Japan's new cabinet approves emergency budget
Posted: 29 September 2008 1058 hrs

emergency budget is a smart calculated move to help patch and smoothen cracks before the hole gets too big, but will it ever take place here in sg? i think the people on top are still in a state of denial, pretending that there's no recession yet.

maybe all they ever know is to syphon more $ from tax payers, implementing more ridiculous means to take $ from the people than to call on reserves.

the recession will hit us badly,mostly probably next year.
this year even though the growth rate has been reduced,it is still alright compare to others.
