RadX Moderator May 28, 2013 Share May 28, 2013 It had to happen sooner or later! din see it being that big an attraction? what next? roller coaster? Accounting firm Ferrier Hodgson has been appointed as the receiver and manager of the company's charged assets. PHOTOS Singapore Flyer (ROSLAN RAHMAN/AFP FILES/AFP) EnlargeCaption SINGAPORE: The Singapore Flyer is in receivership. Accounting firm Ferrier Hodgson has been appointed as the receiver and manager of the company's charged assets. Still it's business as usual at the giant wheel. Ferrier Hodgson said it is looking into identifying investors to manage and enhance the Singapore Flyer, and will ensure smooth operations at the Flyer throughout the receivership. The Flyer has been an icon of the Singapore skyline since 2008. The Singapore Tourism Board said it reserves its rights as landlord and will be closely engaging the various parties involved to ensure the best possible outcome that enhances the tourism sector. It adds that it looks forward to a smooth resolution with minimal disruption to visitors. - CNA/de ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxilplix Turbocharged May 28, 2013 Share May 28, 2013 Perhaps they should forget about profits for once (gasp!) and just let STPB run the place with the aim to break even and cover maintenence/regular upgrading costs since it's "part of the singapore skyline", a "tourist attraction" and the usual wayang b-------t reasons.
