises in the past 2 years. And after NYC announced last month that the company is financially well positioned to fight the impact of Covid-19.

These are band aids that cannot stop the haemorrhage. To save the company, only solution is to replace the entire current senior management with real industry people from top notch foreign companies. It's scary to read to profiles of the current management. CEO is ex general. Dy CEO is former...

SPH shares dropped to 1.07 today. Cheaper than the ST newspaper. The media business is all but lost cause.

BK got to where he is by parroting the hardline position of LKY towards marathir. Dangerous character.

Same chairman LBY. Both organisations in decline for different reasons. In comparison, SPH is the more critical patient now in ICU. Leadership under CEO NYC and deputy CEO AT bereft of ideas to reverse decline. Plonking money in property projects hoping to find another Paragon miracle. Low staff...

Guess who sponsored these screens?

These digital screens at lift lobbies in HDB flats all over the island are going to be used by TCs to showcase government's good work before GE.

His first mistake is to hire consultants and pay them $$$ for recommendations that the staff could have given him. Second mistake is to replace experienced marketing and sales staff in their 40s and 50s with youngblood who do not know the business.

Current management is the weakest in history. CEO - paper general, Dy CEO - ex civil servant and SA to LKY, CFO - ex small time venture capitalist, CMO - ex journalist. All have zero experience in media business.

Up to a month ago, I used to think it will not drop to $1. I've changed my mind. According to insiders, staff morale, including those in mid to fairly senior management levels, is at all time low. The common feeling is those in charge have not come up with solid ideas and solutions to reverse...

Share price reached new low of $1.28. Cash rich company, but lacking ideas to grow.

Because SPH does not know how to operate and manage old aged homes. It's not its core business. Although, it is also not doing well on that front.

There was a suggestion sph should go into the funeral business and bundle it with its obituary ads and old aged home biz.

https://www.drwealth.com/sph-sgxt39-seeking-a-saviour-in-sph-reit-aged-care-and-student-accommodation-but-outlook-is-bleak/ A dated but still relevant write up. Overall conclusion - bleak with no light at end of tunnel. Seems like everything they touch turn bad from old aged homes to student...
