Cycle and Carriage Ltd
Article Abstract:
Cycle and Carriage Ltd (CCL) is on the verge of acquiring 49% of Malayan Credit's shares with the possibility of a counter bid as the only obstacle. In a novel offer which encouraged Malayan Credit's bigger shareholders, CCL promised selected Malayan Credit shareholders that they wouldbe paid any difference between CCL's offer and any counter bids. The tactic interested many of the bigger shareholders immediately and lessened the chancesthat any counter bids might emerge. While this tactic has been trumpeted as a new approach in Asian takeovers, it has disadvantages for the small shareholder.

Island hopper
Article Abstract:
The Sembawang Group, a construction and engineering firm, is planning to develop Karimun Island in Indonesia into an industrial center. The industrial development plans include a deep-water port, petrochemical buildings, an industrial park, a floating dock and oil-storage terminals. The construction of oil-storage terminals may prove to be lucrative, owing to the island's strategic location, which makes it accessible to tankers passing through the Strait of Malacca. There is, however, no natural harbor in the island, and skilled labor is lacking because of the small population.
