Check out these weak links that badgered Sheng Siong's Q1 performance

Its revenue growth was offset by the flattish same store sales.

Sheng Siong reported a decent set of results for the past quarter, with its revenue inching up 4.1% to $217m.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Sheng Siong's performance might have been more stellar without the group's comparable same store sales (SSSG).

This was driven by three things. For one, the brokerage firm cited Sheng Siong saying that a few stores located in areas near the oil and gas industry were affected.

Meanwhile the group's 9,800-sq ft. Block 506 Tampines was closed for renovation. To recall, the group is aiming to expand this site to 25,000 sq ft.

The last headache for the company was the inevitably slow performance at the Woodlands store that is slated for closure by the end of August this year.

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.
