How can annual general meetings (AGMs) here be made more effective?
Have two areas for AGMs. One for serious shareholders and another hall with TV monitors at several points and a buffet spread, so others can watch the proceedings and eat at the same time.

Remove the buffet so that people who attend are genuinely there to contribute.

Directors of listed companies must be honest in their meetings and leave nothing hidden, even if the company is not doing well...
Many small-time investors often do not get to know the reasons for a stock's sudden rise or fall until it is too late.

Is premarital sex still a concern in today's society? Does it hurt marriages or relationships?
Any sex outside of marriage... will definitely impact the marital relationship negatively, though the extent will vary from one couple to another.
If anything, there is the fear that a partner may have contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD).
- Charis Mun
The concept of sexual "purity" is outdated... There is no hard evidence of premarital sex affecting relationships and marriages.
- Chris Low
We should aim to educate people about sex and the human body, instead of making the topic taboo.
When people are not well informed about something, bad things are more likely to happen.
- Mason Lim
Not if both people take proper precautions and are old enough...
Not sure why premarital sex should hurt marriages or relationships, aside from the possibility of getting STDs or having to pay child support, as a consequence of previous sexual relationships.
