SINGAPORE, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Singapore commodities and property firm Straits Trading (STCM.SI) said on Friday its shares will resume trading at 2:00 p.m. (0600 GMT).

The shares were suspended from trading after the Lee family, the main shareholder of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC.SI), improved its offer for Straits Trading to S$6.55 a share, bettering the S$6.50 offered by Tecity.
