Matters of Chee II--U r wat u quote

You are what you write .You are what you quote also!!

CSJ just quote without thinking!!

The learned Dr Chee PhD like to quote,but quote wrong info

Ohio Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur., a long-time free trade skeptic, warned on Wednesday that the United States may come to regret allowing major Wall Street banks to sell sizable ownership stakes to foreigners.

"Foreign capital indebts us more than the face value of the transaction," she said. "This kind of borrowing means America is no longer free. We owe, and our children will owe ... And they won't owe Uncle Sam. They'll owe the premier of Communist China, the king of Saudi Arabia, the emir of the United Arab Emirates, the bank of Singapore."...

2.The ''a 13-term lawmaker who is now the senior female Democrat in the House of Representatives'' just forget ''foreign parties control 46% ($2.2 trillion) of $4.9 trillion of outstanding Treasury bond and T-Bill dominated debt - at the end of 2006.''

So what is the big deal of adding 10 to 50 billions to $2.2 TRILLION,
Dr Chee and the Honorable Congresswoman?

Can US stop borrowing loans?Of course ,no way!!

2.Migration is not emigration
Dr Chee and

Dr Arthur Waldron,Lauder Professor of International Relations in the Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania cant understand
Net migration rate:.
They think,or they too busy to read the note fr CIA,that migration
is emigration.In fact the figure shows ''difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year per 1,000 persons (based on midyear population). An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration.(e.g., 3.56 migrants/1,000 population)''

So,the Professor said ,without quoting the source,''The reason: to fill jobs left vacant as native born Singaporeans continue to emigrate at what is perhaps the second highest rate in the world (an estimated 26.11 per thousand, second only to East Timor.)''

Thats is how 85,500 computed.

Pl note that CIA has just amended 26.11 per 1000 to ''7.98 migrant(s)/1,000 population (2007 est.)''

With the latest figure fr CIA,the resultant migration figure,net gain,
is 36,000.

FYI.there are immgration 100,000 to SG in 2005 and 2006 a year.

3.Only the bad news in SDP/CSJ web site
Why CSJ just put the bad news of SG ,like I always zoom on Oz?

4.What are the stands of CSJ on Temasel/GIC inject captials
on MNC and migration issues
I am looking forward to his valuable opinions.

Matters of JI-- more important issues for u now

lionnoisy just post without thinking which is a issue more important, but me noisylion look at whole forrest not individual tree:

the unlearned lionnoisy like to start topics, but start wrong topics.

SINGAPORE (AFP) - The alleged leader of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) militant network in Singapore escaped Wednesday from custody, the Ministry of Home Affairs said.

Mas Selamat bin Kastari escaped from a local detention centre at 4:05 PM (0805 GMT), the ministry said in a news release.

"Mas Selamat was the leader of the Singapore JI network. He walks with a limp and is presently at large," it said, adding he was not known to be armed. "Extensive police resources have been deployed to track him down."

Kastari was accused of planning to hijack a plane and crash it into Changi Airport in Singapore.

Dozens of paramilitary Nepalese Gurkhas from a special Singapore Police contingent were deployed every few metres along roads surrounding the detention centre near the upscale Raffles Town Club. Large vans from the Police Special Operations Command patrolled the area.

A police spokesman told AFP late Wednesday that they had not caught the suspect.

The ministry announced in June 2006 that Kastari and four other JI members had been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for detention without trial.

Kastari was arrested by Indonesian authorities in East Java in January that year before being handed over to Singapore.

Singapore, a staunch US ally, has said it remains a top target for extremists.

Officials have said extremists planned to attack a bus carrying Americans to a subway station in 2001, but authorities foiled the attack by arresting 15 people including members of JI.

Authorities have blamed JI for a string of regional attacks, including the 2002 bombings in the Indonesian resort island of Bali, which killed 202 people.

In world class system is this acceptable?

Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng has cited a lapse in security at the Whitley Detention Centre on Wednesday as the cause for the escape of JI member Mas Selamat Kastari.

He told MPS who had raised the matter in Parliament, that Mas Selamat had been taken from his cell to another part of the detention centre for a visit from his family. He then asked to be allowed to visit the toilet,where he escaped.

"This should have never have happened. I am sorry that it has" said Mr Wong in an update to the House, adding that an independent investigation is underway.

The Home Affairs Minister went on to say that security at the centre has been stepped up and there should not be any speculation on what and how the escape happened.

Mr Wong described Mas Selamat as a security threat, which is why he was placed under preventive detention. But added that officials are not taking any chances even though there is no information that Mas Selamat has any plans that threaten public security.

As to why the public was informed of the escape only some four hours after it happened, Mr Wong said the focus was to lock down the detention centre before starting a systematic operation to search for the fugitive and arrest him. That was because the security assessment was that the escape posed no imminent danger to the public.

Mr Wong said the arrest of Mas Selamat remains a priority and there will be no effort spared in tracking him down. Security at all land, sea and air checkpoints have been tightened, including areas where there's possibility of slipping out of Singapore.

In the meantime, Mr Wong has urged the public to stay calm and to report any suspicious sighting to the police, reminding that any help given to Mas Selamat is a serious crime.

International media:

SINGAPORE (AP) -- The Singapore government apologized Thursday for a rare security lapse after an alleged Islamic terror leader escaped from jail, triggering a massive manhunt across the island nation for a man who walks with a limp.

Mas Selamat Kastari, who had allegedly plotted to hijack a plane and crash it into Singapore's Changi airport, slipped away from a detention center on Wednesday, authorities said. Mas Selamat is said to be commander of the al-Qaida linked Jemaah Islamiyah's Singapore arm.

Minister of Home Affairs Wong Kan Seng said Mas Selamat escaped after being taken from his cell to go to a room to wait for his family who were scheduled for a visit.
