ctstalin SG How come singapore wanna be a hub in everything? Banking, pharmaceutical, finance, biotech, medical, education, airline transportation, shipping, eye-ops, gambling, prostitution, etc jus to name a few singapore garmen si siao si bo...
Medicated Oil SG Shipping - already losing to a canal in Thailand Aerospace - Was Good, Now going DOWN Medical - Maybe Banking - Just opening more foreign talent to the SPG in Singapore Finance - With all the control and Obvious Intranspancies of GIC Tourism - Where to go ? Do we provide any good service ??? Education - Good rip-off place for China student who want an free education
sbst275 SG Shipping??? We shall see as how Thai build up their ports... Already cannot handle 3M TEU, can to talk abt 20M TEU
ditzy SG How does that add up? Here's an example. SingTel made 53 times that amount in underlying profit ending 3rd quarter sept last year.
mach10 SG to start off, Real Estate Ind - - - All lands belongs to Gov!! DW earn 14Mil... oh pls, they rely heavily on resale HDB... how? economy bad or good, people either downgrade of upgrade. sure sell. If u wana see Real Estate,... see how the developers are doing, not the property agencies. Real estate follows the financial market in a way. Singapore soo small... no land to build, go build on the reclaimed land lor. Still, Gov owns them.
Quincey SG Sounds like dooms day's near har? So what should we do - run away? Or just go into hibernation and awake 100 years later when the polar ice caps have melt and so we'll die anyway. Ooh yes, theres another alternative, embrace Malaysianism.. hmm maybe if we go into alliance with PAS we have a chance of winning the election. Hey ppl come on.. snap out of it la! If Singapore fails, who are the biggest losers - us. Those in the upper end of society prob will jet off to some exotic getaway.Instead of groaning and whining that dooms days near, we should step out of our comfort zones and do something abt the impending doom that everyone is predicting that is abt to befall us. I'm sorry if I offend anyone of you, but I think wad is written here needs to be said.
sbst275 SG Well... It all depends Thailand vs China Thailand has the technology, but labour quality is low (The Toyota cars are 1 example) China may not have the technology, but the labour quality is better than Thailand at least Underestimte? A mega port is never built overnight
iveco SG The Kra canal may do us some good. It will also steal traffic from Malaysian ports, so there is one less sticking point in Singapore's relations with Kuala Lumpur.
sbst275 SG Thailand will try to steal transhipment trade from us But never hear from them they are upgrading their ports
