I am trying to scrape a table off the html pic linked below.

The table I am looking for is in the tbody that I've highlighted in blue, however, when I use Beautifulsoup to scrape this html document, I can only get information up until ('div', 'class': 'sic_localNav'). Somehow, Beautifulsoup does not pick up all the information,(and the table) within the div class. - I have drawn an arrow to denote where this div class is.

a = bs4.BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'lxml')
b = a.find('div', attrs={'class': 'sic_localNav'})
print(b)

<div class="sic_localNav">
 <ul class="sic_section {default_type: 'insider_latest', default_market: 'sgx'}" id="nav_l3">
  <li class="nav_l3_tabs {type: 'insider_latest'}">
   <h3>
    Latest Insider Trades
   </h3>
  </li>
  <li class="nav_l3_tabs {type: 'insider_significant_sales'}">
   <h3>
    Significant Sales
   </h3>
  </li>
  <li class="nav_l3_tabs {type: 'insider_significant_purchases'}">
   <h3>
    Significant Purchases
   </h3>
  </li>
  <li class="nav_l3_tabs {type: 'insider_search'}">
   <h3>
    Search
   </h3>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <img alt="loading..." class="sic_icon_loadingLarge" height="32" id="sic_insider_loading_indicator" src="/images/icon_loadingLarge.gif" style="display: none;" width="32"/>
 <div class="sic_innerContainer" id="sic_insider">
 </div>
</div>

Any thoughts on why Beautifulsoup is not picking up the tbody? I've also checked, this tbody is not within an iframe or anything like that.

Any thoughts?
