DBS CEO said there's nothing wrong with Swiber before it exploded.  DBS didn't give a full account of EZRA exposure and state the worst was over.  If EZRA explodes, DBS would get hit again because of the under provision.

Singapore non-oil domestic exports (NODX)

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/singapores-non-oil-domestic-exports-rise-86-year-on-year-in-january

Something looks dicey from the statistics.  Year on year changes denote marginal diminishing growth.

Jan 2017: 8.6%
Dec 2016: 9.1%
Nov 2016: 15.6%

Singapore depends heavily on China for our economic growth as it is our largest export market.  Therefore, it is not advisable to pursue USA interest to contain China.


Japan is educating its new generation with its own history.

Japan is brainwashing its students and whitewashing its history.  This is the reason why we must insist Japan to apologize for its atrocities in WW2 until it stops its stupidity act.  UN had already archived the Nanjing massacre on its documentation and Japan would only be confusing its citizens when they visited countries outside of Japan to learn more about its atrocities.

LTA is one of the HSR project winners.

http://www.nst.com.my/news/2017/02/212902/winners-jdp-contract-kl-singapore-hsr-project-announced

This is indeed surprising as LTA has no experience in building HSR. The only experience LTA has is in MRT & LRT.  HSR is a more advanced technology than the normal railway because of its high speed.  I just hope the HSR doesn't break down or delay as often as our MRT/LRT.  Malaysia corporation also has no experience in HSR.  This is indeed a blind leads blind project development.  I wonder how did Malaysia evaluate the whole HSR project as safety would be very important.  Nonetheless, I'm happy to know that we're involved in the HSR project and we can learn a great deal with the on the job training.

Singapore government can do no wrong.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/yaacob-syonan-gallery-isnt-named-to-endorse-the-japanese-occupation-071543442.html

Our government can do no wrong! Just look below.

Our government has redefined the definition of elected president.  Disagreeing means casting aspersion on AG.

Our government uses a japanese name for our historical gallery to REMEMBER our japanese aggressor, not HONOUR it.  This is the same as Japanese government remembering their war HEROS in Yasukuni shrine which provokes the ire of other countries like China and South Korea.

If this is just a remembrance, why would other countries complain against Japan for remembering its war heros?

Kim Jong Nam wouldn't be killed if he had remained in Singapore.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/north-korean-man-dies-becoming-ill-malaysia-airport-133154060.html

He should remain in SG for the sake of security even though SG is a boring place.  He came to SG in 2012 and left in 2014.  This was the information I gathered from the internet.

If risk-free rate goes up to 3.5% by the end of 2017, many things will go awry.  Many people will suffer investment losses and product prices will become a lot more expensive because of high inflation.  Economic growth will become anaemic and we'll be entering an era of stagflation which is difficult to handle.  Economists have great difficulties dealing with stagflation than inflation or deflation.

USA will hike interest rate in March 2017.

Singapore government doesn't know how to bring Singapore forward.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/comment-hidden-harsh-truth-in-future-economy-committees-report-063644246.html

Our ministers don't know how to bring Singapore forward but still want to demand high salaries in the name of corruption avoidance.  When I look at the report, I know our future is sealed because our ministers cannot think independently and need to have constant public consultations.

In the private sector, you will always be hired based on what you know and not what you don't know.  However, this is not the practice in the public sector.  This is why we have medical doctors in charge of engineering and military which won't happen in the private sector.  For example, you will never find a medical doctor at the helm of Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.

Anyway, 70% of Singaporeans decided to have this kind of system in place.  Therefore, we'll just enjoy the remaining aggregate fruit of success while it still lasts.  Good luck to us all!

Trump is such a hypocrite!

Trump wrote a letter to China to wish all the Chinese a happy CNY and also wanted to develop a constructive relationship with China.  Conversely, he continued to stir up troubles in South China Sea with US spy plane.

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-10/china-u-s-warplanes-had-unsafe-encounter-in-south-china-sea

USA will have to issue more debts to cover money lost in tax receipts.

Trump is proposing a 20% corporate tax which will reduce the tax receipts significantly as the current tax ceiling is 35%.


Therefore, USA has to issue more bonds to cover the money lost from lesser tax receipts.  All in all, interest rates will climb.

Trump has thrown in the towel and will standby the one china policy.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-backs-one-china-policy-call-chinas-xi-040924222.html

Trump cannot resist the internal political pressures to accept the one-China policy.  This is Trump first policy defeat and there will be more to come.  Nonetheless, this is a great news for the world.

USA is alienating itself from the world and is becoming "unwelcome".  Besides creating troubles in Asia and Middle East, it is beginning to stir troubles in EU.

Is USA bond market going to explode soon?

With the USA debt reaching $20T limit soon, USA will have to lift the debt limit and issue more bonds to pay or rollover its debt which will cause interest rates to go up as bond prices move inversely to its interest rates.

Currently, the FED is holding $4.45T of treasuries because of its past QE actions and will have to unwind all these down to $1T soon.  The deluge of $3.45T of treasuries will definitely cause bond prices to fall and interest rates to spike up even when the FED unwinds them gradually.  This is truly a double whammy for the bond market.
