https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-apos-economy-contracts-annualized-000000991.html

Despite all the bullish economic growth forecasts by economists, Singapore didn't do well in the first quarter by declining 1.9% on annualized basis.

Our retail figures also didn't do well either.

Rickmers Maritime to close down!

http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/rickmers-maritime-to-wind-up-after-failing-to-reach-deal-with-lenders

We had stated in March that Rickmers Maritime would have great difficulty to restructure its debts.  Therefore, it's not surprising that Rickmers Maritime will close down.

Shame on you, UK!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/boris-johnson-asks-g7-consider-160117776.html

UK really got the cheek to ask for sanctions against Russia & Syria when it was UK who exported nerve gas chemicals to Syria.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/revealed-uk-government-let-british-company-export-nerve-gas-chemicals-to-syria-8793642.html

How to believe UK that none of the chemicals was exported?  If there's no intention to export the chemicals, why allowed such an export in the first place?

OMG! UN is conducting a prejudiced chemical attack investigation.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/draft-un-resolution-calls-syria-gas-attack-probe-170012268.html

Logically speaking, Assad won't be using any chemical weapon because he is winning the battles in Syria and Putin also won't approve it.

UN should investigate the site as chemical remnants will definitely be found on the ground which would be different from a chemical airstrike.  UN should investigate the site, Assad & rebels to find out the truth.

Russia has intelligence that rebel fighters use chemical weapons to frame Assad.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/putin-warns-future-chemical-weapons-provocations-frame-assad-132438198.html

Russia definitely has better and accurate intelligence than USA.  It will just take UN only a few days to find out the truth behind the chemical attack in Syria.  Let's see how this will pan out.

United Airlines CEO lied about the mishandling of its male passenger.

http://finance.yahoo.com/video/video-united-passenger-dragged-off-033451430.html

The airport police used excessive force on a male passenger who refused to disembark the plane as he had to perform surgery for his patient the next day.  He was randomly selected by computer to disembark because United Airlines wanted to put 4 staffs on board a fully booked airplane.  Airport police were called in to forcefully remove the male passenger and the male passenger was injured by the airport police with a bloody face.  The airport police lied about the male passenger being aggressive and belligerent and the injury was due to a fall which turned out to be caused by the airport police when videos started to surface.  Thereafter, the airport policeman was suspended.

United Airlines CEO defended the removal of the male passenger forcefully.  Why the hell must a paying customer sacrificed his ticket for non-paying staffs?  This is not putting customer interest as a priority for this airlines.

People are calling for a boycott of this Airlines.

Recession risk is high despite all the bullish economic growth forecasts.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/10/theres-more-than-60-chance-of-a-global-recession-within-the-next-18-months-economist-says.html

Higher interest rates, higher inflations and geopolitical situations are the factors contributing to recession risks.

AFP is creating fake news!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/china-remains-worlds-biggest-executioner-amnesty-233315115.html

If you look at USA statistics, USA police killed or executed more people on the streets than the country did.  When more people are killed on the streets by police, there will be fewer people for the country to execute.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shootings-2016/

The police killed 963 people in USA in 2016 while the country only executed 20.

US is creating false intelligence again!

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2017/04/10/us-officials-say-russian-inaction-enabled-syria-chemical-attack/

USA accused Russian of inaction which led to Syria chemical attack.  The truth was it was UK which sold nerve gas chemicals to Syria that enabled the chemical attack.

UK doesn't need to ship its goods through ASEAN anymore.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/first-silk-road-train-britain-leaves-china-001450249.html

UK can transport its good to China on railway instead of sea routes.  Shipments through ASEAN will definitely drop and Singapore will suffer too.

China is adamant not to ship its oil through Singapore.

http://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2086482/china-says-deal-reached-last-myanmar-oil-pipeline

China is putting its best effort to construct the oil pipes from Myanmar to China so that its oil won't go through Singapore.

Sigh!  China is really wary of Singapore.

Will Russia & USA fight it out in Syria?

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/boris-johnson-spearhead-diplomatic-drive-210000100.html

If USA & UK continue military strikes against Syria, there'll be a war between Russia & USA.  Syria will be in devastation when 2 foreign countries fight it out in Syria.

There are more vocal dissentients now because USA attacked Syria without full investigation & also without UN knowledge.  Furthermore, USA airstrike was not a self-defence attack.

Russia will intensify its support for Syria because of USA airstrike.  Let's see how this will pan out.

US & UK are in cahoots to destroy Syria.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/syrian-president-assads-allies-u-attack-crosses-red-125248955.html

US & UK are accusing Syria of the chemical attack and Russia & China for condoning Syria.  This is exactly the same move for Iraq, accusing Iraq of WMDs but cannot find anything till now.

US knew that UK sold nerve gas chemicals to Syria but didn't say a single word. Why? Why? Why?

US strike forces are sailing to Korean peninsula from Singapore.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/us-sends-aircraft-carrier-strike-082929092.html

I hope North Korea won't target its middle range missiles at Singapore because we know Kim is a crazy man.

UK supported US airstrikes against Syria was a big joke! Why?

https://m.centraltelegraph.com.au/news/uk-govt-allowed-export-nerve-gas-chemicals-syria/2005649/

UK allowed export of nerve gas chemicals to Syria in 2013.  So where did Syria get the chemicals?

This is what we called "A thief calling another person a thief"!  Shame on you, UK!

Is USA missiles attack on Syria illegal?

Based on International laws, USA had no right to attack Syria because it didn't seek UN approval and the attack was not based on self-defence.

You can only attack another country on self-defence basis or you've UN mandate.  However, USA didn't have these conditions to back it up.
