x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Try setting up a dormitory for foreign workers and see if there are barriers to entry. Singapore' s construction industry is slowing down due to the current oversupply of flats, but BTO constructions are still in progress and HDB has the responsibility to delivery them by the delivery possession dates,   which may well extend to 4 years from now. Up till then, foreign construction workers are still very much needed here. Not to mention the construction of the MRT lines that extend beyond 2020. If you want to sell just sell, but don' t spread false rumours here. These are facts here to stay in the long term. BlueDogMeow      ( Date: 06-Sep-2014 10:02) Posted: Even if insiders are in-the-know, they probably would not let the world know of their deterioriating business moat.  This business has no barrier of entries, low return on invested capital and even with these factors, have an artifically high operating margin. If you include the fact that Centurion is mssively levered, this is a recipe for disaster.  SeaOfRed      ( Date: 05-Sep-2014 22:01) Posted: Read the CIMB research on Centurion and found it really interesting. Why only publish this after all brokerage houses called BUY? What is the ulterior motive of this CIMB report? Shouldn't the directors and substantial shareholders who are "in-the-know" be more informed on the direction of the business? Sounds more like a conspiracy for buying in cheap.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Official Opening of Westlite Mandai Dormitory, on 18 April 2014 Key Extracts from Opening remarks by Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, Minister for Manpower "Dormitories like Westlite Mandai play an important role for foreign workers here. Developments such as this complement the Singapore government?s efforts to ensure that the well-being of foreign workers is taken care of, and enable employers to fulfil their obligation to provide appropriate accommodation to these workers. We appreciate the foreign workers? contribution to Singapore?s continuing growth and development. It is only right that they are properly taken care of in the course of their employment here." "In particular, by having facilities that cater not only to workers? basic living requirements, but also their social and recreational needs, dormitory developers and operators such as LianBeng and Centurion demonstrate that they shoulder a higher social mission." "Thus, as we provide foreign workers with basic accommodation, we must not neglect their social and recreational needs. Westlite has done well in this respect ? the dormitory features good recreational facilities like a gym, games room and sports courts. And Westlite also organises social activities and events for residents on an on-going basis. I would encourage other dormitories, especially the larger, purpose-built ones, to also look into how they too can fulfil the needs of their foreign worker residents." If you are worried about gahmen not renewing the lease, then gahmen will be striking their own feet with rocks. This is an endorsement from our manpower minister. Let's just watch what happens and stop creating a mirage of fear in this counter.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	The gahmen leases are very short, like 3 years. What happens when leases expire and gahmen do not renew? Would the buildings become a gift to the gahmen or worse still, have to be torn down? And re-instated back to bare land? I don' t have the answers. Someone please kindly respond if he has the answer.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	I have observed in the past how the A team of Han and Loh works. They seldom rescue a dying stock. Like all those s-chips. Just let them die. Centurion is not an s-chip. Would be interesting to see what they do this time.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Divested but remains in my watch list. Should it hit 55 cents - which I hope not for the sake of those vested - I will buy again.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Doubt so. With such low volume anything can happen. Especially with the completion of acquisition of UK accomodations. Past few days look like a deliberate attempt to bring the price down.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	If close at or above 0.615 today, likely to see a rebound. I' m still hoping some more throw down to me at 0.6.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Teo Peng Kwang (the COO)  bought 661,000 shares at 0.625 on 28 Aug. Teo bought another 1,000,000 shares at 0.625 on 29 Aug. This brings his stake in the company up from 7.23% to 7.45%.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Wondering why the CEO never bought the shares when they were trading at 20 cents for almost 1.5 years. Now after Han ans Loh sold 5% to Lian Beng then CEO started buying shares at such an elevated price of 62 cents (but very very small quantity, rather meaningless). What message are they trying to send? And the barrier to entry for the workers dormitories is surprisingly low. And they also have to pray that the government renews their very short term lease like 3 years upon expiry.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Obviously the person who valued it at 0.42cents is only dividing the current share price by the Price-to-Book value, and not taking into account the future growth potential of this company. RoundRound      ( Date: 31-Aug-2014 20:26) Posted: You mean all those broking house analysts having a TP of around 90c to 1 dollar is dead wrong in their expert analysing, I think I see at least 3 large broking houses having such TP of above 90c SeaOfRed      ( Date: 31-Aug-2014 19:47) Posted: Nice. Short it down please.
