    THE origin story of Second Chance Properties dates back to 1975, when its founder and chief executive Mohamed Salleh started a tailoring business that lasted only four months.

    By the company’s account, Salleh restarted the business a few months later and named it Second Chance.

    This past week – on Jul 10 – Salleh made an unconditional offer for Second Chance Properties at S$0.30 per share via a special purpose vehicle called Final Chance Holdings.
