$Straits Trading(S20)$  ‌Straits Trading owns 3.9% stake in ESR. ESR is going for privatisation. From my calculations this will nett Straits Trading about S$341M. This is almost equal to half their market capitalisation of 6xxM.


From past history, there is a strong likelihood that Straits Trading will give out a special dividend from this corporate action. That means a possible special dividend of S$0.75 for shareholders. 


Also Straits Trading has an exciting development in Penang Butterworth to develop a new waterfront CBD district. 


Several catalysts in play now to unlock and enhance shareholder value.

    dont think they will distribute 0.75, half of their current share price as dividend.
