Wilmar Share Price, Wilmar International Ltd., the world’s biggest palm-oil processing company, fell the most in Singapore trading in more than three years after reporting quarterly profit that missed analysts’ estimates.

The shares slumped 11 percent to S$5.22, their largest decline since Oct. 6, 2008, compared with a 1 percent drop in the benchmark Straits Times Index. Wilmar reported net income of $500 million in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with the $519.8 million average estimate of six analysts in a survey compiled by Bloomberg.

Wilmar’s palm and laurics business posted a 32 percent drop in pre-tax profit as demand from China, India and Europe weakened and margins contracted because of “unfavorable market conditions” in Asia’s two fastest-growing major economies, the company said in its earnings statement today. Returns from crushing oilseeds and grains in China remained “challenging.”

Whitney Houston Burial, Whitney Houston was laid to rest on Sunday in a private burial before family and close friends near her birthplace in Newark, New Jersey, more than a week after her sudden death shocked the world.

The pop star, whose powerful voice fuelled her rise to fame in the mid-1980s with self-titled albums that made her a global pop star, died in a Beverly Hills hotel room last week. She was found underwater in a bathtub, but an exact cause of death has yet to be determined.

Dozens of fans lined the edge of street barriers as the procession carrying Houston’s body drove by under tight security from a funeral home in Newark, New Jersey to the Forest Lawn cemetery in nearby Westfield where Houston’s body was buried next to her father.

“It was emotional,” Teresa Giannetta, 35, who lives in Westfield and showed up with her daughter, Julia, 8, said after the hearse went by. Like many fans, Giannetta said she grew up listening to Houston’s music and likened the singer to “the voice of my childhood.”

“It’s bittersweet to have her buried so close to home for us,” she said.

Houston was laid to rest in her burial site after stars, family and friends mourned her in a spirited Baptist funeral service at her hometown church on Saturday. The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark was where Houston honed her wide vocal range as a young choral singer with her mother Cissy Houston, a backup singer for Aretha Franklin.

Whitney Houston Funeral Video, WHITNEY Houston’s grieving mother knew that her daughter would die young, she revealed at the superstar singer’s funeral on Saturday.

In a message to her ‘baby girl’ gospel singer Cissy Houston admitted: “I never told you that when you were born, the Holy Spirit told me that you would not be with me long.

“But I thank God for the beautiful flower he allowed me to raise and cherish for 48 years. Rest, my baby girl in peace.”

The emotional tribute came in the form of a letter published in the order of service, and was simply signed ‘Mommie’.

Whitney was found dead in the bath of her Los Angeles hotel room last week, just hours before she was due to attend the Grammy Awards. Police are still investigating the cause of death.
