Corporate Governance
In the wake of the Enron debacle and the exit of the
California Public Employees’ Retirement System
(Calpers) from several countries in the region citing
reasons including lack of transparency, there have
been calls for higher standards of corporate disclosure
and governance to protect shareholders.

As part of the STI, Keppel Land also became a
component stock of the STI tracker fund or exchangetraded
