You don't need to get married first only then buy a house. If you can afford to buy a house before you get married, why not? Don't be so onion la. Although onion sedap in karibap.

Onionchong, I can't speak for AT. Money wise. There are no news that is saying AT need more money for the 13 lines now. I can only assume that they have enough money for that. Plus they confirm on media that in June, all 13 lines will be completed.
AT has a habit to diversify their businesses too and this is not new.
If you have invested in AT because of glove, try to hold until June and see how it goes because that is the main picture after all. If your heart cannot take because of management decision, you know you must exit.

I can't answer if it is a wiser decision or not. I am not part of the management.
I am just an investor that compiles as much information as possible into a piece of article for us then it is up to each one of us to decide to continue or not.

Jjyeo, all these info that i gotten may be obvious to you. However it is also for those who could not find these info. And yes, i want the share to go up as much as another AT investor because AT shows progression day by day. Nothing wrong with this mindset.

Has worked in Persoft tower back in 2018. The condition of the public facilities is very bad there eg. toilet is not properly maintained, ladies would be afraid to go in there haha! Even the single mamak restaurant in the whole building looks like your prison canteen.
Location wise? If not driving, have to walk to nearby bus sign then take the bus to train station. Very few restaurants nearby, got a club next door, another skyscrapper building in construction nearby. Good thing is surrounding area is a quiet neighborhood.

You're just describing what people already knew. You failed to explain why AT spent so much to purchase a commercial building (unrelated to its business) instead of spending on glove production? They haven't even started to generate revenue from gloves and now they're diverting their money to something totally unrelated to their business. What a joke.
