MY money is on SQ.
As awesome as this would be, would Singapore have to establish a HK Entity through an investment with a local stooge playing the part of fat-cat business owner with at least 34% on paper? Not saying it is not doable, but CX would go ape. Should make for some good reading in the SCMP / Standard though. I'm happy to be the stooge, but I'll need someone to front my capital contribution.
