Just to comment on the USA oni.
The Americans should know what
is best for themselves and not
depend on their political and
bizness leaders to let them by
the nose.
Happy to see Americans rising
to claim their Rights to Democracy
and Existence as Humans.

I’ve always wondered how companies would deal with various threats to cloud computing. If users start shifting all their data to the cloud, who is culpable when all that data gets wiped out by a virus, or personal info stolen? Sounds like the IBM mainframe is the way to go. I had not heard about it before – thanks for the informative post.

Given the scenario you cited ,the United States of America is relatively safe and will remain the strongest military power
in the world.China will be beset by its own social and political problems and the aftermath is unimaginable.
Politics in America will be nationalistic and I am not surprised the President,whether Democrat or Republican will invoke the Alien Enemy Act on some countries for its own existence.

“Think of the American economy as a large apartment block. A century ago—even 30 years ago—it was the object of envy. But in the last generation its character has changed. The penthouses at the top keep getting larger and larger. The apartments in the middle are feeling more and more squeezed and the basement has flooded. To round it off, the elevator is no longer working. That broken elevator is what gets people down the most.” Lawrence Katz, Harvard University economist, 2010

He should follow the example of the Japanese leaders to offer to resign and publicly apologise for his mistakes. By the way the older generation of Japanese leaders with the samurai spirit and tradition would have proceeded to commit seppaku. In fact all those people in GIC and Temasek Holdings should also have gracefully done so after hanging their heads in shame. However these shameless lot still deem it fit to stay in their position snugly and draw remuneration when they have failed abjectly.

Its rather tragic thata stalwart former Deputy Premier and Strong Leader of the PAP has made such a bad call during the 2008 Economic Downturns in North America largely because of George W Bush’s Failures as President and Global Leader !A lot of people and Insitutions and national Soveeign Funds lost money Singapore perhaps is an exceptional case only in the huge size of its loss ! What is surely lamentable and a tragedy is that such movements of the Sovereign Funds of the Singapore Nation weren’t openly published as a matter of the People’s Right to know, after all its their collective money !

I think the bomb they received from the deflating net worth of Citibank and UBS was, at least, mitigated by the fact that a lot of other big institutions and sovereign funds were also similarly hit. In this context, this can be used as an escape clause for them. But what is unpardonable is the fact that when the whole mini-bond saga and the intricately mixed matrix of world financial institutions were starting to unravel to show their real financial position, removing the myth surrounding their invincibility, the Singapore Government chose to dispose off Bank of America without looking at the mid term horizon, but going for very short term “gain” (which were, in fact, not gain but mitigating the loss). If they had held it for another year they would have shown tremendous profit. These particular BOA saga where their management staff goofed big time showed that they were inept in playing the financial game on the world stage. Warren Buffet made an astute decision in buying into Goldman Sachs in 2008 and was immediatedly rewarded the next year. GIC bought into a lame duck JP Morgan in the same year.

Oh!
Is it true?
Tony offered to use his expertise
and
professionalism to help Sin during
the Presidential Election Campaigns
He predicted like anybody else that
the World Economy
will suffer downturn and Singapore
will be affected.

With the Revelation here, it just
proved that Tony had better
professionalism and expertise in
salesman talk than in financial
matter.
