    THE Greek government is priming investors for another cliffhanger on June 5.

    While Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras's spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis insisted on Monday that the government will pay salaries and pensions due at the end of this month, he refused to be drawn in on whether the administration will be able to find the roughly 300 million euros (S$442 million) it's due to pay the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the end of next week.
