RadX Moderator August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 I din know CNA peepur read MCF oso...see the key words!!! SINGAPORE - Mainboard-listed tourism company Straco Corporation has agreed to buy the troubled Singapore Flyer for $140 million in cash. The acquisition "represents an expansion of the group's core tourism related business," Straco told the Singapore Exchange on Thursday. The Flyer, which cost $240 million to build, came under the spotlight in May last year when the company behind the now six-year-old attraction was placed in receivership. It was later put up for sale, with advertisements appearing in major newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal in the United States. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/business/companies/story/straco-corp-inks-deal-buy-singapore-flyer-140-million-20140828#xtor=CS1-10 hmm..maybe @throttle2 is the CEO ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damienic 5th Gear August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 When the news that Zouk is finding a new home, my immediate thoughts is "hell, why can't they move to Singapore Flyer?" The VIP area will be the capsules.. Bring girls go up and "havoc" for 45 mins.. You are spot on. The zouk owner did considered moving to the Flyer.

Vhtfhwlego Supercharged August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 Those people who really know the history of Singapore Flyer would say, it's a forceful take over. Flyer itself is not making money however, the revenue from the rentals is. Looking at the rental revenue surpassed the flyer revenue, just a flip of a pen, make it bankrupt. Less costly to take over.

Davidklt 6th Gear August 28, 2014 Share August 28, 2014 It is not. Its actually paid by private investors. If it is owned by the government, why would it go into receivership at the first place? what's there to think about? the money is paid for by taxpayers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
