From a reputation perspective, it's a sure win bet. If he succeeds, he will be lauded as a never give up savior who turned things around. If he fails, he will be a tragic hero who went down with the flames. Seen enough of public/corporate politicians to smell this BS from a mile away.
Your comment reminds me I was once in a team where a peer mgmt member make a hoohaa of issue his team created, he then solved it for doing his job. And all the management staffs will praise him and gave him a pat on his back for job well done.....this is insanity.

Isn't that what's going on in USA??
Sooner or later the world is going to congrats him on solving the mess he created (even if he solved a tiny portion of the huge mess).

Agree mostly except I’m not sure on “sure win bet”. I’ve seen people take the easy way out too. Cleaning after own crap also takes time and effort, but at least these people are 1 level higher than those who let others clean their crap.

Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s state investor, is reportedly considering the acquisition of equity stakes in listed groups Marco Polo Marine and Ezion Holdings through its unit Heliconia Capital Management, according to an account by The Business Times. The transaction will apparently see Heliconia Capital purchase UOB Bank’s 10.29 per cent stake in Marco Polo, as well as injecting capital into liftboat-focused Ezion Holdings.

Ezion restructuring is also complete.
I think the Singapore O&G saga is over after Temasek came in to backstop

In its latest annual report of MPM, there is one interesting observation- Heliconia Capital, the Temasek Subsidary does not have its name appearing in the annual report. This means they probably offloaded their stake bought at 3.5 cents from UOB within a short time and walked away with profits.
I am willing to bet Temasek's subsidiary did the same for Ezion where they subscribed and then quickly offloaded it to retailers. Let's wait for its annual report in April

Probably not much profits for Pavilion leh. They bought in Feb, even with their declared sale of their stake from 5+ to 3+ percent, they probably didnt made much, and now with the share price down to 2 cents. They at most break even, or even lose with their remaining stake.
