Star Entertainment gets notice to end Queen's Wharf project stake selloff deal
The agreement was entered into by the parties with the embattled casino operator on March 7, with the termination set to take effect five business days from June 30, unless withdrawn earlier.
The agreement in March outlined the basis for the casino operator to exit its equity interest in Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC), but the parties did not reach an agreement on the outstanding commercial issues of the deal as of this morning, Star said in a statement on Monday.
Far East Consortium, in a separate statement, said Star is required to repay a total of A$10 million ($6.53 million) by no later than 30 days of the date of termination. If the said amount is not repaid within the period, Star will be required to instead transfer its 33.3 per cent interest in Tower 1 (Dorsett) to the Hong Kong parties, the property developer added.
($1 = 1.5305 Australian dollars)

It will be unlawful for employers to base hiring or firing decisions on characteristics such as nationality, sex or age. A survey of 200 managers by NTUC LearningHub revealed that one in three managers have heard of the legislation but do not know the full details of it, while nearly one in five have never heard of it.

Over 95% of migrant workers polled satisfied with working and living in Singapore: MOM
More migrant workers are satisfied with working and living in Singapore, with over 95% expressing satisfaction in a Manpower Ministry survey. This is up from eight in 10 in the previous survey in 2018, and the highest since the study began in 2011. The rise in satisfaction comes on the back of the COVID-19 pandemic, which spurred improvements in their living conditions. A majority of the migrant workers said they would recommend others to work in Singapore, while nearly 97% also intend to continue working in the country when their current contract expires. The survey polled over 2,800 migrant workers and over 2,200 employers between October 2023 and February 2024.
