i've been digging around here but no idea who it could be though.. the obvious candidates would be the Ng family (huge property people) or the Khoo family (owned a large chunk of Standard Chartered Bank here but have since sold it to a quasi-gov't holding company).... it might not be a person/family but a group though.. wouldnt' be surprised if GIC or Tamasek Holding came up with the cash... come to think of it, Tamasek holdings does own a 19% of Stanchart who is our current shirt sponsors??
