The gross revenue has dropped slightly as compared to the previous quarter but the NPI is similar. The COVID-19 restriction (stabilization phase from 27 Sep to 21 Nov) in Singapore is expected to continue to affect the performance. However, with the possible easing of restriction and border re-opening to more countries, performance should be improved moving forward.
