PS. Some of you may have heard of DBS restructuring its stock trading
operation. I would be moving to Lim & Tan when everything is confirmed. I
will transfer all the clients that would want to join me to Lim & Tan and
all their shares and whatever would also be transferred over. The transfer
process would be as smooth and transparent, and there will be minimal
disruption to trading. Will keep you people inform of further development.

Cheers
