Who killed Kim Jong Nam?
The likely suspects are:
USA (CIA)
China
South Korea
North Korea
Japan
USA is unlikely to be the culprit as CIA is busy in dealing with Trump's anti-thesis propaganda.
China is also unlikely to be the culprit as China is protecting Kim Jong Nam and his family.
South Korea is unlikely to be the culprit as it is busy with the presidential scandal.
North Korea is also unlikely to be the culprit as it is NEVER the modus operandi(MO) to use foreign agents to kill. It always uses its own agents for the killings or else it will raise an alarming bell in its own country for the desperate MO.
Therefore, the only likely culprit left is JAPAN because it wants to frame North Korea and topple the dictator.
This is our conclusion based on logical thinking.

China is developing the next generation supercomputer.
http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0220/c90000-9179877.html
This is truly a breakthrough and China can do a lot of simulations with this supercomputer especially for military developments. I didn't know a supercomputer could generate almost USD$1.5b of economic benefits. WOW!

USA new travel ban is coming!

This is a less intrusive ban but is still discriminating against muslims.

USA is creating troubles in South China Sea again.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/us-aircraft-carrier-strike-group-patrolling-china-sea-073854173.html
It will be interesting to see how USA will continue to insist on freedom of navigation when China 2nd aircraft carrier is operational in 2020. By then, the liaoning carrier (first carrier) will be more combat ready than today. USA will have to deal with 2 carriers in 2020.

How to be sanguine about Singapore economy when more countries are bypassing our port?
As time passes, there will be more countries transporting goods from east to west without passing through Singapore because of the new land and sea routes developed by China. How to continue to be a strategic sea hub like this? Without our strategic sea hub status, Singapore economy will definitely suffer.

China and Britain are fostering closer relationship now.
http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0217/c90000-9179229.html
As the railway freight has started operations between UK and China, UK and China will foster a deeper relationship and the railway freight volumes will pick up tremendously in the future. This will definitely lead to a reduced sea freights that have to pass through Singapore.

China land freights are picking up and replacing the sea freights.

Pakistan and China are bypassing Singapore and there'll be more trades which will bypass Singapore. Singapore is fast losing its strategic sea hub importance now.

Will Ezra affect DBS like Swiber did?
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/dbs-ceo-signals-bank-may-054528673.html

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.

Here we go again! 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.
