  1. To prove being misled can be quite tricky.

  5. I would urge investors not to be overjoyed with this news. If you have read Mr.Tan blog with the investors feedback, most have stated that the bank said they have no case!

  8. If DBS Hong KOng compensated the investors, then, even DBS Singapore does not do the same, it is still good for Singapore investors, as we can use this as a prove of our case, when we go to court.

  12. DBS is going to get a very serious backlash from this not extending the offer to Singaporeans. The message it sends is very clear in regards to how it treats its customers relating to how much power they have. Darn, seems like there are almost no banks left with integrity.
