though unrelated here, I would appreciate your answer regarding my question on SingPost. I am surprised to read, in its annual report, that the Group CEO Dr Wolfgang Baier got paid S$1.25 million, in addition to share option worth S$435K. That is much more than the total remuneration of all directors put together, including Chairman Lim Ho Kee. Do you know the logic of this remuneration structure?
