Great news! Singapore passport is the most powerful in the world now.
https://sg.news.yahoo.com/singapore-now-powerful-passport-world-index-013119189.html
What does this mean?
Basically, it just means that we can go to many countries without applying for VISAs.
That's about it. Don't expect other fringe benefits to be attached to SG passport. We still need to go through the same custom checks like other passports unless you are holding a diplomatic passport.

Saudi Arabia prince also believes that bitcoin will implode one day. This means that Saudi Arabia won't adopt and legalize bitcoin trading because it doesn't want its citizens to be affected by bitcoin implosion. We can also infer that the Middle East won't legalize bitcoin too.

The 8 immortals that control China, not the 8 deities in the folklore.
No, we are not talking about the famous folklore, "The 8 deities who crossed the sea". We are talking about the 8 powerful families that control China. They control and command all the resources in China such as finance and banking, public utility and transportation, military, etc.

Xi Jinping managed to wrestle and gain control from the 8 powerful families with some going downhills while others pledging loyalties to him.
For example, Li Peng's daughter was booted out of the public utility industry in China.

Xi Jinping's leadership looks set to continue after the 19th Party Congress.
Xi Jinping didn't name his successor at the closure of the 19th Party Congress. This means that he will continue to be the leader for the next decade.
Look like the rumour was true after all about Jiang's support for Xi's leadership continuation. Please read our previous post below.

Russia to issue its own cryptocurrency and this may destroy bitcoins in the future.
https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/15/russia-may-soon-issue-its-own-official-blockchain-based-currency-the-cryptoruble/
Russia will issue its own cryptocurrency which cannot be mined by others and can only be issued by the Russian government.
We did say before in our previous posting that blockchain technology was more useful than the cryptocurrency per se because cryptocurrency was a derivative of blockchain technology.
If more and more countries start to issue their own cryptocurrencies that cannot be mined, bitcoin's value will crash as ordinary people can use the official cryptocurrencies to transfer money. In the end, only criminals will use bitcoins to stay anonymous.

China has started its autonomous electric bus road test recently.
Sigh! What is SG doing? Our government is focusing on diabetics, preschooling and technology embracement.
No wonder our MRT is breaking down so frequently and we've "ponding" at Bishan MRT.
China is really a high technology country.
No wonder the China people are laughing at SG for being so outdated and low-tech.

Italy is on the verge of breaking up after Spain.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-italy-politics-referendum/italian-regions-vote-in-favor-of-autonomy-in-shadow-of-catalonia-crisis-idUSKBN1CR0EY
The domino effect is happening. Some parts of Italy also want to gain independence after Catalan's independence vote.
If Europe allows Catalan's independence, there won't be any reason to stop others from following suit. Catalan will be kicked out of Europe after independence and has to pay high taxes for its goods and services. No FTA for Catalan!

Abe won the Japan election on Sunday.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/japan-apos-leader-just-won-042200543.html
He won because his opposition was too weak but Abe's support was just as weak as before. Nothing much changes because abenomics policies don't work anymore. Abe prefers to focus on the pacifist constitution reforms instead of the economic reforms.

Noble will report a loss of $1.2B in Q3.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/noble-group-sell-oil-liquids-business-vitol-580-001536214--finance.html
Q2 2017 = $1.75B loss
Q3 2017 = $1.2B loss
How long do you think Noble can last after losing close to $3B in just 2 quarters?
The cash proceeds from this sale will be $580M which are still much lesser than its debt of more than $3B.
Noble is burning cash pretty fast!

The truth behind Li Ka Shing's divestment in China.
Why did Li Ka Shing cash out of China?
Li Ka Shing was trying to avoid being persecuted by Xi Jinping for bribery in China and had no choice but to cash out of China. Li Ka Shing's divestment was not due to any loss of confidence in China economic growth as China was still growing pretty well and the property market was still on an upward trend after his divestment.
Li Ka Shing started to do very well in the property developments in China after getting to know Jiang Zemin whilst Jiang was still in power. Li Ka Shing transferred one of his subsidiaries' shares to Jiang's son in exchange for a property development in China and that exchange was the first major pot of gold for Jiang. Thereafter, there were many exchanges of favours and monetary rewards between them including the expeditious capture of the Li son's kidnapper in China.
However, things began to change after Xi's ascension to power. Xi embarked on his corruption-fighting campaign after becoming the leader and also wrestled with Jiang because Xi discovered Jiang's intention to get rid of Xi. Jiang regretted his decision to support Xi because Xi was more upright than he thought.
Therefore, Li Ka Shing quickly cashed out of China and moved his HQ to London from HK. As we all know, HK is part of China and Li Ka Shing doesn't want to take the risk.
