die die must keep the scrip @1.255
Yes, More likely dual listing in Nasdaq because of US businesses nearer to customers and building more link and business connections in the US side.

If my surmise is indeed right, ballpark NASDAQ IPO price easily sgd2 to 2.5!! Now is heading to 170 to 180... WATCH 
Surmise that the Co is highly probable to engage Jefferies to explore NASDAQ Dual list....???
Here is some info from chatgbt about the FA:-
Corporate & Regulatory Profile
* Jefferies Singapore Limited (&ldquo JSL&rdquo ) is a Singapore-incorporated subsidiary of the global investment bank Jefferies. It holds a Capital Markets Services licence from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for:
* dealing in capital markets products,
* advising on corporate finance,
* and operates as an exempt financial adviser.
* MAS records show the entity is active and regulated, with CEO listed as Rehan Anwer. Registered office is at Ocean Financial Centre, Singapore.
* JSL was recently admitted by SGX as an Accredited Issue Manager (May 2025), which is relevant because SGX only accredits firms that satisfy listing sponsor and capital markets standards.
Reputation & Franchise Position
* Jefferies globally is considered a mid-to-upper tier independent investment bank with strong franchises in:
* ECM/DCM,
* healthcare,
* technology,
* restructuring,
* leveraged finance,
* and cross-border M& A.
* In Asia, Jefferies has been expanding aggressively over the last 3&ndash 5 years, especially in Southeast Asia and India. SGX&rsquo s accreditation announcement specifically noted &ldquo significant investment&rdquo into its Asia platform.
* Compared with bulge-bracket banks (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, UBS), Jefferies is generally viewed as:
* more entrepreneurial,
* more active in mid-cap transactions,
* and more willing to advise on complex or special situations.
its recent trajectory shows a fairly strong and expanding regional track record.
Key achievements and notable credentials include:
1. SGX Accredited Issue Manager Status (2025)
This is probably the most important recent milestone.
In May 2025, Jefferies Singapore Limited was admitted by SGX as an Accredited Issue Manager (AIM). That status is significant because:
* AIMs are gatekeepers for SGX listings,
* SGX conducts regulatory and capability assessments before approval,
* and only a limited number of banks/law firms hold this accreditation.
This effectively elevated Jefferies into Singapore&rsquo s recognised IPO/sponsor ecosystem.
2. Participation in Landmark Cross-Border Singapore Transactions
Jefferies has appeared on several notable regional ECM/M& A transactions.
One highlighted example:
* AvePoint&rsquo s Nasdaq&ndash SGX dual listing and follow-on offering, which FinanceAsia described as a landmark transaction for Singapore capital markets.
* Jefferies acted alongside UBS, Morgan Stanley and OCBC. The deal was recognised for execution innovation and cross-border structuring.
That matters because:
* dual-listings are operationally complex,
* and mandates involving US SEC + SGX coordination usually go to banks trusted for execution capability.
3. Strong Mid-Market / Growth Company Franchise
Jefferies globally has built a reputation for:
* founder-led companies,
* sponsor-backed deals,
* healthcare,
* technology,
* leveraged finance,
* and special situations.
In Asia, this has translated into:
* more active participation in Southeast Asian growth transactions,
* cross-border sell-side mandates,
* and private-capital advisory.
The market perception is generally:
* less bureaucratic than bulge brackets,
* more aggressive in winning mandates,
* stronger in entrepreneurial or non-traditional situations.
4. Expanding Southeast Asia Presence
Industry commentary and APAC deal data suggest Jefferies has been investing heavily into:
* Southeast Asia coverage,
* India,
* restructuring,
* infrastructure,
* and sponsor-backed transactions.
This aligns with:
* Singapore&rsquo s rise as an M& A and restructuring hub,
* and increasing PE activity in ASEAN.
5. Reputation in Restructuring & Special Situations
issuers sometimes choose Jefferies precisely because:
* they are more commercially aggressive,
* more flexible,
* and willing to work on unconventional mandates.
6. Competitive Positioning vs Singapore Incumbents
In Singapore specifically:
* Jefferies is still smaller than DBS/UBS/Citi in local ECM/DCM league tables,
* but increasingly competes for:
* cross-border mandates,
* sponsor-driven deals,
* tech/healthcare transactions,
* and mid-cap strategic advisory.
The SGX accreditation suggests regulators and the exchange view the platform as institutionally credible.
Market Reputation (Unofficial)
From industry chatter:
* compensation is considered strong,
* culture is viewed as intense/high-performance,
* execution standards are generally respected,
* but teams can be lean and demanding.
That &ldquo lean but aggressive&rdquo profile is fairly consistent with Jefferies globally.
Overall Assessment
The strongest signals in favour of Jefferies Singapore are:
* SGX Accredited Issue Manager approval,
* participation in increasingly sophisticated ASEAN deals,
* expanding APAC advisory footprint,
* and alignment with private capital / restructuring trends.
* cross-border transactions,
The clearest &ldquo keyman&rdquo behind the current Jefferies Singapore build-out appears to be Rehan Anwer.
Why he matters:
* He is the MAS-listed CEO of Jefferies Singapore Limited.
* He is also Co-Head of Asia Investment Banking at Jefferies.
* Industry sources indicate he was specifically recruited from Credit Suisse in 2023 as part of Jefferies&rsquo major Asia expansion push.
What makes him influential is less his public profile and more:
1. deep Southeast Asia relationships,
2. institutional credibility with MAS/SGX,
3. and the team migration he appears to have brought with him.
Why the market sees him as important
Before Jefferies:
* Rehan Anwer was:
* Southeast Asia CEO,
* Head of Southeast Asia Investment Banking & Capital Markets,
* and later Singapore CEO at Credit Suisse.
That is a very senior regional role.
This means he likely carried:
* sovereign and Temasek-linked relationships,
* ASEAN conglomerate coverage,
* PE sponsor connectivity,
* and senior regulator familiarity.
When Credit Suisse deteriorated globally during the UBS rescue period, Jefferies appears to have used him as a cornerstone hire to scale ASEAN operations quickly. Bloomberg reported Jefferies hired roughly 20 Asia bankers during that expansion, with Anwer becoming Asia IB co-head.
The probable &ldquo playbook&rdquo
The pattern looks deliberate:
* hire senior ex-Credit Suisse ASEAN rainmakers,
* bulk up Singapore,
* obtain SGX Accredited Issue Manager status,
* target mid-cap and cross-border ASEAN deals,
* and position Jefferies as an aggressive independent advisory house.
That strongly suggests Anwer is not merely an operational CEO &mdash he is likely one of the strategic architects of Jefferies&rsquo ASEAN expansion.
Other emerging senior names around the platform
Jefferies has also been hiring selectively around him:
* Felicity Chan (ex-Credit Suisse APAC ECM syndicate leadership),
* Jonathan Quek (ex-Citi ASEAN/real estate coverage head),
* and multiple senior trading/investment banking hires from CLSA/Citi/Credit Suisse.
This reinforces the view that:
* Jefferies Singapore is currently heavily talent-driven,
* and built around imported senior relationship bankers rather than legacy franchise dominance.
Practical interpretation
* Strong relationship network,
* proven regional banking pedigree,
* regulator familiarity,
* and apparent ability to recruit teams.
* regulators believe the platform has sufficient institutional depth beyond one individual.

Jeffries Singapore Limited has been appointed as financial advisor. ' Prejudicial' statement in announcement.

have taken profits myself for the time being.. as i dont want to discount the probability that the strategic review might be called off during the update on May 14th.
It has dragged for 2 months with no appointment of adviser which does not sit right with me.
so just to be on the safe side i have decided to profit take before the May 14th update.
DYODD, not a buy or sell call as i am not vested already. Just sharing

Inferring from recent actions and announcements, any knee-jerk selldown maybe an opportunity to nibble more for long term. I am more interested whether they can execute their deals on time and perish the ghost of past lawsuits disputes. Else there is no real cash into the coffers.
war restart soon
CSE Global will release its Interim Business Updates for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 after trading hours on 14 May 2026.
To me the ' prejudicial' statement is telling me that something is happening without saying something is happening. But that' s just me. Holding for the future happening.
Do take note that there is a married deal today @
Perhaps the future possibility seems not too distant after all..?
Judging from the exponential jump in their quarterly new order book in 1Q 2026, and this being a laggard behind the AI Semi Con frenzy rally for the past months, this will have further upside to catch up as the latter cannot power up without the magic of this EPC electrification expert. Expect it to be re-rated to the region of 1.8 to 2 is an understatement!

CSE Global secures $271.2 mil worth of new orders in 1QFY2026, 74.6% up y-o-y
CSE Global, a provider of electrification, communications and automation solutions, has secured $271.2 million worth of new orders in the 1QFY2026 ended March 31, 74.6% higher y-o-y.
The group&rsquo s electrification segment accounted for majority of the wins this quarter with orders totalling $177.8 million, 393% higher y-o-y. The wins were mainly driven by stronger demand for the segment&rsquo s solutions in the US.
The communications segment saw orders increase by 20.8% y-o-y to $76.9 million, while the order wins for the automation segment fell by 70.4% y-o-y to $16.4 million.
The wins brought the group&rsquo s ending order book for the quarter to $716 million, 16.2% higher y-o-y.
&ldquo The strong order momentum in 1QFY2026 reflects robust demand and our team&rsquo s ability to convert a healthy pipeline into tangible wins. Our priority is disciplined execution and timely delivery of these new contracts, while continuing to build on this momentum and pursue selective opportunities that align with our core capabilities,&rdquo says Lim Boon Kheng, managing director and CEO of CSE Global.
&ldquo With a healthy order book and tender pipeline, we remain cautiously optimistic about maintaining momentum into the coming quarters, even as macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds continue to evolve,&rdquo he adds.
Strategic review update
In a separate statement, the group announced that it is in the process of appointing a financial adviser to help with its strategic review, which is still in the &ldquo early stages&rdquo .
CSE Global first announced its intention to undertake a strategic review on March 5. The review came about after a request from the group&rsquo s controlling shareholder, Heliconia Capital Management, as well as a &ldquo non-binding, preliminary indicative expression of interest (EOI) from a party)&rdquo to discuss a &ldquo potential strategic transaction&rdquo .
The review, said the group then, seeks to maximise shareholder value. This includes, among others, &ldquo an analysis of strategic options available to the company and an analysis of possible transactions involving the company&rsquo s shares and/or all or part of the company&rsquo s business and assets&rdquo .
The demand and overhaul for energy and infrastructure grid in U.S. is so excessively high from the AI and Data Centre usage that it is not surprising that the co order book may quadruple in the coming months. The co mgt needs to evaluate the best options from various FA proposals. It should be out 🔜 ..
