Why don't we get such negative news in Singapore like they do in Australia?
Simple. The press is 100% controlled by the PAP government. ![]()
lionnoisy I hate to say this, but you really do have sub-normal intelligence. Your parents are much better off raising a parrot instead of you.
You always claim that Singapore's GDP per capita (PPP) is higher than Swiss and Japan. Do you know what is the average wage rate of blue collar workers in these countries? In 1995, Japan had a JPY 2,176 [SG$ 32] per hour rate for it's manufacturing workers. What do you think is the manufacturing wage rate for Singapore in 2007 (when economy was at it's prime)? Is it anywhere near $10? ![]()
In most countries, GDP per capita is a good gauge of living standards, but sad to say, it's not the case for Singapore.
If you don't have any intelligence, it's best to keep quiet and keep others guessing, rather than make stupid post to confirm your stupidity.

I hope it happens and I can buy some Australian properties to invest in and later live in when I migrate there.

After you have migrated there, you can register a nick "kangaroonoisy" in AUForums and start bad mouthing Singapore. ![]()
Ooops....think you smart enough not to do what lionnoisy is doing now, can't even manage Singapore, yet want to worry about Australia. Also, if you are a citizen of Australia, you should be more concerned about Australia rather than Singapore, unlike lionnoisy. ![]()
if u look at a boarder picture,u wil wander if Oz is in the rank
of yankee----heavy debt!!
''Net foreign debt declined to $674.2 billion in the March quarter, representing 57.1 per cent of year‑ended December quarter 2008 nominal GDP. Australia's debt servicing ratio – the percentage of export earnings required to meet Australia's debt servicing repayments – fell in the March quarter to 9.8 per cent.''

You don't have answers why Singapore's GDP per capita is higher than Japan, yet the per hour rate for manufacturing is SG$32 / hour?
Believe me when I say, Singapore's recession is going to be worse. FYI, Australia is not even in a recession now, on an annual basis, Australia's GDP grew 0.3%, Singapore's GDP declined 10.1%.

Singapore's debt is 99% of GDP.
S$255 million / S$257 million = 99%

1.hourly rate and GDP
There is no direct relationship between cost and value.
If there is,then the big four car makers in USA ould not fall.
I read that hourly cost of GM worker is US70,if u include their pension.
Following your logic,these big makers will not fall.
Their cars would be sold at very high price.
Pl note that Japan overall GDP grew 10% and SG grew 80 % from 1996
up to end 2008.
I dunt know how japan to cope with so many young graduates from
secondary and U!

2.Is Oz RECESSION proof?
The OZ jobs advertisements drops half in a year ,like SG.
So how?
I am wandering why the loan size going up and more
first time house buyers in the market.
This do not tally with the falling jobs market.

There you go off the tangent again, not replying to what I asked and bringing in new issues to sidetrack everything. Is this the tactic they teach you at PAP cyber counter intelligence? ![]()

You pay the cost of $1,000 for a diamond ring, you get the market value of $1,000 for the diamond ring.
You mean to tell me when you pay $1,000 for a diamond ring, you get the market value of $100,000 for the diamond ring?
You make a good comedian. ![]()

para 4
Domestically, a sharper than expected deterioration in banks’ asset quality, possibly stemming from lower house prices, could constrain credit and deepen the downturn. A high impact tail risk would be a decline of investor confidence in the banks or the sovereign. However, this is highly unlikely given the low level of public debt and track record of sound macroeconomic policies.
13. Although Commonwealth government debt is projected to remain low compared with other advanced economies, several factors argue for continued prudence. While the probability is extremely low, the government may need to assume additional debt on behalf of the banks should they be unable to rollover their significant short-term external liabilities. Guarantees on banks’ deposits and wholesale funding as well as state-government debt, presents an additional, although again similarly low probability risk.

Oh dear,u make a mistake like CSJ.
Other governemnts borrow money to spend.
Majority of Spore gavaman debts are ''borrowing '' from CPF to stuff
interest to CPF members.CPF Board cant take risks to invest .
Therefore CPF members enjoying risk free interest fr
3.5 to 5 % pa.
Wat u quote is gross debt and not for spending.
www.sgs.gov.sg/
2.If u include net assets of Temasek and GIC,which are totally estimated
at US$400 billions,then Spore is just not debt free,but have few bucks!!
International ranking shall take net debt of gavaman,not gross debts!!
3.Many first world dunt take debts as debts.SG do take it very seriouly.

Hi,
No other country dare to write Sect A for reasons of issuing bonds.
They ,incl Oz,just BS the reasons in Sect B.
But there is only one reason--they run out of money!!
http://www.sgs.gov.sg/macro_overview/macrooverview_intro.html
sect A
Unlike many other countries, the Singapore Government does not need to finance its expenditures through the issuance of government bonds as it operates a balanced budget policy and often enjoys budget surpluses. The principal objectives of developing the SGS market are to:
sect B
i. provide a liquid investment alternative with little or no risk of default for individual and institutional investors; ii. establish a liquid government bond market which serves as a benchmark for the corporate debt securities market; and iii. encourage the development of skills relating to fixed income securities and broaden the spectrum of financial services available in (country name).
gggg
read page 11 here then u know SG get a lot of cash...
http://www.imf.org/external/np/sec/pn/2008/pn08107.htm
This is a common sense that Temasek and GIC get few bucks
in banks,US $300 to 400 billions as usually quoted...
So,why do SG really need issuing bond to survive?
But many other countries have to!!
US$ Billion: 247.5

US$ Billion: 85
