THOUGH December tends to be a quiet time for most corporates, for Singapore Post it has been anything but.

Having kicked off the month with the shock resignation of its widely lauded CEO, the postal and e-commerce group looks set to end it with a bunch of unresolved corporate governance questions that centre on its failure to properly disclose a director's conflict of interest in at least one deal.

Then again, SingPost might be no stranger to such issues. For one thing, this is not the first time the group has found itself scrambling to name a CEO successor.
