    LIFTED by a gain from the sale of part of the group's investment in insurer New China Life, Great Eastern Holdings posted a 14 per cent year-on-year rise in second-quarter net profit to S$277.7 million.

    The improvement was primarily due to the S$119.9 million (post-tax) gain from the sale.
