Lie principle
From Groupprops
This survey article is about a correspondence-principle between: Lie group and finite group
The Lie principle is a general principle which states that there is a close parallel between the study of a finite group of Lie type in characteristic p and an arbitrary finite group with respect to a prime p. The principle was enunciated by Jonathan L. Alperin in his survey article A Lie approach to finite groups, where he stated it as follows:
If G is an arbitrary finite group and p is any prime divisor of its order, then there exist interesting and important analogs of all aspects of the structure of Lie type groups whose natural characteristic is p

Big Lie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the 1951 anti-communist propaganda film, see The Big Lie.
The Big Lie ( German: Große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, for a lie so " colossal" that no one would believe that someone " could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to unfairly blame Germany's loss in World War I on German Army officer Erich Ludendorff.
Usage in Hitler's psychological profile
The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile: [3][4]
His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off never admit a fault or wrong never concede that there may be some good in your enemy never leave room for alternatives never accept blame concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[5]

Speaking to the media yesterday after a walkabout in Tampines, Mr Tan, 63, said he knows of some PRs who receive housing grants although they have not done the two-year NS.
“I’m not against PRs and new citizens but we must treat our male citizens fairly because they are coming out to work in a competitive work environment.
They are two years behind the other people and young people find it very hard to earn enough money to start a family, to buy a HDB flat,” said Mr Tan.

‘Links to Opposition but Jee Say will be pro-S’porean’
SINGAPORE
This made the 57-year-old Mr Tan, an investment adviser, the least partisan and hence most likely to act independently of the Government, said Mrs Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss, one of the nine speakers to take the stage at his rally at the Toa Payoh Stadium. Out of the nine, four, including Mrs Chong-Aruldoss, contested the General Election (GE) in May as Opposition candidates.
“Because his political career lasted four months, he won’t be pro-opposition or pro-PAP, he will be pro-Singaporean,” said Mrs Chong-Aruldoss, the National Solidarity Party’s (NSP) vice-president.
While “the spectre of gridlock has been raised” if the President is too independent, more dangerous is groupthink, which has led to “disastrous population policies”, said another speaker, Professor Paul Ananth Tambyah.

[## UNACCOUNTABLE COMMITTEEISM ##]
[### LEADERSHIP COMPLACENCY ###]
The infectious diseases physician had also spoken at an SDP lunch-time rally during the May polls.
Lawyer Basil Hwang, managing partner of an international law firm’s Hong Kong office, said Singapore needs “a fresh pair of eyes”.
“We need someone to confidently say that the Emperor has no clothes when the times calls for it,” said Mr Hwang, who is married to Ms Michelle Lee, an SDP candidate who contested the GE.
Ms Nicole Seah, another Opposition figure speaking at the rally, said that Singapore needs a President who would not be a “yes”-man. She urged Singaporeans to hold the President’s role to scrutiny.
“We do not know much about it because of the perceived inaction of the previous President24-year-old advertising executive, who was also an NSP candidate in the GE.,” said the
# slEEpIng bEAUty nOt nEEdEd #
“Your vote will hold the power to push for transparency and clarity on what the role entails,” Ms Seah added.
Mr Tan’s long-time friend, psychiatrist Ang Yong Guan, noted that some older Singaporeans viewed the presidential candidate as “confrontational”.
However, Dr Ang, who was an SDP candidate in the GE, assured the crowd that Mr Tan would not become a second power centre.
“Mr Tan Jee Say is well aware of this point, he will not create a ruckus. He will not quarrel unreasonably with the Prime Minister and oppose him,” Dr Ang said in Mandarin.
— Despite presidential candidate Tan Jee Say’s association with the Opposition, his links with the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) was the shortest — at four months — compared to the other three candidates who had been members of the ruling People’s Action Party (PAP) for more than 30 years, said a speaker at Mr Tan’s election rally last night.Carolyn Quek

I would do it for $1, says Tan Jee Say
ESTHER NG

SINGAPORE
And in a tribute to his mother at his election rally at the Toa Payoh Stadium last night, Mr Tan showed the crowd a life-sized photograph of the two of them standing on the steps of the Istana during his Commissioning Parade in 1977. — He knows what it is like to be poor, presidential candidate Tan Jee Say told the crowd. At the start of each school year when new books, shoes and clothes were needed, his mother would borrow five to ten dollars from relatives to put her nine children through school.
As for his independence, Mr Tan reiterated he was “not pushing” for any Opposition agenda nor political gain. Instead, he added, he was in the race to serve the people. He said: “The views that I have, contrary to the Government, are not the monopoly of the Opposition. Even some members of the (People’s Action Party) are unhappy about the PAP.”
Mr Tan, 57, identified two key causes that he would pursue as President: Help for the elderly and their caregivers and promote volunteerism among youths.
He said his 100-year-old mother, who died in February, had mild dementia, and he understood the stress that caregivers had to go through.
Mr Tan said he would also do more to get youths to volunteer, citing the example in the United Kingdom where students would take a year off from studies to do charity work.
Asked whether he would run for the presidency if he were not paid, Mr Tan said in jest:
“I would do it for one dollar, like Steve Jobs.”
But “seriously”, Mr Tan added, he was running to “serve the people”.

TT is TITLE MAN
gOIng After thE
prEsIdEnt TITLE

Prime Minister TITLE
TRACK RECORD:

bUt rEtUrnEd as Deputy Prime Minister
teeth53 ( Date: 14-Aug-2011 00:14) Posted:
The last May GE resulted - shown as 60.1% for and 39.9% against, voting patten indicated party ideology line for voters prefrence.
This time, a elective presidential post has had nothing to do with how Singapore is to be run.
On top for it. it oni hav to take one, oni one Law Ministry. Mr K.Shanmugan to debunks notions on what president can say.
Can ONLY speak. ONLY as cabinet advised. Can on act as chairman for presidential adivsed.
Following is what voters patten can gather, based on assumption of what is a general election and what is a presidential election is...At stake, is TT a change man for presidential job..?.
TT (PAP Ex-MP, Ex-Ministry and Ex DPM) - elitees, plus some fatees rich and NTUC old guards (not an endosement by NTUC ordinary folks members)
Note: Dr Tony Tan is widely seen as the Govt’s preferred candidate. It is something he will have to grapple with going into the campaign. who he had been associated with staunch support for 27 years as PAP party cadre member to LKY.
TCB (PAP Ex-MP, 6 terms and is very up front, a presidential hopeful fighter) - West side more vote then east, plus some daftees not happy with TT
TJS (most recently stood for as oppostion MP, was unsuccessful) - right after may 2011 election, now depending on SDP, plus some unhappy voter daftees with V.van
TKL (Once counted to stand as PAP MP candidate and most recently was invited by WP-Mr LKT to give GE May, 2011 speeches) - East side more vote then West, plus some datees unhappy with PAP policy.
In my own personnal opinion. Since lehman and it finance crisis, many hundred, if not thousand had ask TKL to go for d president post. It is oni logical for TKL to move forward, as seen best connected to d people's and giving hope, aspiration and better life for common folks.
Just sharing my thot. Voting for the Honourable Excellency the President.
Choices is yours as many Singaporeans feel about themselves passionately on each politcal belief. Now there are four hopefuls.
How well can presidential hopeful get connected with citizens and capable of unifying Singaporeans.
Result will tell in the night of Aug 27, 2011.
I wishes all four presidential hopeful, all the best. |

PE: Presidential candidates respond to WP’s allegations against HDB
The four presidential candidates
SINGAPORE: Presidential candidate Dr Tony Tan said the HDB should investigate the issue of transferring community sites in Aljunied GRC to the People’s Association (PA) to ensure that proper procedures were followed.
Speaking in response to reporters after visiting a market at New Upper Changi Road, Dr Tan said he is concerned if there was any unfairness in the transfer of the HDB owned sites.
He wondered if this had been done intentionally, or whether it was a mistake.
The Workers’ Party Chairman Sylvia Lim had accused the HDB of abusing its power as land owner by transferring the management rights of 26 open spaces from the Aljunied—Hougang Town Council to the People’s Association.
Ms Lim added that the PA curtailed the ground presence of the elected WP MPs by warning residents who apply for permits to hold events at these sites not to invite the elected WP MPs or risk having their applications turned down in future.
" It’s important that justice and fairness should be done. Not only that but that the public should see that justice and fairness has been done," said Dr Tan.
Meanwhile, presidential candidate Tan Kin Lian said that public spaces should be used for non—partisan purposes.
He was responding to a recent incident, where opposition Member of Parliament Chen Show Mao was reportedly told not to attend a community event at Paya Lebar.
Mr Tan said that the organiser should have been given the freedom to invite whoever he or she wanted.
He said: " Whoever is the Member of Parliament should be respected. And you can’t say it can only be used by MPs of some political parties, but not of other political parties."

Maybank Q4 profit up 27%
KUALA LUMPUR
Maybank’s acquisition of Kim Eng gave it stock-broking and investment banking operations in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. Kim Eng’s income of RM152.6 million contributed to a 51-per-cent increase in noninterest earnings to RM1.2 billion, it said.
As a whole, fourth-quarter revenue increased 21 per cent to RM5.72 billion as lending grew, the company said. Net interest income advanced 2 per cent to RM1.83 billion in the quarter through June. Noninterest income climbed 45 per cent to RM1.2 billion, profit from insurance jumped 71 per cent to RM425.3 million, and earnings from Islamic finance gained 33 per cent to RM468.8 million, the company said.
Provisions for bad debts fell to RM47.7 million from RM320.5 million a year earlier, it said.
The group’s full-year net profit was RM4.45 billion, up 16.6 per cent on-year.
Maybank shares closed up 0.12 per cent to RM8.64 in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. — Malayan Banking, the country’s largest lender, said yesterday fourthquarter profit rose 27 per cent to a record RM1.15 billion (S$467.5 million), boosted by maiden contributions from Singapore brokerage Kim Eng Holdings, which it took over in May.

Risk profile changes as S-Reits eye greenfield projects
SINGAPORE
Moody’s said credit risks for S-Reits would include potential cost overruns, construction delays, counterparty risks and mistiming market sentiment.
It added that, during the development phase, the S-Reits could also come under pressure from additional debt to fund the projects, coupled with the absence of income from the unfinished property.
So far, Moody’s believes that S-Reits have taken certain steps to minimise credit risks.
This includes minimising exposure to property development risk by tapping funds and expertise from their sponsors, which have strong track records in development.
S-Reits have also adopted strategies to transfer development risks to third-party contractors, although counterparty risks remain.
In addition, rental guarantees and pre-committed leases obtained by some S-Reits can ensure stable incomes upon completion and minimise the risk of mistiming the market.
Moody’s said it had not taken any rating actions on the S-Reits’ recently announced plans to develop properties because their existing ratings already factor in a cushion for the increased debt.
High occupancies and rental growth have also enabled the trusts to service any interest from additional debt incurred.
Also, with a cap on development projects at 10 per cent of the total value of property owned, Moody’s said the rating among S-Reits should stay in investment grade, with at least a Baa rating. — High prices for the acquisitions of buildings are making the development of greenfield projects more attractive for Singapore Reits (S-Reits) but this could come with credit risk implications, according to Moody’s Investors Service.
