You could be in luck if you are one of the 89,000 who have unclaimed dividends or shares with the Singapore Exchange (SGX).
These shares and dividends are worth $68.3 million - and the bourse operator wants to disburse them to the rightful owners.
The biggest amount - $53.7 million - is in the form of dividends to the 74,000 investors who did not cash out their cheques. The SGX is safe-keeping the money for the time-being.
Another $14.6 million is in the form of SingTel shares and dividends belonging to 15,000 people without Central Depository (CDP) accounts. These people had bought the SingTel shares during the 1993 initial public offering, on the initial understanding that they would later open CDP accounts for the shares to be transferred in.
