British activist investor seeks to disrupt Singapore takeover

Quick Summary:

Palliser, OCBC, the MAS and SGX declined to comment on the Great Eastern campaign.

Great Eastern, which has more than S$100bn (US$73bn) in assets and 16mn policyholders in Singapore and Malaysia, has been part-owned by OCBC since 1958.
