Straco announced that its insurance claim for SG Flyer stoppage is facing resistance from insurer due to exclusion clauses (Haha...insurers!). From investor pt of view, not a big issue as it is a one-off event.

Straco had $193 million cash (net cash:$146 m) as at end 1Q2018. With SG Flyer up and running, by end-2Q, cash should go past $200 million. The market cap is $650 million, valuing the operating assets at only $500 m when they generate about $50 m profit annually.

First time in a long time: buying up in decent volume. And closing at 80 cents.

"the Group has implemented various cost cutting measures, which include trimming of wage cost, with head office senior management taking the biggest pay cut of 30% to 50% with effect from 1 April 2020."

That's a very sharp cut. In fact, 50% is the highest % cut I have heard of during this Covid period.
Who's taking the hit? My guess is the chairman, since we can't expect anyone else below to do so. So,the Chairman drew $1.5 m in total remuneration for FY2019, according to the AR. His annual fixed salary was ard $1m in 2019.
