Due to Labour Day Policy, I am also taking a day off from blogging. But before I log off, here's something for your holiday:
The Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) recently rejected a submission from 2 companies filing for M&A. SGX officials deemed the new company's name to be too inappropriate. The 2 companies concerned are Lum Chang Holdings & Har Par Limited.
The new entity's name: Lum Par!
NYSE recently also turned down a similar submission, this time a M&A between 2 national couriers, FedEx & UPS. The proposed company: Fed-Up.
Imagine hearing someone says, "I'm a Fed-up employee!"
I just heard that Motorola is going to merge with Enron.
This time, they're planning to call the new company... yeah...you guessed it correctly...
"Moron!"
P.S.: More on Lum Par Holdings when I get back after the holiday!
Watch this space!

Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.
