MHA to consider extra police powers to manage teen gangs
MHA to consider extra police powers to manage teen gangs
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s Home Affairs Ministry is studying whether the police require additional powers to intervene early, in dealing with teen gangs.
Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam on Tuesday told Parliament that the intent is to go "upstream" and disrupt even the formation of loose gang associations.
Some examples of such powers could include issuing directives to at—risk youths to abide by curfew hours and issuing directives to attend intervention programmes.
ALL TEENS must not gather in group of more than 2 and must be home before 7:00pm
nO smoking and no long hair allowed
Mr Shanmugam acknowledged there has been understandable public concern over recent reported gang violence.
He stressed that the police take a serious view of such violence.
Other than the people arrested in relation to the Downtown East and Bukit Panjang incidents, police have rounded up 93 suspected gang members since end—October 2010.
Police will continue their island—wide sweep.
Overall crime rates have fallen in the last five years and the rates for crimes against persons and violent property crimes in particular, have also remained low and stable over the past five years.
Hence, Mr Shanmugam felt the need to assess the current situation with the right perspective.
The minister emphasised that the two recent cases do not suggest that Singapore’s crime situation is worsening or that the country’s policing efforts are not adequate.
Singapore continues to be one of the cities with the lowest crime rates in the world.
At the same time, the number of rioting cases is not going up.
In fact, it has been coming down steadily.
Between 2005 and 2009, rioting cases fell from 489 cases to 283 cases.
Between January and September this year, there were 214 rioting cases.
Cases with secret society connotations have also generally decreased says the Mr Shanmugam.
He added there is also an equal need to invest in preventive and rehabilitative efforts for at—risk youths and youth offenders.
The National Youth Guidance and Rehabilitation Committee coordinates preventive and rehabilitative programmes to tackle youth delinquency.
One of the activities is the Streetwise Programme to help youths disassociate from gangs.
Mr Shanmugam said the rehabilitative efforts have seen encouraging results.
Of the 229 youths who completed the Streetwise Programme from 2005 to 2008, less than 10 per cent of them have re—offended within one year of completing the programme.
More will be done with the new Central Youth Guidance Office (CYGO) set up in July this year.
It coordinates inter—agency efforts to tackle youth delinquency and is studying solutions to enhance outreach to at—risk youths and coordinate intervention services.

ever since the World Financial Tsunami, USD deposit has no interest.
For the balance that you do not intend to invest, can consider converting to AUD which pays the BEST interest for a good currency.
Are you getting interest for your USD FD ?
This is unusual ?

Topics:Investing Ideas & Strategies
John Gabriel, On Wednesday May 12, 2010, 7:00 am EDT
The dust is still settling and fingers are still being pointed in the aftermath of what is now being called the "flash crash." Sorting out the mess will require much time and likely result in more fingers being pointed in multiple directions, but we simply have to accept the fact that markets will occasionally suffer bouts of extreme volatility--and be properly prepared to ride those waves until calmer waters prevail.
While at this point there seems to be more questions than answers, we can't help but feel for some of the unsuspecting victims of this erroneous market action. But the first step in avoiding disasterous results in the short term is to avoid taking potentially perilous actions. Followers of Morningstar's exchange-traded fund research are more than likely familiar with our strong preference toward using limit orders when executing ETF trades. This helps ensure that you get a price at or extremely close to the fund's net asset value. After all, in a properly functioning market, a fund is worth simply as much as its constituent parts. If you are selling and not getting something very close to fair value, we would recommend not selling at all.
One type of trade that we vehemently avoid more than any other is known as a "stop-loss" order.
Consider yourself warned: If you perform an online search for this term, you're likely to find some misleading definitions. For instance, you may come across an explanation like, "setting a stop-loss order for 10% below the price you paid for the security will limit your loss to 10%."
Our main problems with this statement are that it is blatantly false, imparts a false sense of security, and can lead to truly disasterous results.
Such misinformation likely makes employing a stop-loss strategy sound appealing to a risk-averse investor who cannot actively monitor his portfolio. In the case of a traditional stop-loss order, once the "stop" price is reached, a market order to sell the security is entered. Hence, the trade will be made but not necessarily at or near the predetermined stop price. As was the case last Thursday, if there is insufficient liquidity or the market is moving quickly, there's a good chance that the order could fill at unfavorable prices.
In order for a fund to trade near net asset value, the prices of all of the individual securities in a fund must be known. A mutual fund accomplishes this by waiting to the end of the day. This periodic pricing masks the intraday volatility. There is little risk for the mutual fund company because all of the prices at the end of the day are known. But for an ETF, which trades throughout the day, waiting until the end of the day to set a price is not possible. Instead, the ETF depends on arbitrage. In order to keep the price trading near net asset value, a trader needs to be able to quickly calculate the net asset value. The magnitude and urgency of the calculations lends itself to electronic and algorithmic trading.
When volatility increases, so does the uncertainly of the net asset value. In response, a market maker is going to widen out his bid-ask spreads and reduce trading until after making an assessment of market activity. The market makers and algorithmic traders are using sophisticated order instructions. They are not going to make market orders when they have no idea where the market is. As an individual investor, we need to be aware of when our trades are going to be executed and at what price. After all, a stop-loss order is a very unsophisticated form of algorithmic trading. It becomes a market order precisely when volatility has increased.
To paraphrase Peter Lynch, if you buy a stock with a stop-loss of 10%, the only thing you are guaranteeing is that you'll lose 10% on that trade. We couldn't agree more. In fact, we often quip that a more appropriate name for stop-loss order would be guaranteed loss order. Those of us who experienced the violent volatility that was so prevalent at the height of the credit crisis should also agree with Lynch's point of view on the matter.
Of course, there are likely many investors/traders who swear by the use of stop-loss orders. A popular strategy we've started to hear more of as people dip their toes back into the market is the use of trailing stop orders. Such dynamic orders are used with the intention of maximizing profit when a security's price is rising and limiting losses when it falls. For example, a $1 trailing stop on a $20 security would be triggered if the price fell to $19 or below. However, if that security were to rise to, say, $25 (without breaching the $1 trailing stop) then the stop price would reset to $24, thereby helping the investor "lock-in profits."
Frankly, if you have such little confidence in your investment, you probably should not own it in the first place. But if utilizing stop-loss orders is something you're comfortable with as part of your investment strategy, we'd simply advise that you make sure to use limits. There are "stop-limit" orders and "trailing stop-limit" orders available. While just placing a stop-loss order will trigger a market order, these stop-limit orders will result in limit orders being placed if the predetermined price is breached. This can mean a world of difference in erratic and volatile markets.
Consider the hypothetical investor who had a 10% stop-loss on an ETF sitting out on the market last Thursday when things went haywire. As soon as the 10% decline was registered, there would have been a simple market order entered for that investor to sell his shares. Because the NYSE went into "slow mode" in order to step back and try to make sense of the chaos, trades spilled over into other exchanges in search of "bids" (courtesy of Regulation NMS). When the NYSE slowed, it shifted to 30-second or one-minute intervals, as opposed to the fractions of a second we'd typically see under "normal" market conditions.
The problem was that the NYSE was the only exchange to go into "slow mode." What happened was there was a large influx of sell orders but very few buy orders. In between these slowed intervals at the NYSE, the market sell orders (which had no specified "ask" price) went out onto other exchanges looking for bids to hit. Unfortunately, during this (very short) chaotic period, many market makers widened their bid-ask spreads enormously until they could figure out what was happening. In effect, the market makers were stepping away from the market. However, the market sell orders coming through the system were looking for bids to hit, regardless of how erroneous they were at that given instant.
The result was the malaise witnessed last Thursday--ETFs representing ownership of hundreds of stocks trading down 60% or more from the prices they were traded at less than an hour before. In our example above, what was supposed to be a limited loss of 10% essentially turned into a loss of 60% to 100%, and most of those losses were recovered in a matter of minutes for those who wisely held their postitions. This happened because there weren't any "real" bids at that moment in time. One moral of the story is to avoid using market orders. Moreover, it always pays to know what the value of your investment is at any given time. Thankfully, with ETFs you can always check the intraday indicative values, which are published every 15 seconds throughout the trading day.

Createwealth8888:Stop LossStop loss is when you pre-determine your own exit price to take the loss and walk away. It is just one of those bad trades and it is not that painful as the loss tends to be smaller.Cut LossCut loss is different from Stop Loss. Cut loss is when you felt so hopeless at the falling stock price and it has reached your threshold of pain. You bite your finger and sell it and move to the sideline for a while. Cut loss is usually bigger and more painful.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BT, Wed, May 26, 2010, Singapore Resisting the urge to sell lowWhen stock markets lurch, hasty decisions taken at anxious moments can be extremely costly to investors IF you've got money in the stock market, take a deep breath: It's one of those moments. The market is lurching, and that is precisely when impulsive behavior can hurt the most. Investing can be a delightful pastime when stocks are rising. When they are falling - which has often been the case lately - it can be excruciating. But hasty decisions taken at anxious moments can be extremely costly. 'When a lot of people reach their threshold of pain, they sell their stocks and try to move to more secure holdings.' 'When a lot of people reach their threshold of pain, they sell their stocks and try to move to more secure holdings - cash, bonds, Treasuries,' said Louis S Harvey, president of Dalbar, a fund research firm in Boston. 'These decisions don't work out very well for most people.' Over the long haul, the average investor has badly underperformed the overall stock market: Through December, over the last 20 years, the average stock fund investor has had annualised returns of only 3.2 per cent, compared with 8.2 per cent for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, according to Dalbar. Short-sighted moves in down periods account for much of the deficit, Mr Harvey said. Lately, anxiety among investors undoubtedly has been rising. The flash crash of May 6 - the biggest intraday swing in market history - didn't help. Shortly after 2.30pm that day, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 1,000 points - and then came most of the way back, all in a matter of minutes. The causes of that sharp drop aren't yet entirely clear, although they appear to be related in part to glitches in the connections of lightning-quick computerised stock trading across the United States. In response, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last week said it would temporarily impose 'circuit breakers' on stocks in the S&P 500 when they have fallen 10 per cent or more in a five-minute period. The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission say they are still studying the crash, but don't yet understand it. And then there's the Greek crisis. Since the announcement of a nearly US$1 trillion bailout package for Greece and other fiscally strained eurozone countries, turmoil in global markets has not abated. Despite an upturn on Friday, stocks have been choppy; the dollar, Treasury bonds and gold prices have risen; and oil and the euro have plummeted. Professional asset managers have been responding as best they can. Robert C Doll, vice-chairman and global chief investment officer for equities at BlackRock, the investment management firm, says he thinks the American market is likely to remain relatively volatile for an extended period - and then resume its climb. In addition to the angst caused by the flash crash, and the problems in Europe, Doll points to the bear market in China and the threat of economic slowdown there, as well as domestic issues in the United States. These include continuing uncertainty about regulatory reform, investigations into the activities of Goldman Sachs and other banks, and the unsettled state of the American economy. He says two other 'scenarios' are possible, but much less likely. One is a global meltdown, with the Greek crisis morphing into 'Lehman II', the probability of which has been reduced by prompt action by European authorities. And the other is a quick resumption of the roaring bull market that took the S&P 500 up 80 per cent. But there are too many problems for that to be very likely in the next month or two, he said. For long-term diversified investors, he said, it probably makes sense to ride out the storm, and, maybe, add to your holdings. 'Keep your shoulder harness on, and your seatbelt secured, and your life should be OK,' he said.There are even reasons to be encouraged by the health of the global economy, said Larry Hatheway, chief economist and chief strategist at UBS Investment Bank. While he acknowledged the negative effects of the 'sovereign debt crisis' in Europe and myriad problems elsewhere, he also said: 'Signs of growth are very strong and incoming data is beating expectations, and this is true in all major economies, in all major regions around the world.' Corporate profits are surging, Mr Hatheway said. Firms that cut costs in the recession are reaping immediate bottom-line benefits as revenue rises in a global recovery. And, finally, he said, central banks in Europe, the United States and Japan have kept short-term rates 'extraordinarily low, near zero.' 'We've got low rates, strong profits and strong growth,' he said. 'That's a pretty powerful combination to boost stock prices.' It makes sense for big institutions to engage in tactical manoeuvres - buying stocks that seem cheap because of a market drop, for example, and emphasising sectors that may benefit from economic shifts, said Derek L Young, chief investment officer at Fidelity's global asset allocation group. Fidelity is analysing the implications of a possible 'prolonged period of weakness in the eurozone'. One thing you don't want to do, he said, 'whether you're a professional or an individual investor, is to make an emotional judgment about the marketplace.' - NYT "When you are emotional, you make unwise decisions rapidly." - Warren Buffet

Read? Stop loss or Cut loss?By Philips Loh, invest, Nov 21, 2010, the sundaytimes
Some key points noted in the articles:
- The urge to cut loss when stocks fall works against
'buy low, sell high' tactic
- Qualities of a good investor - The most successful investors are those who are able to overcome their innate fear and greed during wild market gyrations, and discern real risks, as opposed to perceived ones. They have a keen awareness of their limitations and predictive powers.
- Associating the wrong reasons with a profitable trade can be damaging to our investment quotient in the longer run.
- We must not forget that the markets are full of predatory players who make a living out of having small investors for lunch. These professionals do so well because they are experts at tricking retail investors into reaching wrong conclusions. Therefore to do well in the investment game, investors must be keenly aware of their instinctive ability to detect a pattern and react accordingly, overcome this instinct. Only then can they raise the probability of scoring gains in the game.

Hospitals don’t make pizzas
Quality treatment will be sacrificed if healthcare providers rush through appointments
Letter from Khoo Ai Leng
IN HIS letter “To encourage on-time appointments ...” (Nov 18), Mr Lim Poh Seng suggested a system of penalties and discounts to help patients and healthcare providers keep to the allocated appointment times.
Pizza-makers may have no qualms in offering such promises on their deliveries, but healthcare providers cannot, simply because no two patients are identical.
While residing in Europe, I had the pleasant experience of never feeling pressured by the long queue outside the consultation room, and always had all my concerns addressed.
But the trade-off is that everyone has to wait that much longer to see the doctor.
Given the ballooning population here, many services are overburdened, hence the tight appointment schedule. Appointments are scheduled closely so more patients can be accommodated on any given day. It is the complexity of the preceding cases that determines the waiting time of the next-in-line.
WRONG ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ? ? ? ?
O V E R H E A R D :
THE TRUTH was SOME DOCTORS were LATE and nOt in the CLINIC and nOt in the CONSULTATION ROOM YET ? ? ? ?

SINGAPORE
Foreign Minister George Yeo replied that while Singapore hopes that diplomatic efforts are more successful, there are limits to what Singapore can do.
“It doesn’t mean if we make stronger speeches or internationalise the issue, that will necessarily help solve this problem,” he added.
The haze problem is complex and is likely to come back from time to time depending on the climate. Mr Yeo said a multi-pronged approach to help Indonesia at the international, regional and corporate level should be taken.
When asked by MP Lee Bee Wah if Singapore can take the issue to international organisations, Mr Yeo said: “It is not just to give emotional satisfaction to our own sense of hurt and grievance ... If we can be effective without commotion, all the better.
But if we need a commotion, well, we’ll have a commotion.
“But the key is to be effective. We try very hard [Is thIs merItOcratIc ? ? ? ?] at all levels to do all we can.”
Environment and Water Resources Minister Yaacob Ibrahim reiterated the work that Singapore has done to help Indonesia combat the haze.
For instance, Singapore has collaborated with Indonesia’s Jambi province to implement initiatives such as haze monitoring, assessing fire-fighting capabilities, as well as capacity building on sustainable land-farming practices.
The number of hot spots in Jambi has been low and Dr Yaacob said it is important to replicate the experience gained there with other local governments in Indonesia.
As the current chair of the Sub-regional Ministerial Steering Committee on Transboundary Haze Pollution, Singapore will work more closely with regional countries to put in place more measures [after 20 years what measures are in place nOw ? ? ? ?]
to prevent [these fires are natural like those in Australia][Fires are put up intentionally by humans] land and forest fires.
“This will avert the need for huge resources required [WHAT RESOURCES are REQUIRED ? ? ? ? and HOW MUCH DO THEY COST ? ? ? ?] by affected countries to tackle the problems after trans-boundary haze occurs,” said Dr Yaacob.
2 DECADES agO befOre 1990 there were absOlUtely nO HAZE at ALL.
This HAZE is nO a natural HAZARD but a purposeful corporate action. [According to reports by GREEN GROUPS]
WHY introduce CARBON TAX on households who are the vIctIms ? ? ? ?
CARBON TAX should be Openly. Fairly, Justly, bOldly, imposed on the cUlprIts:
- HAZE [Indonesian Corporations ? ? ? ?]
- POLLUTION [Jurong Island Industries] and Other manufacturers espeically those chemical related businesses ? ? ? ?
— Despite talks over the years to get Indonesia to stop the haze, the problem still persists. Does this reflect a diplomatic failure on the part of Singapore or Asean, asked Workers’ Party chief Low Thia Khiang in Parliament yesterday.

MPs question how former SLA officers went undetected
Former Singapore Land Authority (SLA) officers Koh Seah Wee and Lim Chai Meng’s ownership of “opulent and luxury cars” puzzled MP Lim Biow Chuan.
He wondered if any measures would be introduced to detect any suspicious ownership of high-value assets by civil servants.
Law Minister K Shanmugam replied: “If someone drives a Lamborghini to SLA’s office, I think it will be picked up.”
Koh and Lim were careful not to drive these cars to their offices and ensured nothing in their lifestyle gave them away, added the Law Minister.
Is Singapore sO bIg ? ? ? ?
WHY TAX Department did not scrutinise OPULENT and luxury Car Owners ? ? ? ?
Earlier, Mr Shanmugam told Parliament that the SLA and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (Ipos) had, among other measures, been strengthening internal audit procedures and reducing the limit for approval of financial transactions.
He added SLA and the Infocomm Development Authority had taken disciplinary action against two officers whose oversight had contributed to the fraud going undetected in SLA.
Koh and Lim purportedly kept the procurement amounts within approval limits and complied with internal guidelines in their alleged crime spree.
Assuring MP Low Thia Khiang — who had asked why investigators did not detect the crimes earlier — the Law Minister said: “If any irregularity comes to light, it will be exposed, swift action will be taken and answers will be given in Parliament.”

Responding to queries from MPs Halimah Yacob and Low Thia Khiang, he said the recent cases at SLA and Ipos “did not come about because of gaps in public sector procurement rules and guidelines”.
He said a review found them to be “fundamentally sound”.
Still, Mdm Halimah was “puzzled” by the minister’s answer as Mr Shanmugaratnam had acknowledged there had been gaps in supervision.
She said: “Obviously, there is some systemic problem there, involving the supervision of officers for auditing purposes.”
Mr Shanmugaratnam disagreed, saying there were rules and guidelines within the
Civil Service which were similar to those of the private sector.
As for the SLA and Ipos, he said: “There was human failure [Is thIs merItOcracy FAILURE ? ? ? ?] — first in supervision and second in audit. There is no reason to believe human failure is widespread but we are alert.”
MERITOCRACY & HIGHEST SALARY DO NOT ELIMINATE FRAUD ? ? ? ?
O V E R H E A R D :
HIGH SALARY ENVIRONMENT INDUCES FRAUD and MORE ? ? ? ?
The MOF had also reminded all government agencies to be vigilant in their supervision of procurement operations to minimise opportunities for fraud.
Each year, the Auditor-General’s Office (AGO) carries out audits of all 15 ministries in Government, all nine organs of state and around 18 other entities — mainly statutory boards.

Mr Shanmugaratnam said that, because the AGO could not audit all 64 statutory boards in all areas annually, it distributed its resources accordingly.
He added the AGO received about 50 cases of feedback, complaints and information of possible wrong-doing yearly.
Workers’ Party chief Low noted the suspected fraud involved “a huge sum” over a long period of time.
He asked: “What are internal audit, external audit and supervision for?
From a layman’s point of view, I suppose it should be very stringent and should safeguard against these happenings.”
But Mr Shanmugaratnam cautioned against adding layers of bureaucracy which might make the Civil Service less efficient.
? ? ? ? To eliminate bureaucracy,
- every ministry should have only two layers of Minister and Ministry Officers ? ? ? ?
- every authority should have only two layers of Authority Chief and Authority Officers ? ? ? ?
- every agency should have only two layeres of Agency Chief and Agency Officers ? ? ? ?

Civil Service’s IT procurement process to be strengthened
Leong Wee Keat
weekeat@mediacorp.com.sg
SINGAPORE
This comes after the alleged $12.47 million fraud at the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore (Ipos).
Acknowledging that IT procurement was “more specialised” than others, the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) will also help draw up the scope of audit for procurement.
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) — which holds the Civil Service’s purse strings — will also encourage the rotation of officers with procurement responsibilities.
A rotation of IDA officers in SLA exposed possible irregularities.
During yesterday’s 20-minute debate, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam assured the House that there are appropriate rules and safeguards for public sector procurement.
There was human failure — first in supervision and second in audit. There is no reason to believe human failure is widespread but we are alert.
Finance Minister
Tharman Shanmugaratnam — The Auditor-General will pay greater attention to IT services procurement and contracts for future audits.

Years ago, i witnessed myself at Resots World Highlands [RWH]
Roulette opened BLACK 18 times consecutively.
T.A. is statistically biased too because its Confirmation is also nOt 100%.
There were times when ALL Confirmations appeared but the result was still nOt confirmed.

I am sure Sifu Pharoah is a chart user, and thus is not against stock charting.
I agree with him because,
even with the best TA or charting tools in the whole world,
one can only place a bet after much 'technical' study the charts.
And this is important: It is still a bet (much like a bet in a casino).
Thus in this context, it is not unreasonable to say it's a 50/50 proposition.
