THE following companies saw new developments that may affect trading of their securities on Thursday (Jul 21):

Chip Eng Seng : The property developer is terminating all sale contracts under its planned mixed-use development, 28 Lyall South Perth, as it has been unable to engage a builder “on terms which are financially viable” in view of rising costs.
