17 cartons of Cadbury chocolates were stolen. (Representative image) In a bizarre robbery, around 150 cartons of Cadbury chocolates were allegedly stolen by a gang of thieves from a godown in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow. Rajendra Singh Sidhu, the owner of the Cadbury godown is a well-known distributor of the popular chocolate brand in the state capital. Some boxes of biscuits and a video recorder of CCTVs were also reportedly among the loot. The businessman has filed a police complaint where he said that the godown in the Chinhat area was actually his old house which was temporarily being used as a godown. He added that all the stock stored in the house was to be distributed to retailers. On Tuesday, Sidhu received a call from his old house’s neighbour who informed him about a broken lock at his house. Upon reaching the spot, he found that the whole godown had been emptied out.

Hextar group boss continues acquisition spree
This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly, on August 1, 2022 - August 07, 2022. Ong has been active in the local corporate scene over the past few years. (Photo by Mohd Izwan Mohd Nazam/The Edge) - A + A CHEMICAL products distributor Hextar Global Bhd, the flagship company of Datuk Eddie Ong Choo Meng, is selling its manufacturing plant and the land on which it sits to KIP Real Estate Investment Trust (KIP REIT), in which Ong has a stake as well. Hextar Global, which bought the land in Klang in October 2005 for RM12.58 million, will lease back the assets after the sale. The company explains that the RM27 million sale is to unlock asset value and reduce its funding requirements. Nonetheless, Hextar Global’s asset sale is not that big a deal compared with that of its controlling shareholder Ong.

Spandex demand stretches profits at Hyosung TNC
Hyosung Group Chairman Cho Hyun-joon Hyosung TNC, the Hyosung Group's spandex manufacturer, saw nearly 500 percent growth in net last year as demand boomed and the company's increased manufacturing capacity fulfilled it.

Today’s ‘Heardle’ Answer And Clues For Thursday, August 18
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Hey there! I hope you’re having a fantastic day. A quick recommendation: if you feel comfortable doing so, get out and see some live music. I had a blast at a Franz Ferdinand show this week and am thinking about going to see Rammstein this weekend. The artist behind today’s Heardle song is nothing like either of those bands, but if you could use some help, I’ve got some clues coming your way, along with the answer. If this is your first time trying to figure out the game’s daily track, here’s how to play Heardle : You will hear the first second of a reasonably well-known song. You’ll then try to guess the artist and title or skip your turn. If you skip or guess incorrectly, you’ll get to hear a little more of the song. The game continues until the sixth and final guess, at which point you’ll hear 16 seconds of the track. Even if you’re a Heardle veteran, it may have been some time since you last played the game. … [Read more...] about Today’s ‘Heardle’ Answer And Clues For Thursday, August 18
