D-Day for battle of Datapulse's Ngs
At Friday's EGM, odds are stacked against disgruntled minority shareholders
Singapore

At the heart of this no-holds-barred fight - if one strips out the back and forth trading of salvos that has oft-times turned ugly - is mistrust over the company's plans to utilise some S$84 million cash, a bulk of which was amassed from the sale of its factory and headquarters at Tai Seng Drive in January.
