  Singapore Growth Rate is slowing down ,as the World Demand for Electronics dropping
  
  So the best is to liquid the funds on hand and have more cash savings by oct 2007
  
  Kind of worrying trend as everyone rice bowl is at stake soon
  
  just last friday Straits Times index is at 3548 pts ...almost reaching the expected value of 4000
  
  It means the economy is reaching saturation .. agree or disagree ?

  Like how huh
  
  Hardly have enough to make ends meet now...... how to 'prepare' for 2008
  
  btw..... between the power to predict when the next recession is coming or the next winning 4D number is...... It is better to 'train' yourself for the latter.

  it's serious..
  
  there is some talks of a global economic downturn in 2009.
  
  This is because there is an worldwide demographic shift due to the baby boomers retiring and/or satisifed with their life thus a major drop in big-ticket purchases..

  really ? sure? confirm?
  
  Sure 2008 recession?
  
  According to study
  
  There are more millionairs recently
  
  Even in Singapore , the millionairs have
  
  increased
  
  IF 2008 is going to be a recession
  
  the the IR bound to be a Failure
  
  Does it mean Genting invest wrongly
  
  into IR?
  
  Means all the Investor blind?
  
  so Do Whole world Economy only depend on Electronics
  
  So if lesser ppl buy PS3 , Tv and so on
  
  Bond to have recession?
  
  Sure?
  
  and Singapore TOP property developer also
  
  also how any predict?

  Economic Cycles is a 10 yrs cycle .... no one cant stop the falling trend if it really happen
  
  Japan Central Bank have in the past step in to prevent the Yen falling sharply against US dollar , but incurred heavier losses ,as it mean higher interest rates for housing loans
  
  increase transparency of the Bank does not mean a economic crisis wont happen
  
  Germany have a rich financial institution but still they have downward growth after reunification till this few recent years , all due to the fact of restructuring to accomodate and finance the eastern Germany ailing economy .
  Only recently they managed to rebound due to strong revenue from investment in Eastern Europe
  
  
  
  Bank earn also based on actively investment in the stock market
  
  the Stock Market Index also based on the increase of foreign investment in Singapore
  
  Singapore have no natural resource , Human labour is the only form of natural resource
  
  We cannot based on an VIP comment that economic crisis wont come and start to be complacent .
  History told us ,it strike the economy at the unexpected time ,like during the 1987 Stock Market Crashes
  
  to be prepared is the best insurance against huge losses and financially sound future

  If economy downturn, shrink, GDP growth drop and even go in the negative region, will the minister cut their pay? Good time, pay up, bad time will pay go down?
  
  During singapore 40 years and so, is there any instance minister pay ever drop once?
