How SIAS Became Singapore’s Champion For Minority Shareholders

In this episode of our DollarsAndSense Podcast Heritage Series, we uncover how the Securities Investors Association of Singapore (SIAS) became the champion for minority shareholders. Join us as we speak with David Gerald, founder and CEO of SIAS, about the 1999 Clob saga, where 172,000 Singapore investors had their Malaysian stocks frozen, and how SIAS fought against unfair deals to protect retail investors.

Drawing on the profound insights from SIAS’s acclaimed book, Boardroom Knockout, which served as the foundation for much of our discussion, we delve into the gripping story behind SIAS’s book, "Boardroom Knockout: How Singapore’s Investor Watchdog Fights for Minority Investors". This book reveals the intense world of shareholder activism where battles are often fought in the boardroom. Through remarkable real-life examples, such as the China Aviation Oil scandal, the Hyflux crisis, and the Lehman Brothers minibond fallout, readers gain an insider’s perspective on how SIAS confronted some of Singapore’s most challenging corporate battles.
