The acquisition was finalised following the approval of the Monetary Authority of Singapore. ‘The journey towards acquisition began back in 2012 when Sam and I decided to formally enter into a partnership. It made sense, our business values were aligned and we shared the same vision for our companies. It has taken us a while, but we are here now and both excited for what the future holds,’ said Mr. Honan.
