PM LEE - Singapore economy affected at least a year.... dah

 

SINGAPORE - The problems afflicting US and European banks will hurt Singapore and other emerging Asian economies for at least a year, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday.

 

 

'Asian countries cannot avoid the impact of weakening US, European and Japanese economies. We must prepare for a rough ride at least over the next year, and quite possibly longer,' Mr Lee said at a meeting of Indian expatriates in Singapore.

 

'In Singapore, our growth is already slowing, but our financial system is sound, and our economy remains competitive,' he added.

 

Singapore eased monetary policy on Friday for the first time since 2003 after the Southeast Asian economy sank into its first recession in six years and as the meltdown in financial markets threatened to further hit growth.

 

The city-state's export-dependent economy shrank an annualised and seasonally adjusted 6.3 per cent in the July-September quarter, advance government estimates showed, compared with the 1.1 per cent growth forecast by economists in a Reuters poll. -- REUTERS

Difference betwen Warren and MM? The former invest his own money...he lose it, it's his. The latter uses other people's money (i.e.yours and mine)...he lose it, it's not his.

Honestly and frankly nobody expected the crisis to unfold this way.... It will only get worst... [crazy]

 

As tycoon Oei Hong Leong said the credit crisis is likely to worsen and Europe will have a harder time than the United States.

 

Mr Oei thinks the US government has the capacity to bail out its banks but

reckons Europe is in

Need to let our MTI to tell us meh? Many analysts were already voicing the R words two months ago before the Black Monday.

 

Our SM Goh still makes the "honest mistake" on Sept 29th, expressing optimistism in our economy. He and George Bush are the champion. [:)]

MM- is a global salesman

SM- regional salesman

PM- Local salesman

FM- universe salesman

Must look at positive [crazy]

 

For young couple getting new flat - 6 month the road, the price will be cheaper

 

For those with extra cash - bank loan interest rate will definitely go up. Higher FD

 

For those who planning to go holiday - can look at Aussie, NZ, South Korea or even Iceland [sunny] where their currency weaken compare with Sing dollar.

 

For those with car - petrol will definitely be lower 6 month down the road..

 

And for those gambler/investor - stock market plunge provide good opportunity 2 buy.... (dont ask me about the bottom, I also dont know)

Speaking about HDB flat.

 

11 yrs ago, SM, then PM launched Punggol 21.

1 yrs ago, PM re-launched with Punggol 21+

 

With this big R on the wall and perhaps a prolong one, I suppose I will see Punggol 21 ++ in 10 years time.

 

See which salesman will be making the speech and will just in time for son to apply for Punggol 21 ++.
