OKP sees hit from lower construction demand
It will be prudent in share buybacks; plans to launch a second project, Phoenix Heights, in the second half of 2020, 'depending on prevailing market conditions'

The board confirmed, in a reply to investor queries on Saturday, that projects will be delayed on the back of Singapore's "circuit-breaker" measures, supply-chain disruptions to materials, and the spread of the deadly disease in foreign workers' quarters.
