Na Tan decided to quit, and now many ordinary folks will never know how will it be, his score.?.

Dr Tony Tan knew it from day one. A Govt “blessing” could end up being, a kiss of political death.

That why...Dr Tony Tan took pains to pre-emptively allay concerns regarding his independence,

He now want to be seen as independence of LKY for this EP election.

Even without the Govt’s tacit or express endorsement, the reality is...Dr Tony Tan is widely seen as the Govt’s preferred candidate. It is something he will have to grapple with going into the campaign. who he had been associated with staunch support for 27 years as PAP party cadre member to LKY.

Independence has become a prominent theme in the lead-up to the presidential election.

All three hopefuls have a PAP background.

Dr Tan Cheng Bock was a well-liked and outspoken veteran PAP MP.

Mr Tan Kin Lian, former NTUC Income CEO, a former PAP branch secretary. In May GE 2011, Mr Tan spoke at the rallies of the NSP and at SDP. So Mr Tan also has his work cut out.

Thk Qs for d timely remindering, and even setting an example.

Believe it remain un-change (no change) for trade between and from 0.20 cents onward to a dollar.

EG: - $0.205 and next range is $0.210 and next is $0.215 and so on...

correct me if wrong.

REMINDER : The Game Changes on Monday

Come Monday (4th July) onwards, there will be a change to the minimum bid size of SGX listed securities. For stocks priced below 20 cents, the new minimum spread will be 0.1 cent. Stocks priced from 20 cents to $1.995 will be trading on a 0.5 cent spread, while stocks $2.00 and above will have a minimum spread of 1 cent.

[## WASTING TRADER'S TIME ? ? ? ? ##]

[## FOOD PRICES INCREASE by S$0.50 and WHY nOt by S$0.05 each time ? ? ? ? ##]

Sometimes smaller is better
According to SGX, the spread reduction will help to reduce trading costs, which could lead to significant savings for the high frequency traders. For retail investors, the spread change will help in setting more precise profit taking or cut loss levels.

[## Misleading argument ? ? ? ? ## ]

[## REAL FIXED COST is in HIGH BROKERAGE ? ? ? ? ##]

Game changers on their way
In view of the changes, Macquarie will be listing 12 new warrants on Monday for investors to take advantage of the reduced spreads. The new warrants will have higher warrants per share (WPS) and will be priced below 20 cents. As such, the bid/ask spread of the warrants could be as low as 0.1 cent. The warrants could potentially be more sensitive to the underlying stock price movements.

Really? They say default -- and by extension, the debt limit -- violates the 14th Amendment.

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner read aloud from the Constitution at a Politico breakfast last month.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Amid fears the United States risks default if lawmakers don't raise the debt ceiling on time, some are suggesting President Obama could save the day by big-footing Congress.

How? By invoking the Constitution and directing Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to keep borrowing even if it means going past the statutory borrowing limit.

The amendment states: " The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned."

Debt ceiling: Just do it

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-24/americans-see-debt-threat-reject-tax-scare-.html

Americans say that the $14.3 trillion U.S. debt threatens the economy and that entitlement programs may go broke even as they dismiss as “scare tactics” the arguments offered by Republicans and Democrats who are debating a solution.

More than 60 percent of those surveyed say that interest on the debt may lead to a recession and that the rising costs of Medicare and Social Security represent real dangers, according to the poll conducted June 17-20.

Public skepticism extends to the negotiations in Washington between the White House and congressional Republicans to reach a deal on reducing spending and raising the nation’s debt limit. In the past, Congress has lifted the debt ceiling to allow the government to borrow more money without debate.

This year, Republicans are using the once pro-forma vote as an opportunity to press for spending reductions, an issue that normally is negotiated separately. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said he will run out of options for staving off a default by Aug. 2, 2011.

“Every year you’ve got more and more people getting on the govt bill and more borrowing, now less and less people is paying,” said Jason Gibson, 28, a truck driver from Romulus, Michigan. “You get too many people on one side of the ship, it’s going to tip.”

CNNMoney -- Greece has pulled itself back from the brink for now by agreeing to a painful austerity package.

On Thursday, lawmakers are set to vote on how to implement those unpopular reforms. Then the country is expected to secure the final $17 billion of a $156 billion international relief package to pay its bills for the next three months.

The latest cash infusion means Greece will be able to stave off an immediate default. But is not out of the woods. Giving some short-term relief to markets

Greece is now expected to begin negotiations with the European Union and International Monetary Fund for another bailout, said Wolfango Piccoli, a director at the Eurasia Group in London.

" The next round of emergency aid is expected to range between $172 billion and $216 billion, which would cover Greece's expenses through 2014," as with the previous deal, the new package will come with conditions.

Officials in EU are hoping to keep Greece solvent long enough to allow other troubled European nations to strengthen and put pressure on Greece to enact the painful reforms passed Wednesday.

At the same time, the European Union is working with Greece's main creditors -- French and German banks -- to roll over some of the nation's debt into longer-term bonds.

" It's unclear how that will be done, on the part of the banks, said Piccoli. " But that's just another measure to gain time, it doesn't diminish the amount of debt that Greece will be left with."

The bottom line is that Greece's ability to repay its debts remains in question.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/poll-japanese-oppose-restarting-closed-reactors-033623689.html

TOKYO (AP) — A poll suggests most Japanese oppose restarting nuclear reactors closed.

Before the March 11 tsunami, about 30% of Japan's electricity was provided by 54 reactors across the country, since the crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, 35 remain closed after maintenance and safety inspections.

A poll released Monday by The Nikkei, a conservative business daily, found nearly 70% opposed restarting reactors now offline. 47% said the number of reactors should be decreased and 21% said they should all be closed.

Newsflash: The radioactive crisis near Fukushima isn't getting any better.

This has been something we discussed in the last few weeks, but now there are some new disturbing details.

From Japan Times:

More than 3 millisieverts of radiation has been measured in the urine of 15 Fukushima residents of the village of Iitate and the town of Kawamata, confirming internal radiation exposure, it was learned Sunday.

Both are about 30 to 40 km from the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, which has been releasing radioactive material into the environment since the week of March 11, when the quake and tsunami caused core meltdowns.

In others words, get ready for more debt rolling over...Whether in time for in favour of PIIGs or in favour of lenders. Time shortly will tell.

Failure to vote for austerity would, essentially, be a move to put the ball back in the court of Europe.

If aid of 12 billion is to come in....the money will not last after Aug and the more debt will be needed (more loan is need) This time...A propose to ROLL over for 5 years.

Dear Folks,

Here is a real chance for Greece to pass a new austerity bill this week, which would mean (in theory) that it is possible get more bailout money, which would mean no imminent default.

According to Kathimerini, there are now 4 PASOK (Papandreou's ruling party) MPs who have signalled their opposition to the measure, at least on some level.

Some are apparently concerned about details, and haven't come out firmly against the plan. It's possible some or all could come back as it is unfolding.

However...read this.

PASOK has 155 seats out of 300 in the Hellenic Parliament, (the vote could be down to a margin of 1.) On Friday, MP Thomas Robopoulos came out against the bill.

Now just to war-game things out a little, oneself have to ask whether the rest of Euro will let Greece default, even if the measure isn't passed. After all, the " bailout" is primarily for the sake of European banks and the other PIIGS.

Welcome to It'$ ea$y: Mini$ter$ Pen$ion

http://www.yeocheowtong.com/Salaries.html

S'pore is at top for salaries,and nos 2 for the ratio of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per person!

Former minister George Yeo lost his seat in Parliament - he is out. Now he now gets S$2,000,000 (US$1,626,360) plus every year for sitting at home and doing nothing for the REST OF HIS LIFE.......and tax-free!!! If he knows he's only got a month to live, he can ask for and get 14 year's pension in a single lump sum - S$28,000,000 (US$22,769,000) tax free, cash up front!

Ministers have to work for at least 8 years to qualify for a pension. A minister's pension is determined based not on his total monthly salary, but only on the pensionable component of this salary at the point of retirement. All salary increases since 1994 have been added to the non-pensionable component, to contain pension costs.

A minister qualifies for the maximum pension of two-thirds of this pensionable component of monthly salary only after having served as an office-holder for 18 years.

The minimum retirement age is 55.

If they are eligible for pension and they are still serving, they get both salary plus pension concurrently!

Finally, these Pensions are exempt from income tax as stated in the Income Tax Act!
