Sideway consolidation has begun

[phantom_opera]

With today's 3% mini-crash in Shanghai Stock Market and US Fed "talking down" the stock market ... we have entered the next phase of central bank manipulation ... they want everything to go sideway

low growth, low return ... better go home and sleep

[roly8]

a breakup to the north?

The market has been over-brought recently... its time for correction

This is just the foretaste (speculation). The FED have not done anything yet, let alone anything substantial. The day hot money starts to unwinds will be worse than terrorism

The Singapore economy grew a better-than-expected 1.3 per cent last year

=> 1.3% is "better-than-expected" ... our ST reporter really silly

but median family income up 7.5% with inflation at almost 5% ... if this trend continues ... we inflate ourselves until the moon liao

well self inflicted labour shortage and cost of automation. will continue to push up basic cost. This will continue to fan inflation. I call this self inflicted by what the people wants.

So we have to live with it. coz thats what "we" wanted right?

"The statements described by Mr Liew were made during an exchange between Mr Low and Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on the issue of whether the dependency ratio ceiling for foreign workers could be managed by specific industries instead of by broad industry clusters.
It was not a debate on the growth rate of foreign workers or the input of foreign workers to the workforce.

In fact, Mr Low made clear his stand on foreign workers in his speech in Parliament during the same Budget debate last year.

He said: "I agree we should not be over-reliant on foreign workers; we should not allow foreign workers to take away Singaporeans' rice bowls. This is not protectionism, but a responsibility of the Government to the people. However, we also know that we have limited population, (and) we need foreign workers to fill up the gap in our domestic labour market."

"Workers' Party's proposal for a zero-foreign manpower growth in this decade"

maybe ur vision have problem? oh forgot WP just doing flip flop.

WP Paper call for freeze then next moment say not. so wats the real deal? talk so cheap?

and dumb wood head like u believe all the dump.


"WP needs to decide on its stand - and stick to it
THE Population White Paper raises serious issues about our future and therefore warrants committed and honest debate in Parliament.

Last week's discussions were robust and passionate, drawing the best from our MPs.

However, I am concerned about some apparent contradictions voiced by the Workers' Party (WP) on the issue of foreign workers.

During the Budget debate in Parliament last year, WP chief Low Thia Khiang criticised government measures to tighten the foreign worker inflow.

He argued that this was done too quickly and should happen at a slower and more gradual pace.

As an operator of a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), I saw merit in his argument.

Moreover, since foreign workers are crucial to our companies, Mr Low expressed concern that many SMEs would have to shut down.

To my dismay and shock, the WP seems to have changed its stance on foreign workers this year.

It now advocates a freeze on foreign worker numbers in Singapore ("MPs spar over WP plan to grow local workforce, cap foreign labour"; Feb 6).

The foreign worker issue is undoubtedly a serious one as it directly affects our economy and the livelihoods of many Singaporeans, many of whom are employed by SMEs.

The WP needs to decide on its stand and stick to it.

Singaporeans like me need to know what its position is.
