Other	HK$62k	HK$58k	8%
Total Compensation	HK$758k	HK$736k	100%

On an industry level, around 90% of total compensation represents salary and 10% is other remuneration. There isn't a significant difference between Asia-express Logistics Holdings and the broader market, in terms of salary allocation in the overall compensation package.

There needs to be more focus by management and the board to examine why the share price has diverged from fundamentals.
