Are we seeing a repeat of bringing in 'foreign talents' and pay them huge salaries and then saw these 'talents' bring down NOL, SGX, Chartered Semiconductor, etc into Red ink before being rescued by local 'second class talents'. DBS is also a victim of foreign talent and is still paying the price of taking over Dao Heng Bank at way above market price - just as SGX bending over backwards to take over ASX - as well as structured ( structured against its clients) products started by another foreign 'talent'.

Now SGX has wasted a projected $20 million on a 'merger' nobody wants - $7.5 milliion this quater alone. Lessons not learnt?

NEEDED : NEW RULES
Rules governing these markets have not kept pace with this rise in speculation.
Speculators can trade with almost no money down, allowing them to influence prices via large bets, while often risking only 5 to 10 per cent of the overall value of the trade.
The US Congress has, from time to time, berated “big oil” in public hearings, but has shied away from reducing the traders’ immense use of leverage.

This mother if got buy insurance, then she better go kill herself, then, the children can have the insurance claim to pay back her debt.

Nobody expected such a scene, and many people who supported the casino in the early days of the govt seeking opinions were blinded by the economic benefits that casino will bring as it will provide for 10000s of jobs. Unfortunately not all jobs thus created went to Singaporeans. Not catching the wild chicken, the Singaporean public lost some rice in the process, the social evil that came with it. Alas, regret, tears.

‘No casino? I’ll kill myself’

By Ewen Boey | SingaporeScene – Mon, Apr 11, 2011 4:13 PM SGT

A 51-year-old hawker threatened to kill herself if her children stopped her from gambling. (Yahoo! file photo)

Her children tried to stop her from gambling, but she threatened to kill herself.

After a two-hour stand-off on the third day of last Chinese New Year, the children's 51-year-old mother got her way and went back to the casino.

When she returned 24 hours later, she had lost S$7,000.

It was then the children gave up trying to get their mother to quit gambling. She had already racked up debts of more than S$300,000.

Speaking to The New Paper from their four-room HDB flat in Simei, accountant Jayden Liu, 24, said, " Now, we can only pray that a miracle happens before we lose her or the roof over our heads."

He recounted that his mother cried, pleaded and lashed out at her children during that confrontation. She put a stool to the kitchen window and threatened to jump after Jayden's younger sister, Jessie, 16, angrily said that they were considering applying for a family exclusion order to the casinos.

Jayden said, " We weren't sure if she'd really do it, but we couldn't take the risk. We had lost our father (to cancer) six years ago, we didn't want to lose our mother."

Taking up a job at a convenience store last December, Jessie now works Saturdays in order to pay for her math tuition and ease her brother's burden.

She also refuses to take money from him. " He should be dating and not taking on another job after office hours and over the weekends."

Jayden now works part time in a karaoke chain, and more than half his S$3,900 take-home pay goes towards paying relatives from whom he borrowed money to clear his mother's debts.

When asked by the same paper about her children's struggle, the hawker mum said, " I really don't think it's any of their business what I do, even if the creditors come hounding. If they are so unhappy, they can always move out."

On her suicide threat, she added that it was only a threat, and she never really intended to jump.

Charles Lee, a senior counsellor at Tanjong Pagar Family Service Centre, was not surprised.

" Normally, when a gambler is in a desperate situation, he will resort to emotional blackmail," he said.

Lee, who is in charge of the problem gambling counselling programme at Tanjong Pagar FSC, said that only trained and experienced counsellors can tell if a threat is real.

" While no one should take it lightly, most times, the threat could be just a threat," he said.

Lee, who has handled such cases before, advised the Liu siblings to seek professional help.

Hi,

anyone here know a little about AS$ movement. it's so high agst S$, is it wise to convert it into S$ as I realised that it has 3 to 4 peak cycle in year.

knowing that no/marginal interest rate cause the rush to buy AS$ and it's mineral attraction too, just today's biztimes said S$ is climbing to high. Appreciate those who read about latest articles about the movement of AS$, please highlight for me.

it was said that US$ will go down to US$1=S$1.20

I think , I view it as can buy those i want to buy on dip, provided i still have cash at hand, must calculate the risk reward

My most cash are in G13 and G68.
