  "summary": "Over the five trading sessions from September 11 to September 17, directors and substantial shareholders engaged in a total of 18 acquisitions and 6 disposals across 40 primary-listed stocks. Among these, CEOs and directors reported 18 acquisitions and six disposals, while substantial shareholders recorded nine acquisitions and eight disposals. The buyback activity was led by Singtel and Keppel, with a combined consideration of S$101 million. Notably, Tang Ying, executive director of All-Link, acquired 2.3 million shares on-market for S$1.2 million on September 14, increasing her direct interest to 57.94 per cent. This purchase came just days after All-Link reported a 38.2 per cent year-on-year revenue increase for the first half of its 2026 financial year, driven by organic volume growth and the initial full six-month contribution from its Malaysia operations.",
