In all good faith...Director, Corporate Communations. Energy Market Authority (EMA) did explains (again..Ya. This time...explanation did not go down well with..Bad news for us, ordinary citizen..Ya, no mechanism to explain why..except to said it is base on three mths forward contract..very poor lousy explanation.) it spike on fuel oil, natural gas & it electricaity charges. Sat, Oct 4, 2008 ST paper (forum-page-A36)

Me think (alternate view) end of the day it will be alot more money to shares holder value and it Directors and also more then enuff to cover staffs salary and operating cost.....Ya. So a very negative reflection, it will effectively increases imposed on majority on higher cost of living standard for this 4th Q, and a very well regulated none option choice that everyone got to pay for it.

I believe some may not afford to pay more for those poorer citizens when those bills reach them this 4th Q (Oct - Dec 2008).

This whole idea about me mentioning above is to bring out our sytsem that working against us, weather we are retail users or those making those implementaion process, Noted: oil movement move so fast, so some form of mechanism has to be put in place to be work out, rather then reliance on old system.

In other word...a lack of initiative from those holding senior post (those who had gone for the meeting to process implemetation on how to work out the new tariff), "tariff hike goes against common sense") as well as those who at that point in time did not do their homework, just business as usual in the meeting (No brain ...in storm braining)..Ya.

Wasted much $$$ in such big organization w/o having a internal talented brain storming secession, with everyone looking to collect their $$$ end of the month.

Property is no exception, oil falling below US$70/- as investors is wary, turn cautious after each rallies. as US investors fear recession goes into prolong or deeper recession.

Come this last 4th Q 2008 and into 1st Q 2009. In order for badly hit Companies to stay afloat, likely to start those dreadful action...Retrenchment, (expectation in lower earning as business / economy slow down or lost cetain business contract...oredi into technical recession), stop issue or cut bonus, cut overtime, cash is tight, belt tightening, bank borrowing drag it feet to lend. Long serving staffs...high salary go 1st (hope they can cut salary then chose the easy way...retrench). There can be few casualty, a few more victim and many unpaid bill effecting those poorer citizen.

Sub-prime credit (indeed) woes certainly has aggravated avalanche effected US housing woes. In stocks, it went into tail spin. In U.S, it closed a few big leading investment bank that lead to financial meltdown which G7, E.U. and IMF and world bank try to avert. It take time to do so...

Singapore economy is very open to global trade exposure and to U.S. export, expecting lower earning come into play when compaies start reporting...and property play is no exception.

Your are right. Another thing is that developers can get stretched as well. However, this round, developers are more ready. They have more cash now. Hope some of them will lelong some units out next yr. LOL.

I really do not wish sole bread winners to lose their jobs and have to sell their only house. Quite poor thing. Hope they do not over-commit and sell at the mercy of the market.

However spreading out those bills to all it citizen. Is this the only option ?, is there a better way to market increases every quarter, to soften the impact of "tariff hike goes against common sense" on the revision in the electricity tariff, a more common sense idea approach to sell it tariff increases (none option) to all general public and it citizens need to be more elaborated...Just borrowing a recently happened incident (an idea) why M'sia suddenly increases it oil pump prices by more then 40% that caused stress and un-happiness among it. Agree nation cannot subsidies...

No element of surprises, Please, in good faith. Hope there's will, there is a better way for all of us..

STOCKS NEWS ASIA-Shares to fall on Wall St decline.

Asian shares are set to dip on Wednesday, as the fear of a recession denting corporate earnings saw Wall Street close lower. A poor profit outlook from PepsiCo led a widespread decline in technology and consumer companies, overshadowing a plan by the U.S. government to spend $250 billion taking equity stakes in major banks.

The U.S. dollar fell on signs that global moves to unfreeze credit markets is beginning to work, while

the euro gained on a co-ordinated plan to rescue European banks.

Commodities including crude oil fell, as investors saw lower demand arising from a likely global recession.

Big rallies in bear markets are caused not by internal market strength,but by fear...
fear that the market may 'cheong' up continuously from there without them on board...

Thus, 'bargain' snappers bring on the rallies as the big boys withhold their selling sprees.

But usually, no amount of sensible talk will change that natural behaviour...

Like you said, how can desperate emergency action (frantic bailouts) turn a fundamentally bad economic situation into a rosy delicious one? The stock market only thrives in a strong economy.

Mr Song from CMIB-GK.. Economists look into '09 and stare into more gloom....

'It shouldn't be compared to the Asian financial crisis or the dotcom bubble, where there were still pockets of growth. What we now see is a synchronised slowdown across the world,' he said.

His base case forecast for GDP growth is 2.5 per cent for this year, and 0 to 2 per cent for 2009.

Anticipating that accelerated fiscal spending takes time to work its way through the economy, whereas falling demand hits headline GDP rates far quicker, Mr Song's worst case projection for 2009 is a negative 3 to 5 per cent in GDP growth.

Now there is two tigers in one mountian, just like mahathir (old time) 20 or more year ago when Mahathir is strongman for PM job, so is deputy PM strongman..ANWAR., very iconic what power and greed can bring to oneself, with this come more $$$ into the pocket for the rich horses who back the right horse.

Anwar. Political strong man for the opposition did not get the PM job after offering himself....A doubtful starter for such prime post. the highest post after AGONG.

Since then and now that Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who is under intense pressure to quit, he has done so. His deputy is now in waiting, yet B4 the deputy can settle down, there is five to offer (himself) the deputy post to the current deputy Prime Minister How iconic (Power n Greed can do to oneself).
