Tks if u can answer at least QN 2.

Give 1 lot will mean that they can meet that requirement and it is tougher to sell just 1 lot. Most will just hold on for the longer term and not sell on the first day
got 9000 from 20000 subcribed.
If it is just window dressing to give semblance of share mkt robustness/ transparency (many shareholding participants), than the law is SHAM.
Are there too many loopholes in SGX/IPO rules???!!!
Many tks if U can answer my question😀.
Got 22lots sold @0.86....
