FORMER Links Island Holdings chairman Chong Thim Pheng sold his entire
directly owned stake of 5 million shares in HG Metal Manufacturing on
Thursday. No pricing information was disclosed, but all the
transactions were done on the open market. Mr Chong, who no longer
holds the 3.78 per cent stake in steel stockist HG Metal, is still
deemed to be interested in a 6.66 per cent stake held by his wife,
Links Island deputy managing director Cynthia Tan Kwee Hiang. HG Metal
shares closed at 67.5 cents yesterday, up one cent or 1.5 per cent. One
day after selling his HG Metal shares, Mr Chong bought 300,000 shares
in Swissco International. His shareholding in Swissco now stands at
5.59 per cent from 5.39 per cent previously. Swissco shares closed flat
at 29 cents yesterday.
