2) OCBC Monthly Blue Chip Investment Plan
You can also invest on SI ETF via standard Chartered online brokerage or DBS vickerss cash upfront.
For your odd lots, i will advise biting the bullet and sell them. There will be a $40 comission feeβββ

Odd lots-wise, you can consider buying more to make it into a whole number before selling off or just leaving it there to collect dividends and maybe apply rights issue if the company does introduce one
