Following the committee’s decision, YKA will now make a submission to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for the final registration approval for listing on the SZSE ChiNext Board.

“Although listing clearance from the committee has been obtained, there is no certainty that the proposed listing will proceed as the proposed listing is still subject to final registration approval by CSRC and prevailing market conditions, so shareholders and potential investors are accordingly advised to exercise caution when dealing with the securities of the company,” Wilmar said in an SGX filing.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
