Asked to comment on the prospect of ACS in view of the world financial crisis and economic turnover, the Chairman Denny Wong said, “The nature of the current financial crisis and economic slowdown on a worldwide scale seems to be unprecedented in human history. Thus the potential impact cannot be fathomed presently.
