Does anyone know what is the difference between Ex-Date and Buy-In Last Cum date?

I was scrolling through CapitaLand Dividend announcement and I realised that the Ex-date is the same as the Buy-In Last cum date and I was wondering what is the difference between the two.

If you want the dividend, you should buy when the ticker shows CD or cum dividend.

If you want to sell the shares but still want the dividend, you should sell when the ticker shows XD.

If you buy when it is XD, you are not entitled to the dividend.

Anyone knows the difference between dividends / entitlement / rights? (Eg ex-entitlement date?)?

I have bought OCBC stocks using CPF before ex-div date and sold them before payment date. Dividend Payment date for OCBC is 5th June 2020, but i have not received it yet. Anyone know why?

There is a lot of talk on stocks but does anyone knows how bonds work in sgx? I understand that bonds have maturity dates. What happens when i buy a 10 year bond, at the 3rd year mark?

Any takes on Netlink Trust? Should I buy Netlink for its resilient 1H21 earnings? Ex-date for 2.53 cents dividend is next Tuesday. Worth holding for it?

Isn't it a guaranteed profit when traders short a stock before ex date and buy back on/after ex date since it is guaranteed that the stock price will fall on ex date?
