On December 22, $SingPost(S08.SI)$ issued a statement announcing the dismissal of CEO Vincent Phang, CFO Vincent Yik, and Head of International Business Li Yu after investigating reports received earlier this year. Following the announcement, stock plunged by 10% on the same day.
1. What leads to the dismissal?
The incident stemmed from a report received by the company, claiming that its international e-commerce logistics parcel business was engaged in improper operations. Some employees were accused of manually altering the delivery status codes to avoid penalties that could be triggered by customer contracts.
The investigation revealed that this misconduct reflected serious managerial and supervisory negligence at the senior levels.
2. Have you ever felt frustrated with SingPost's service?
Although SingPost emphasized that its business operations were unaffected, many Singaporeans voiced their dissatisfaction. Some netizens hope that this incident will lead to improvements in postal services, as the current service has too many issues.
For example, deliveries are not made to the door, and parcels get lost. Deliveries are also often late. One person was told their package had arrived, but the package only appeared at their doorstep days later.
Compared to China’s convenient logistics services $J&T EXPRESS-W(01519)$ , Singapore Post’s services are indeed lacking.
3. What's next? Possible to rebound?
Investors are more interested in "how to prevent this from happening again" rather than "what's next."
The appointment and dismissal of the CEO naturally have a significant impact on stock prices.
For example, $Starbucks(SBUX)$, which had been experiencing a prolonged decline, saw its stock rise significantly after hiring the former CEO of $Chipotle Mexican Grill(CMG)$. If Singapore Post can appoint a capable and reputable CEO, the 7% drop from last week could likely rebound in a single day.
Do you think this round of dismissals will improve Singapore Post’s business operations?
Would you consider buying the dip?
Which postal service company do you prefer to use?

It's was quite annoying when you rejected them they still come back and ask your why. Please come take a look. Give me 5 min of your time. Etc @MHh @SPOT_ON @SR050321 have you encountered before?
I am optimistic about this organisation once a new CEO is hired to lead it with a new vision. Its share price will rise.
Just a personal perspective only. I may be proven wrong.
I'm not sure believe is due to the postman. Some of them don't understand English and having poor working attitude.
