They can emulate Commie China and set up the Great Internet Firewall. And anyone caught using VPN goes to jail.

Like most counters, SPH share price is taking a beating. Analysts are predicting 1.50 as a possibility. But unlike other counters, SPH will struggle to recover, long after the pandemic is over. Newspaper advertisers who have stopped advertising this period may never return after getting accustomed to not relying on print. As it is, print advertising revenue has been on sharp decline even before the pandemic. The reality is no one, with the exception of a few die hards like retirees, is reading newspapers anymore.

Take for instance the pandemic. During this period, we are relying on social media and online platforms to get the latest updates. Foreign news portals like South China Morning Post provide more incisive and critical reporting than the Straits Time and Zaobao. Local portals like Mothership have up their game and are producing quality journalism, putting its views across, and asking tough questions of the government, such as should a general election be held in the midst of a health crisis, something the mainstream media like SPH is incapable of doing.

One of the haunting outcomes of this prolonged crisis for SPH is Singaporeans will become even more adept and comfortable in getting their news and opinion pieces from online sources other than the local mainstream media. This is a double whammy for SPH when both advertisers and readers wake up one day and realise they can do without the Straits Times, Zaobao and all the other papers. Despite SPH's efforts in recent years to come up with their own online edition of the hardcopy, the content remains more or less the same and are not getting traction with the younger generation. Therein, lies the big problem for SPH.

Maybe SPH will sell its malls, like how NOL sold its building at Alexandra Road.

Its already in the reits.

SPH is the in-house newsletter of the PAP.
The party is just using shareholders money to
publish crap for their ownself - to "check" ownself
how good a job they are doing.

As my boss used to say, when you start believing
your own press releases, you have a problem. Soon.

Poor translation quality aside, the implicit support for GE during the current crisis is irresponsible journalism.

 

[LaoTze]

You can't profit from lies forever.

But they profited for a very very very long time on their lies
Year after year after year
And they all go laughing and laughing all the way to their fucking banks.

Closed 1.58, Friday, a new low. 1.50 looking more likely possibility now.

 

[SalahParking]

SPH difficult to bail out...no single large shareholders.

Hope it drops below a dollar.

Inevitable if their property business crashes!

SPH will probably sell off its malls, which are quite frankly, not very well managed. Personally I quite like Lendlease malls... there is something about Capitaland malls that really annoys me... can't put my finger on it.

Not possible to sell SPH company due to unique Newspaper Act of Singapore. As a last resort, Temasek may delist the company and convert the editorial business into a statutory body like mediacorp. The corporate part of the business can be spun off into a separate media selling company. Or merge with mediscorp to form an integrated sale force.

Looks like their website paywalls didn't work too well eh?

I think SPH CEO is too small a job for Ng Yat Chung. He should be the PM of the cuntry.

I am actually surprised those general holding commercial company ceo post.
After company not performing he transfer to another one.
His career path really super good
