SINGAPORE - Economist Song Seng Wun was all set to take part in a panel discussion at the Singapore Exchange annual Active Traders Fair on Feb 22 until the coronavirus stepped in and led to the event being cancelled.At least he is not alone. There have been a growing number of postponements or cancellations of corporate events here, particularly those with large mainland Chinese participation, as more countries impose border controls and other containment measures.
"This includes the Maybank-Reitas-SGX S-Reit Day in Kuala Lumpur , Annual Networking luncheon and Reit Management course . We will try to re-schedule... when the virus situation clears," Reitas said, adding that it has not decided on its March events. "We expect smaller groups of visitors to the events held not just at Singapore Expo & Max Atria, but across Singapore."
The Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers also did not provide the number of cancellations and postponements of events. A financial analyst who declined to be named told the ST that at least one investment expo slated for early March here, and which her firm was supposed to have sponsored, has been postponed as its organisers are from China and subject to travel restrictions.
