Directors absconding with millions in their pockets, foreign agents looking to destabilise companies, and thousands of individuals staring at a lifetime of savings gone. For the Securities Investors Association (Singapore), or SIAS, these are the crises it has had to deal with regularly. Founded by the indomitable David Gerald, the association was created in 1999 to fight for 172,000 investors in Singapore who had billions of savings frozen by the Malaysian government. It has since grown from a small group of individuals to a movement of thousands that fights for and protects the rights of minority shareholders.<\/p>\n

The association has battled many more rounds against other heavyweights in high-profile scandals that have dogged Singapore\u2019s financial sector. From the China Aviation Oil scandal to the meltdown of Hyflux to the Lehman Brothers minibond saga, SIAS has been at the heart of the corporate action, representing minority shareholders who would have otherwise been voiceless.<\/p>\n

Boardroom Knockout: How Singapore\u2019s Investor Watchdog Fights for Minority Investors\u00a0<\/em>tells a story of unique shareholder activism, one where the fights are in the boardroom and not the courtroom. The book brings readers the inside story behind the scandals, while showing how activists went toe-to-toe with the biggest corporations in Singapore.<\/p>\n
