This thread is a waste of time. Chinese better at Olympics than the Americans? Ha ha thanks for the laugh.:)

Methinks the dialogue needs to be raised, cost of living in Singapore is starting to affect our very standard of living. When a Volkswagen Car in Singapore costs the equivalent of a Landed Property in the United States, something is wrong. Its time to wake up and stop the nonsense. What...

Problem with US interest rates is they have the reserve currency. They can do whatever they want to save themselves. If rates go up, then the Fed can purchase as long as inflation is as low as last 5 years. Apart from this, investors have too much liquidity in US$, which accounts for some...

The government does not wish to create asset enhancement in this climate. They wish to remain competitive. Lower wages, supply of affordable housing is a goal of the government, not the current situation where the battle to control hot money is a lost cause. Property prices at today's level is...

Singapore has lost control long ago. Failure to contain inflation for some time now, reflects MAS policy failure @ an economic crisis level of 5%. The media will never focus on the real story, the inflation and the manufacture of GDP via immigration. 5% inflation is more dangerous to the people...

A better question is: How good is the quality of life in Singapore? Our Quality of Life, standard of living rankings are subject to intense debate. The inevitable conclusion from citizens today is "if Singapore has no future where can my children, family thrive?" You can then consider which...

Methinks the issue is not which nation is facing strong headwinds, but which isn't. On the radar it would seem the European crisis will result in a depression, affecting China, Singapore, the entire Western World; hence a global recession much worse, and will last much longer than GFC I. Its...

Are you an anarchist? Do you curry favor with Islamist fundamentalists? Do you agree and support the JI? When terrorist plots to bomb Singapore are foiled, are you disappointed? Do bloody bodies and bombs excite you? I think I'll just carry on being one who enjoys peace and stability, and...

Methinks the celebration is one of the Arab and Western World. There is clearly no love lost on Gaddafi, guilty of bombing a Berlin, Germany nightclub killing many in 1986 and the 747 that killed Westerners on the ground in Scotland. The Western World has seen justice served following the...

Utterly bearish outlook. China surpassing Japan to be #2 is endemic of its growth, not its inherent instability. China had its problems, agreeably lopsided in its development but a bursting of the property market would be dependent on oversupply and too much credit vis a vis the Western model...

Methinks the China story is misunderstood. The govt is tightening to slow the economy down. Whither the plan succeeds the; result is more FAI into the Chinese economy for addl breakneck growth. The govt is mindful of social unrest lest the growth falls.

What say you already The federal Reserve Head no magic trick for y u know?>

PRC is indeed the future, that much is certain. We are seeing history unfold before our very eyes. The Chinese Standing Committee of 9 are facing some dark, trying days, with over 200,000 riots per year and rising, the Chinese people no longer fear the Chinese Government And eventually, it...

Methinks property price in Singapore, China, will fall, too much speculation in the market.

Re: Shocking!! PM Lee Hsien Loong Say USA is #1 Superpower of World for Decades to Co Methinks you overestimate China's influence. The measure of GDP is a factor. Others include political, military influences in the International Political Economy. In this regard China is the poor cousin of...

This is a tad severe, but overall China's inflation problem is catastrophic because its a broad spectrum type of inflation from property to food, the cut and paste tightening measures will not succeed in tackling inflation. Anytime you have m2 expanding 20% a year when growth is 10% any price...

Methinks the landing will be soft, but in China this means a growth rate at 8-9%. Anything less than 7% the Chinese Govt will be afraid of social unrest like Tianamen 1989, but China has 2.7 Trillion at its disposal. China has many years of strong economic growth ahead, but it has encountered...

Raising interest rates is but one tool to contain inflation. MAS prefers to use other means of tightening such as allowing the S$ to appreciate. Singapore tried to intervene earlier this year to weaken the S$ to no avail hence the switch to contain inflation via currency appreciation following...

Methinks the present can be found in the roots of the cause. First the Americans won the cold war, then the war of those who have and those who have not fueled terrorism. In the 1990s the richer the Western Nations became the further behind the Middle East was left. Clinton's cruise missiles did...

Methinks there is some credence to this article. The leaks have embarrassed the Italians, the Turks, the Russians, the entire world and even LKY. Many people have seen unprecedented transparency and the American people can be grateful the current Obama Administration is reversing the damage...
