Demco.off the radar until WEH list agreed. WEH i think still have one more legal dispute outstanding

It does look like it.

Pradej has completely eliminated the KPN influence in WEH at both the board level and executive level. If he can work his magic a 3rd time like he did with Demco and Super then I think Demco will rise again. I’ve accumulated back what I’d sold at 2 baht less per share, I see some value here in the mid 3 baht range.
Pon
Agreed. Cheap as chips. Rubbish management, they should just shut down the core business, sell off their land assets and live off the dividends from WEH. Would immediately 2-3x the value of the company.
