    AS GLOBAL markets convulsed on Monday (Aug 5), one of my colleagues said to me: “I wonder what will happen to the SGX revival plan.”

    The move came three months after a Financial Times report said there had been a “shift in thinking” in Singapore about the importance of a thriving stock market to its standing as a global hub for business and finance.
