Huat ah! Singapore economic growth for Q3 2017 is 5.2%.
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/singapore-revises-up-growth-forecast-for-2017-as-q3-gdp-grows-5-9431172
Singapore economic growth is 5.2% in Q3 2017 because of exceptionally good exports, especially to China. Therefore, MTI is forecasting a 3.5% economic growth for 2017.
SG is doing tremendously well because of external factors which are basically international trading. China has become the most important market for SG as it is our largest trading partner and the trading between China & SG is burgeoning.
Therefore, if there is a significant slowdown in China, SG will be badly impacted as there is no other country that can pick up the slack. The bottom line is SG is heavily dependent on China now.

Singapore government is going to increase taxes in the future!
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/pm-lee-hsien-loong-tax-hike-dpm-tharman-mof-9427760
PM Lee is trying to prepare us to accept the impending tax increments in the future.
However, Tharman said in 2015 budgetary speech that SG had enough provision for this decade.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/02/dpm-tharman-said-that-government-had.html
Well, I guess we're on different time scales as the government's timescale is a lot faster.

China financial regulations are hurting Alibaba's businesses.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-suspends-approval-internet-micro-loan-firms-sources-150618137--sector.html
Alibaba's ANT Financial and Qudian took a hit after China clamped down on micro-loan market.
As we can see, Alipay and ANT Financial are impacted by China regulations.

China government is targeting Jack Ma of Alibaba now.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/07/political-battles-are-playing-out-in.html
We stated this before in our previous post above. Therefore, we are providing the update now.
China actress Zhaowei made her first pot of investment gain from Alibaba pictures by manipulating the stock prices with some hype news and she was caught this time by performing the same trick again. She was trying to take control of a 10B RMB company with 3B RMB cash but the China regulator believed she didn't have so much money for the takeover and investigated her money sources. It turned out that she took a 1.5B RMB bank loan and also got a 1.5B RMB personal loan. There was a rumour that the personal loan might come from Jiang Zemin's financial controller who was residing in HK or Jack Ma who was also closely associated with Jiang Zemin. Therefore, China regulator fined and banned her from the stock market for 5 years.
Zhaowei's husband is also a person of interest to the China authority because he was a chauffeur to a corrupted China official prior to his marriage to Zhaowei. The chauffeur became rich overnight and married Zhaowei. The China authority believed he was laundering money for the corrupted China official. Therefore, the China authority is keeping a tab on this couple.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-zhaowei-trading-ban/china-bars-billionaire-actress-zhao-wei-from-stock-trading-for-five-years-idUSKBN1DA0T1
China's central bank has already outlined that all mobile payment systems must go through a central clearinghouse because China wants to keep track and monitor all the monies that flow in and out of China. Therefore, Alipay is no longer an unbridled conduit to move money without the knowledge of the government. The government is also investigating Alipay for Jiang Zemin's funds.
https://www.ft.com/content/3bcb5150-7cce-11e7-9108-edda0bcbc928
Jiang Zemin had been trying to disrupt China's economy to dethrone Xi Jinping's and wished to take over the leadership with his own henchman. Therefore, he had been funding many "entrepreneurs" and making them super rich to increase his own influences in China. This is the reason for the falls of many billionaires in China recently.
Jiang Zemin tried to cause the stock market to collapse but to no avail so far. Then, he tried to destabilize the China financial system by getting his "entrepreneurs" to take huge local loans in billions to buy overseas assets (companies and assets) without any prudent financial consideration. Through this method, he could cash out the overseas assets at a later date and leave the colossal debts to China with no payback intention. This would definitely crash China financial system in the future.
Subsequently, President Xi got wind of Jiang's intention and action and started to control the outflows of money with many financial regulations.
If you look at the latest Jack Ma's movie, he was apologizing and asking for mercy from the POLICE at the end of the movie for the mistake he had made. Many people said that he was sending a subtle message to the China's authority through this movie.

China and Russia are accumulating gold reserves!
https://www.bullionstar.com/blogs/ronan-manly/neck-neck-russian-chinese-official-gold-reserves/
China and Russia are accumulating gold reserves in preparation for the loss of confidence or collapse in USD. It is without a doubt that there is a rise in non-USD trading in the world, be it using RMB or Euro, especially in the Middle East and Russia. Although the USD constitutes around 60% of international trading (including foreign reserves of other countries), this figure has been dwindling over the years because countries have been diversifying their foreign reserves and also the rise in non-USD trading.
Therefore, China and Russia are accumulating gold for this upcoming currency war. Many analysts believe that China and Russia are under-declaring their gold reserves of 1850ton & 1800ton respectively and there are more golds hidden in both countries.

PM Lee should have known it better than to antagonize Malaysia.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/khairy-lambasts-hsien-loong-over-061534483.html
PM Lee has nothing better to do but to antagonize Malaysia.
We did state previously that Malaysia won't be accommodative towards SG anymore because it had the support of China.
http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/10/malaysia-to-impose-s8-vep-on-sg-cars.html
Yes, SG will be the chairman of ASEAN 2018 but the Philippines will be the ASEAN facilitator between China & ASEAN. Many ASEAN countries are also standing behind China now and it will be unwise for SG to do otherwise because SG will be ostracized in ASEAN. SG shouldn't antagonize other ASEAN members now or else the ASEAN summit won't be smooth sailing next year for Singapore.

Singapore and Malaysia have yet to take into the consideration of the new Arctic sea lane in their port assessments and continue to increase their port facilities. Beside the sea lanes, China is also developing rail routes to move containers across borders under the BRI.
The road and sea freight services will definitely cannibalize one and another.

Thailand has just lost many golden decades in the future for not developing its Kra Canal.
https://thebarentsobserver.com/en/2017/09/northern-sea-route-completely-ice-free-and-shipping-thrives
https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/10/china-wants-to-open-major-arctic-shipping-route.html
The northern sea route is completely ice free and shipping will start to thrive in the future. China has completed its studies on this new northern sea route and will begin to open this arctic shipping lane which will bypass the Strait of Malacca completely. This arctic sea lane will compete with South East Asia for shippers in the future. Therefore, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore will be greatly affected economically due to lesser shipping businesses.
Once the opportunity is gone, it is lost forever. China's interest in the Kra Canal has diminished and Thailand has lost many golden decades in the future for not developing its Kra Canal which can transform Thailand into the Panama of South East Asia. Consequently, this Kra Canal development is no longer feasible due to climate change as there is a cheaper way to bypass the Strait of Malacca now.
China is definitely gladdened to see the emergence of this Arctic sea lane because it no longer feels threatened by a single sea lane that passes through Strait of Malacca.
The biggest loser is Thailand because of its failure to recognize the opportunity to transform itself into the Panama of South East Asia. This mistake will cost Thailand billions of economic losses in the future.
We did report on this Arctic sea lane in our previous post.

China has replaced Singapore with Philippines as the facilitator between China and ASEAN.
Philippines knew what Trump was up to with this ASEAN visit. Therefore, the Philippines protested against Trump prior to his visitation.
http://www.thesundaily.my/news/2017/11/12/philippine-protest-ahead-summit
China Premier stayed behind in the Philippines after the ASEAN summit to discuss and sign 14 agreements between China & Philippines. Furthermore, Philippines had proposed to China that it's willing to be the facilitator between China and ASEAN. However, this point was not highlighted in the news but caught the attention of some news channel. I learnt about this from some Chinese media channel. Therefore, we can foresee that the Philippines will play a more proactive role in forging the bridge between China and ASEAN and Singapore will lose its importance over time in ASEAN.

China and Philippines are the biggest winners for this ASEAN summit as China has settled the South China Sea issue with Philippines and Vietnam.

Sigh! USA destroyer collided in Japan sea. This is the 5th time this year.
http://abcnews.go.com/US/us-warship-collides-japanese-tug-boat-latest-mishap/story?id=51242298
The USA destroyer is very good at causing damages to commercial vessels.
I think the USA destroyer is built for destroying commercial vessels, not other military vessels as proclaimed.
It had collided with a container ship, oil tanker, tug boat, etc.
Well done!

China has responded finally to Singapore invitation to part take in the HSR tender.

Look like our PM Lee's visit to China has paid off. China has reciprocated by responding to SG's invitation albeit much later than Japan (August 2017). This is a goodwill gesture by China.

Saudi Arab has a huge budget deficit that it is trying to fill.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/saudi-officials-reportedly-offer-freedom-095000659.html
Saudi's national budget is based on around USD$80 oil but the oil prices have been hovering at around USD$55 now. Therefore, there is a significant shortfall in the budget.
How is Saudi going to make up for the shortfall?
By imposing a 70% confiscation of wealth on the arrested parties.

Chinese bike-sharing firm has gone bankrupt.

This is not surprising even though China has 1.4B people because the shared bike business model is a flawed concept.

Hong Kong security is getting worse. Stay away from South Asians in HK.
Please stay away from South Asians in Hong Kong because they're getting bolder and no longer respect the laws. Many of them have joined the HK triads. The South Asians are Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi.
This drunk Pakistani pushed a female cleaner down the MRT platform.
Just look at this South Asian who robbed a jewellery shop in daylight with a hammer.
3 South Asians fought with elderly Hongkongers in the MRT.

According to the police, 13 men - 10 South Asians and three Hong Kong Chinese - burst into the B&B Mongkok Hotel on the 16th floor of Kingland Apartments on Nathan Road shortly before 1am yesterday.
Two South Asians then knocked on the door of two mainlanders staying in the guesthouse and rushed in when the door was opened.
They slapped and manhandled the two men before leaving with a backpack containing HK$2.3 million in cash and an iPhone worth HK$8,000.

Trump offered to mediate on South China Sea issue but Duterte slapped him in the face.
http://www.khmertimeskh.com/5090214/trump-offers-mediate-south-china-sea/
Duterte rejected Trump's offer outright because he knew the ulterior motive of Trump. Trump is not really genuine in mediating the South China Sea issue and he just wants to stir more troubles in South China Sea for USA political interest.
Duterte saw through Trump's ruse immediately because the USA would create troubles wherever it was involved and the Middle East was a superb example.

A pensive man who is critical about our SMRT and GOVERNMENT.
However, I know that our Minister Khaw, Malay reserved President and SMRT top management won't step down. As long as Singaporeans support the one-party system in Singapore, we can NEVER boot out the incompetent "elitists".
