Chitchat Latest Economic Situation

[Brightkid]

1. F1 attendance down at least 27% this year compared to 2008
2. Retail sales down
3. Casinos are struggling and RWS may see its first year of losses in 2016
4. Bank share prices are down

The only things up are unemployment figures and teenage suicide rate

Kindly allow me to add.
- no natural resources,
- fast loosing financial hub advantages,
- no unique or scenic sites as tourist attraction,
- fast loosing entrepôt trade as technology and transport advancement diminished this location advantage (KRA Canal project will be the final nail)

Yet with its core middle managers jobless and loosing their experience fast, there's is really nothing much left of SG once a Mother of all crisis happen, such as a huge Ponzi scheme rears its head.

If we had done a proper sex hub, gold hub and, alcohol and tabacco hub, we would have made big money. Now that the old man is dead, we can do it again. If we can do weapons, why can we not do the rest?

I don't understand your remarks.

My other post reported that MAS declares that your country is officially a tax-evasion hub for foreigners and foreign institutions.

A little bird from the West told me that Sinkieland has been a money-laundering hub for many years. A good example is the money-laundering activity for PM Najib.

The pap is seriously empty.

I disagree. The PAP is staffed (stuffed?) with many President's scholars, Colombo Plan scholars, Overseas Merit scholars, PSC scholars and whathaveyou scholars. They graduated from the world's top universities with 1st class honors in this subject or that major.

Yes, the pap is well staffed and is bloated. But the pap is empty in terms of ideas and achievements

There's more than 1,000 such scholars still working for the PAP machinery. Don't tell me there's no one among them to help make your country great again???

In my adopted country, Donald Trump is no President's scholar nor has he graduated from America's top universities with 1st class honors; in spite of it he's promised to make America great again....

Their only aim is to make their wallet great again. They have lost their sense of purpose and mission

The pap is to SG what Hillary is to USA. PAP and Hillary are in for the money

SG needs a Donald Trump who is not in for the money
