SINGAPORE: Hyflux executive chairman and CEO Olivia Lum said on Friday (Feb 15) that she is "deeply saddened for the pain and loss suffered" by investors and lenders.
Despite the company's continued efforts, it was unable to "succeed in the manner we had intended', Ms Lum said, on behalf of Hyflux's board of directors.
Shouldn't it be "by" instead?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
It could be for or by--the writer may have used for so as not to have by twice in same clause.
@tanguatlay,
A quote is a quote notwithstanding questions of diction.
You could try and finesse it with indirect speech.
