After the game, Pinera jokingly said they had to honor the bet made previously, vowing the winners would stay in the presidential palace and the losers would head down the mine. "We will have to rescue you guys again," he said. |

| SGX to buy ASX for $8.3 billion |
新澳證券交易所欲合并 |
| Singapore Exchange has agreed a US$8.3 billion takeover of Australia's ASX Ltd., Reuters reports.

The companies said they hope to close the deal in the second quarter of next year.
