Re: What kind of retarded lawyer did Anton Casey hire? He is an idiot. Singapore has huge pull in this business. Look at UBS (they bailed them out), MS, Goldman. GIC places out billions for investments. Politically it is hot potato. No need for any phone calls. If his MD knows the...

Re: What kind of retarded lawyer did Anton Casey hire? From business point of view, company should relocate him to HK for 2 years. Let the matter cool down. He can still service his clients in Singapore, just needs to travel more. I cannot see any benefits for him to stay in Singapore given...

The guy is an idiot! But a silly simple man at that to shoot off his mouth. This will affect his career, and his conduct will not help his son. I feel bad for his son. However, Stomp should not have attempted to cover up (which I think was the main issue). I seriously doubt if he is playing...

Re: first piece of news for the week: First tremor feared in China shadow banking sys Please lah. Where are your facts: Here is recent article on Chinese oil consumption: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-12/china-s-crude-oil-imports-increase-to-record-as-economy-expands.html Here...

All this talk getting me hungry. Will order large plate of teochew style steam promfret with tomato and tofu this CNY. Anyone know which Cher Char place is good at this other than Beng Hiang.

If there is demand, some hawker centers will open lah, especially if they are allowed to add larger tables and tents.

Re: first piece of news for the week: First tremor feared in China shadow banking sys I am sure lots of speculaton but definately not fake. Just look around, everything is made there, your computer, your phone, they sell more cars there than US. Then remember that you have 1.4B people wanting...

Re: first piece of news for the week: First tremor feared in China shadow banking sys Nothing will happen in China. It has strong forex position, banks all owned by state, high savings rates, strong mfg base, curreny controls. The concern are the other Brics like India, Brazil and even Russia...

I think hawker center can be good alternative. The top Chinese restaurants are just trying to squeeze in more people and food quality, service is horrid. Then they want you to order their fixed menu which has a bunch of dishes that I do not like (dried oysters is one). It is too crowded and...

There is insufficient compensation for NS reservist commitments. OK there will always be that price to pay to be a Singaporeans, to give a couple years to the country. But problem is county does not differentiate between citizen and PR. Or rather the difference is small. Why cant we have a...

Mission critical jobs like doctors, medical technologist, pharmacist, civil engineers must be vetted at highest level. Not just to sub con it out to another Indian 3 party but actual correspondence with the universities, peer groups And continue to be vetted. Meaning if kena DUI in Singapore...

I do not understand the huge amounts we spend on the military. We are listed as number 22, ahead of Iran, Iraq, Pakistan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures Just need for our neighbors to rattle their sables and all out rich will dump their Marina Bay...

On face of it illogical choice. The idea of confrontation with our neighbors is silly. Just mere threat of war (sable rattling, sanctions, military movement around borders), and all the rich foreigners TT $ out of country and leave. MNCs panic and shippers start routing container traffic to...

Re: Minister Shanmugam affirms foreign workers of future. And SGs Have No Future in S No one is saying no more foreign workers but why not moderate their use. Adjust levy system so that it makes sense to hire some Singaporean. IF we have insufficient IT talent, then work with the MNCs on...

Re: China Pawned Own Self! Kena challenge on new air defense zone by US, quickly fold Agree that it is silly move for China.

What happened to that boyfriend that followed her around during elections? And that picture is nothing much lah. Anyway she is an adult and this is her private life. Why make it such a big deal.

US has to signal that they will protect Japan or else Japs will start rearming themselves (they are already heavily armed). If Japs do that, South Korea, China will follow suit. If Japs go nuclear, so will South Korea and China may be forced to build up their nuclear stockpile. Any sable...

To Google, Singapore is small market. In fact Singapore needs Google more than they need us. China with its 1.4B pop is another matter.

Re: Has the cyber war begun? All this is made to seem like big thing. About how Singapore is being attacked and the Gov will fight and win this battle and people should rally. Basically it all boils down to crappy security. If you want to have website better make sure you have good security...

I don't think PRC need our help lah. On the other hand, I think when they evacuate, they will likely offer spot for all Chinese (after their own citizens.) Anyway Chinese are not interested in war. Each war that US get into, weakens it. I think the last Iraq/Afghani war likely cost US 2 to 3...
