    THE manner in which the looming trading suspension of Great Eastern is resolved could shape the attitude of investors towards other tightly owned and deeply undervalued blue-chip companies.

    Among them are beverage maker Fraser and Neave (F&N) and its sister company Frasers Property (FPL).

    Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi owns about 87 per cent of both companies through various entities, including Thai Beverage. F&N and FPL’s most recent annual reports put their free floats at just 12 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively.
