SINGAPORE'S mainboard-listed Advanced Holdings' compass is finally set for a big turn towards palm oil after the engineering services and equipment provider for the oil and gas sector won shareholders' go-ahead last week to acquire a minority share of Indonesian-based Agricore Global for S$15 million.
