Singapore adjusting to sagging economy - 14 Dec 08

[cutiepie2266]

I do not agree. Its not as if the future of the economy can be seen from a crystalball.

[Kansiov]

It's understood that Singapore's Economy, no matter how our leaders claim is nothing more than a hoax. The country is in negative equity, the claims by the Government that Singapore would ride out the storm in positi

[Kansiov]

PM Lee said that Singapore would have continued strong growth of 4-5% into 2008. Oh wait? Was he right?

WAKE UP SINGAPOREANS! STOP GETTING BRAINWASHED!

I am an American, and I love America. But after all of the world's outpouring of sympathy on 9/11/01, my country has done little but screw the rest of the world in so many ways. Amazing how others are affected by our problems. Sorry, people.

[forgetmepls]

At least your country reports on the truth,here our media is heavily controlled to tell the people to think

[Astronomer7698]

haha the American government is almost worse than the Singaporean one, they may not hide as many truths from them but do far worse things.

[AM429]

no truth here. elections=nothing, pure propaganda.

[FoxInHole2]

This is where we see Singapore's economy being scrutinised by the media. Oops, only in the foreign media. The Singapore media doesn't tell us sh*t anything detail or comment on anything unreasonable for us. We have no voice in Singabloodypore.

[ovipconsult]

And everytime they scruntinize the economy, it always turns around and become even better... I don't know why it's always like that... probably Singaporeans talk less than the others, and work more. Thais talked too much about democracy, till everything becomes stagnant, right? Malaysia blamed the whole world for their past recession, and what they got? A failed Proton. The lesson? Shut up and work hard.

[leecheewei85]

totally agree with you (ovipconsult).

to foxinhole2: do you think that by reporting every single detail of whats going on, the core problem (a recession perhaps) will improve? lets face it, it will not.

also, when our media do not report it, does it necessarily means that we have no voice? i believe you typing this message here proves my point, that its NO.

[ovipconsult]

Democracy works in many Western Countries, because it's developed there for over 300 years. They need transparency, because this is how their society behaves. Japan can have successful democracy, because there's only one race, just like Korea and Taiwan. But similar kind of democracy fails in Thailand and Venezuela. It's really time for the Western countries to let other countries develop by their own.

[Ariji86]

"Christianity and Judaism were split off from the religion of Allah by unbelievers."

Actually I meant the holy books that we have nowadays were split off from the original word s of Allah by unbelievers.

They, unbelievers, has edited and put the own words onto the Holy books( Torah, Gospel etc) and they made their own religions for their own profits. And they take Judaism/ Christianity as the names for the religions.

They were group of unbelievers.

Boycott these bug eyed dollar worshiping chinks and they will drop dead of hunger over night ...

[sssssup]

That doesn't even make sense. It is the Asian countries that produce more than they consume. (/bangs head against table)

[MossadAgentWatching]

they produce because we buy from them ...the bug eyed Asians have nothing but our market ...they do not even have anough land to feed themselves let alone any valuable resources or raw materials Asians live sucking wealth from America and we allowed them to do so for the last 50 years they caused our commercial deficit...

[sssssup]

You got it all wrong. They have been producing more than they consume, while exporting the rest in return for dollar bills that are then lent back to America. They have been forgoing current consumption in order to fund that of the West; once this stops, they are finally free to enjoy the fruits of their labour. Do yourself a favour and pick up an economics book.

[MossadAgentWatching]

you must be fucking walking on your head , you twisted nut case ...it is the American consumption that created the economic miracles of China Japan Korea and the rest if America closes its markets on them they will be starving over night , Walmart alone imports 50% of what china produces ...

[sssssup]

I will try to explain it to you in even simpler terms... Asia sends products to America; America sends dollar bills to Asia; Asia does not like American goods (hence it has a trade surplus and America has a trade deficit), so they just lend the dollar bills to America (with interest, of course); cycle continues. Yes, Asia has lots of dollar-denominated assets, but at the expense of its own consumption.

[slashd]

I agree, Peter Schiff wrote two excellent economics books describing this process. Search YouTube on "Peter Schiff was right"

Singapore

#3 in World for Millionaires!

Singapore won't take crap from banks!

They filed class action law suit!

That means they are all ganging up against the bank!

Now that's something!

America on the other hand, is a socialist country for Bankers & Corporations!

[bernardmadoffrules]

Hi,this is Bernard Madoff. I'm writing this message from home,where just outside my front door,there are two US Marshals on guard.I am under house arrest.I am SO sorry that I lost investors 50 billion dollars.But all that the investors had to do was to have asked themselves a question: do I feel lucky with Bernie? Well,do you,punk? If only these investors had made the most tenuous of research,they'd have realised that I was a lying,God forsaken,motherfuckin' dickwad. DTA = Don't Trust Anyone.

[Ariji86]

I'm glad i never trust the monetary system, because interest is forbidden in Islam.

Many non-Muslims tought that Islam starts with Muhammad pbuh, in fact Adam also a Muslim.

Maybe at that time Adam used different title for the religion (maybe because of different language etc), and of course different sharia with Muhammad pbuh, but it is the same religion of Allah.

[Ristar85]

why do Muslims like u make every video religion oriented, i'll never know. but could u please keep all that to yourself? jeez. wats wrong with u people?!

wat the hell does Islam have to do with this video ANYWAY?

[mimeNo9]

Ristar85, Muslims probably "make every video religion oriented" because Islam is a complete religion that covers every aspect of life and, hence, Muslims relate everything in the context of Islam.

The financial contagion now afflicting the world has a lot to do with what Islam has forbidden when it comes to financing and business transactions.

[Ariji86]

In fact, Islam covers everything.

[Ristar85]

hey Ariji86, i dun care if Islam covers everything, or nothing. u seem to forget the little fact that not everybody is a muslim.

wat im saying is, its not nice to go about, like every religious nutjob, talking about YOUR religion everywhere.

and talking about the links between religion, from the financial crisis to the bloody common cold.

and if u havent noticed, it isnt a religion that is very highly regarded at the moment.

no thanks to the religious nutjobs with guns and rockets.

[Ariji86]

Who eats the chili, he feels the hot.

[autorefresher1]

@Ristar85 dude are u like a racist?The american media working on you?You speak like all Muslims act in a same way.Youre a singaporean and you should have done better than that

[Ristar85]

@autorefresher1

hey, try not to act smart. i was replying to somebody talking about Islam when this vid has NOTHING to do with it.

racist? BS! i'd say the same thing if some christian, buddhist or whatever comes in and talk about their religion.

try to open your eyes, and see things in context, for fu*k's sake.

[sssssup]

Monetary system in Singapore isn't even regulated via interest rate... in any case, I don't even know why this is relevant.

[Ariji86]

you're wrong. The government is the bank's customer.

[sssssup]

The deep wisdom and understanding that exists on YouTube never fails to impress me. Thank you for enlightening us.

[sianghan]

No wonder Muslim countries are among the poorest in the world, because they spend their life praying to allah instead of doing something useful. With the exception of those with the dumb luck of sitting on oil, name me a Muslim economic superpower? Zilch.

[Ariji86]

Yes, they would be like Babylon, Egypt etc.

Most of them rich because of the evil system (pyramid system). They're responsible for stealing money from the victims. They're also people who make the system formal legally for their own profits.

Yeah, I know you want to reach to the top of the pyramid.

[sianghan]

Babylon and Egypt were around before Mr Muhammad was even born, and even after his death, they weren't even Islamic until 13-14th century. Don't they teach you history in the madrasah? Or do you read Quran everyday and read nothing else? Now I know why Muslims are dumb enough to kill themselves, you are a living example!

[Ariji86]

hoho now you're showing your stupidity. Plus, you said I'm dumb?

Every Muslims that read your comment will laugh at you.

Abraham is a messenger of Allah for the people Babylon, Palestine, and Egypt.

Moses is a messenger of Allah for the people of Pharouh in Egypt.

Muhammad is the last prophet, a messenger of Allah for all people until the end of the day.

Christianity and Judaism were split off from the religion of Allah by unbelievers.

[Ariji86]

Abraham also a messenger of Allah for the people of Mecca. He built Kaaba, which Muslims around the world go to there once a year for Hajj.

[aquamammal]

It's your own fault if you trust the monetary system.

Zeitgeist: Addendum. The people who profit the most in these times are going to be religious organizations.*
