If a company really needs money then a rights issue is much more fair, all investors will have the opportunity to participate, and those we don't want to can sell their rights in the market.
When a company's major shareholders are engaged in a battle for control and the company announces a PP, then alarm bells should go off.
Lay Hong is such a company, which announced a large private placement, combined with a substantial SIS (Share Issue Scheme).
I am also not a fan of SIS or ESOS either, I would prefer a system where employees receive a bonus for hitting some long term targets. That seems much more transparent (for shareholders) and fair (for employees).
