Aussie ‘kingmaker’ MP declines ministerial post

SYDNEY

Country lawmaker Rob Oakeshott, one of the three independents dubbed “kingmakers” after polls gave neither Ms Gillard or the opposition enough seats to govern, said he had turned down an offer to become Regional Affairs Minister.

Mr Oakeshott said his decision to back Ms Gillard had angered some parliamentary colleagues and he knew this would make it difficult to deliver the US$9 billion ($12 billion) package for rural Australia the independents had negotiated with her. — An independent Australian politician whose support was crucial to keeping Prime Minister Julia Gillard in power on Friday knocked back an offer to become a minister in her minority government.AFP

Growth in West will be ‘constrained’

COPENHAGEN

Making a speech in Copenhagen, Mr Shanmugaratnam said: “To create a new basis for growth we need low taxes, flexible labour markets and social safety nets that are fiscally sustainable,”

The Finance Minister added: “Fiscal entrenchment is a necessity across the Western world. Financial deleveraging has a long way to go.”

In an interview, he said Singapore aims to keep its manufacturing sector contributing between 20 and 25 per cent of gross domestic product in the long term.

“It means moving up the value curve towards more R&D and design-intensive activities,” Mr Shanmugaratnam said. While Singapore is close to the 25-per-cent level, he added that the target was “very ambitious”.

He added: “Singapore is a very good place for prototyping, particularly for companies aiming at Asian markets. Singapore provides the safety for intellectual property.”— Economic growth in the Western world will be constrained “for several years to come” and rapid growth in emerging markets will not be enough to offset “headwinds against growth” in the West, Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said Friday.

City of joy

The charisma of 300-year-old Kolkata never fails nOt to disappoint anyone who passes through

Sandip Hor

travel@mediacorp.com.sg

KOLKATA, previously known as Calcutta, is a city of many incarnations. It evolved from a sleepy coastal village in the 17th century, to classy London on Hooghly — with stately buildings, wide boulevards, gothic cathedrals, colonial clubs and formal gardens — and remained honoured as City Of The Raj until India’s independence in 1947.

At present, the city, simultaneously noble and squalid, is unhurriedly sloughing off its old skin under a communist-led government. However, the blend of past and present, coexistence of old and new, sharing of antiquity with modernity, is a strength of the city, home to more than 15 million people.

The destination attracts a constant flow of visitors throughout the year, though the best time to make a trip is between October and March, when the weather is most pleasant.

Some visitors are drawn by the legacies of the Raj, others by the exuberant Bengali art and culture.

Many use the city as a stopover to visit treasure troves of eastern India — Darjeeling, Bodh Gaya or ancient temples of Orissa. Whatever it may be, the city lives with a reputation of not disappointing anyone.

Admirers of the Raj, which harks back to colonial times, can meander in the Esplanade, a bustling quarter surrounded by regal architecture; stroll along the riverside Strand; glimpse British-made red edifices such as the expansive Writers Building, now the head quarters of the West Bengal government; and relish art and history inside Victoria Memorial, a grandiose structure that looks like the Taj Mahal.

There is also the option of dropping by one of several grand old gentlemen’s clubs for a gin and tonic, backing horses at the race track or playing a soothing round of golf at Royal Calcutta Golf Club, India’s equivalent of Scotland’s St Andrews.

The culturally-minded would be lured by the glories of the local Bengali culture.

Kolkata is considered as the nation’s intellectual capital, and the ancestral home of Asia’s first Nobel Laureate, poet and novelist Rabindranath Tagore, at Jorasako in the city’s north is nothing short of Shakespeare’s home in Stratfordupon-Avon in terms of reverence.

When in the locale, one can also go through several crumbling mega mansions that flank the narrow alleyways.

A fascinating sight, they show the traces of the enormous wealth entrepreneurial Kolkatans made during the Raj heyday.

The one that still remains intact and open to visitors is the 175-year old Marble Palace, which provides a wonderful insight into the glorious Bengali households of yore.

The city’s artistic soul comes alive after sun down, when several venues like Rabindra Sadan, Academy Of Fine Arts, Nandan, Kala Mandir and Star Theatre showcase Bengali dance, music, cinema and theatre. Watching a Bengali play is an intriguing experience. You may not understand the language, but the stage craft, acting and body language will demonstrate its artistic powers.

A paradise for shopaholics, Kolkata can fill your suitcases with a variety of goods from designer label items to things exclusive to the city, such as cotton saris, intricately-designed gold jewellery, terracotta handicrafts and packets of Darjeeling tea.

There are many gleaming malls, arcades and boutique shops, but for visitors, the shopping chapter is incomplete without a visit to the legendary New Market, another colonial showstopper established in 1875 as an elite shopping complex exclusively for the English. If you cannot find what you are looking for here, they say, then it is yet to be created.

Though much of its grandeur has been lost, its appeal remains irresistible.

Just walk through the interconnecting corridors and browse the warren of shops selling almost everything: Clothes, handicraft, jewellery, home ware, pottery, cosmetics, electronics, luggage, spices, fruits, vegetables, fish, meat — you name it.

It’s an intriguing experience, as is tasting beguiling varieties of cakes and spicy meat-filled puff pastries from an old Jewish bakery called Nahoums.

While extreme richness and utter poverty side-by-side remains in-your face in Kolkata, it’s the daily festival of human existence that makes the city unique in character.

By watching something buoyant being ceaselessly played before your eyes, on the humming streets, at wayside food courts, inside teeming bazaars, around crowded temples and outside mosques, you will realise why the other name of Kolkata is City Of Joy.

Inconvenience of Otherness

During difficult economic times, minorities are more vulnerable. france is expelling Gypsies, sending them back to Romania and Bulgaria. Roma in a camp in la Courneuve, outside Paris.

Paris

The scapegoat — that indestructible anti-hero whose resilience defies time, trends and geography — haunts the political landscape today all over the globe as it has many times before. Governments, even democratically elected ones, that run out of momentum and imagination, tend to blame their failures on those whose origin, skin color, religion or lifestyle seem to endanger national cohesion.

From Paris to Tokyo by way of Arizona, otherness is extolled while the Other is regarded with distrust. Witness the expulsions of Roma to Romania or Bulgaria, the distressing serial offered this summer by France, the land of liberté, égalité and fraternité.

In the collective unconscious, the Roma embody the perfect pariah.

Even when sedentary, they remain wanderers with no land and no borders, doomed to drag myths and fantasies along in their wake.

As soon as a threesome of darkhaired, swarthy little girls clad in flowery dresses slips into a Paris subway to beg or rasp out an age old lament, the tension mounts in the car. I know: I feel the same tension sometimes. Women clutch their purses while men thrust their wallets and cellphones deeper into their pockets.

Back in the village where I grew up, Gypsies, who wore themselves out in largely fruitless attempts to sell mops door to door, aroused a mixture of fear and hostility. We dreaded the torrent of obscure prophecies their women — modern avatars of the witches of long ago — showered on those who turned them away too roughly.

Could it be that the France of President Nicolas Sarkozy, son of a Hungarian immigrant, is edging imperceptibly toward state racism?

If the international press is anything to go by, not to mention the condemnations from leftists, organized activists, prominent intellectuals and church leaders, the question is valid.

The use of the term “deportationand the historical references, tend to revive the specter of the Holocaust orchestrated by Nazi Germany in the 1940s. It is an extreme, if inept, analogy that is nurtured by an indelible historical trauma.

For if Jews were the prime target of Hitler’s extermination policy, it also decimated Europe’s Gypsy communities.

It is absurd to ascribe fascistic intentions to the French executive, but it would be equally so to deny the impact of the populist — and therefore vote-attracting — drive illustrated by the government claimed clamp down, amply inspired by the model implemented in Italy by Silvio Berlusconi and his allies.

In substance, there is nothing really new. Every year between 7,800 and 10,000 Roma are escorted — to use the accepted euphemism — to the French border, and many of them promptly return. The form, however, has changed: whereas Paris used to sneak the Roma out, the evictions are now covered by the media, if not staged for their benefit.

To put it plainly, it is no longer a matter of carrying out shameful expulsions but of flattering the “true” France, the one that slaves away and suffers and is out of work, in contrast to parasites who have suddenly cropped up from elsewhere and outsiders who take advantage of the system.

Why them? Why now?

In the midst of a rotten summer ruined by the economic slump, on the eve of a fall fraught with turbulent social issues, Mr. Sarkozy attempted to create a security diversion. He also hopes to win back the fringe voters who find the simplistic slogans of an openly xenophobic far right appealing and to trap the socialist opposition, torn between its humanistic catechism and the need for firmness.

It would be unworldly to ignore the fact that gang leaders run the begging market like a criminal syndicate and confiscate most of the loot from minors duly trained in the techniques of picking pockets.

But the fact remains that most of the ten to twelve million Roma in the European Union — scarcely over 15,000 of whom are in France — wish only to find a decent site for their trailers, a job and a school for their children.

From Paris to Bucharest you hear the same refrain: “Those people don’t want to fit in.”

But what do we know?

What have we done to help them do so?

Disinclined to lend support to second-rate citizens, the Romanian authorities have invested only a tiny portion of the credits allocated for the purpose by the European Union.

Everyone agrees: the Roma issue can only be dealt with on a European scale with all 27 member countries working closely with the countries of origin. And the process should get under way as soon as possible: the anti-heroes too are tired.

In Japan, Anti-Foreign Protests Grow Louder

By MARTIN FACKLER

KYOTO, Japan — The group of about a dozen Japanese men gathered in front of the school gate, using bull horns to call the students cockroaches and Korean spies.

The December episode was the first in a series of demonstrations at the Kyoto No. 1 Korean Elementary

School that shocked conflict averse Japan, where even political protesters on the radical fringes are expected to avoid embroiling regular citizens, much less children.

Responding to public outrage, the police arrested four of the protesters last month.

More significantly, the protests signaled the emergence here of a new type of ultranationalist group, openly anti-foreign in their message, and unafraid to win attention by holding unruly street demonstrations.

Local news media have dubbed these groups the Net far right, because they are loosely organized via the Internet, and gather together only for demonstrations.

At other times, they are a virtual community that maintains its own Web sites.

Stalker Ads Unsettle Online Shoppers

By MIGUEL HELFT and TANZINA VEGA

Julie Matlin liked the shoes she saw on Zappos.com. She wasn’t ready to buy them, but the shoes started to follow her.

“For days or weeks, every site I went to seemed to be showing me ads for those shoes,” said Ms. Matlin, a mother of two from Montreal. “It is a pretty clever marketing tool. But it’s a little creepy, especially if you don’t know what’s going on.”

Online shoppers have grown accustomed to being tracked by digital advertisements for products that interest them.

While the technique, called personalized retargeting, is not new, it is more pervasive with companies like Google and Microsoft having entered the field. And it has reached a precision that is leaving consumers with the feeling they are being watched as they roam online stores.

In the digital advertising business, this form of marketing is hailed as a breakthrough, showing consumers the right ad at the right time. “The overwhelming response has been positive,” said Aaron Magness, senior director for brand marketing at Zappos, a unit of Amazon.com.

But with more consumers queasy about intrusions into their privacy, the technique is bringing threats of industry regulation.

“Retargeting has helped turn on a light bulb for consumers,” said Jeff Chester, a privacy advocate and executive director of the Washington-based Center for Digital Democracy.

“It illustrates that there is a commercial surveillance system in place online that is sweeping in scope, and raises privacy and civil liberties issues.”

But retargeting relies on a form of online tracking that has been around for years and is not particularly intrusive. Programs use small text files called cookies that are exchanged when a Web browser visits a site. Cookies are used by virtually all commercial Web sites for various purposes, including advertising, keeping users signed in and customizing content.

In remarketing, when a person visits an e-commerce site and looks at a product, a cookie is placed into that person’s browser, linking it with the product. When that person, or someone using the same computer, visits another site, the advertising system creates an ad for that same product.

Mr. Magness, of Zappos, said that consumers may be unnerved because they may feel that they are being tracked as they browse the Web. To reassure consumers, Zappos, which is using the ads, displays a message inside the banner ads that reads “Why am I seeing these ads?”

When users click on it, they are taken to the Web site of Criteo, the advertising technology company behind the Zappos ads, where the ads are explained.

But some advertising and media experts said that explaining the technology behind the ads might not allay the fears of many consumers who worry about being tracked or who simply fear that someone they share a computer with will see what items they have browsed.

“When you begin to give people a sense of how this is happening, they really don’t like it,” said Joseph Turow, a professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, who has conducted consumer surveys about online advertising.

While start-ups like Criteo and TellApart are among the most active remarketers, the technique has also been embraced by online advertising giants. Google began testing this technique in 2009, calling it remarketing to connote the idea of customized messages like special offers or discounts being sent to users.

For Google, remarketing is a more specific form of behavioral targeting, the practice under which a person who has visited NBA.com, for instance, may be tagged as a basketball fan and later shown ads for related merchandise.

Behavioral targeting has been debated in Washington, and lawmakers are considering various proposals to regulate it.

When Advertising Age, the advertising industry publication, tackled the subject of remarketing recently, Michael Learmonth described being stalked by a pair of pants he had considered buying on Zappos.

“As tracking gets more and more crass and obvious, consumers will rightfully become more concerned about it,” he wrote. “If the industry is truly worried about a federally mandated ‘do not track’ list akin to ‘do not call’ for the Internet, they’re not really showing it.”

Even some advertising executives have reservations about highly personalized remarketing.

“I don’t think that exposing all this detailed information you have about the customer is necessary,” said Alan Pearlstein, chief executive of Cross Pixel Media, a digital marketing agency.

He supports more subtle ads that, for instance, could offer consumers a discount coupon if they return to an online store.

“What is the benefit of freaking customers out?”

Bad as it was to be stalked by shoes, Ms. Matlin said that she felt even worse when she was hounded recently by ads for a dieting service she had used online.

“They are still following me around, and it makes me feel fat,” she said.

Companies push ads that some shoppers find creepy.

Newly Thriving Indonesia Attracts Foreign Funds

By AUBREY BELFORD

JAKARTA, Indonesia — After years of being known for corruption and instability, Indonesia is emerging from the global financial crisis with a new reputation — economic golden child.

Its economy, the largest in Southeast Asia, grew at an annual rate of 6.2 percent in the second quarter of this year. In 2009, gross domestic product expanded 4.5 percent.

The stock market hit a record high in late July and has been among the best-performing equities markets in Asia. The currency, the rupiah, has appreciated nearly 5 percent this year against the dollar, among the strongest showings in Asia.

“Foreign investors have been flowing to Indonesia from maybe around mid-2009,” said Lanang Trihardian, an analyst at Syailendra Capital, a fund management firm in Jakarta.

That investment, he said, “is mostly going to capital markets, to bonds, to stocks.’’

Foreign investment was held in check for years after the 1997 economic crisis in Asia. But in the second quarter of this year, the country had 33.3 trillion rupiah, or $3.7 billion, in foreign direct investment, a 51 percent rise from a year earlier, according to the government.

The largest share comes from within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Japan and South Korea, as well as European countries, make up much of the rest.

Some here are saying that the Muslim-majority democracy, one of the world’s most populous countries, could soon merit the kind of attention that investors now lavish on China and India.

More than a decade after the overthrow of the Suharto regime in 1998, the country has stabilized.

Its natural resources, like palm oil, copper and timberChina., are in great demand in

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has reduced debt and achieved some success fighting graft, and power has devolved to local governments.

The country’s relatively young population of 240 million and government stimulus policies have kept consumption humming.

In Jakarta, worsening traffic and a proliferation of megamalls are seen as signs of the growing strength of the middle class.

Despite the progress, about 15 percent of the population lives below the country’s official poverty line of around $1 a day. Relatively sluggish growth in labor-intensive industries has meant slow progress in curbing unemployment, which is over 7 percent.

The government’s Investment Coordinating Board hopes to attract $30 billion to $40 billion in annual foreign investment by 2015, said Gita Wirjawan, head of the agency.

In an economy worth $650 billion a yearvery important for establishing Indonesia as a serious investment destination, Mr. Wirjawan said. The government recently eased investment rules and passed rules requiring foreign investors to keep their money in the country longer., that is not much. But it is “optically”

The government announced in August that China’s sovereign fund was hoping to invest $25 billion in infrastructure projects in Indonesia.

Posco, the South Korean steel giant, has signed a $6 billion deal to build a plant in Indonesia.

“We’re seeing an increasing relocation of factories by the Taiwanese, the Koreans and Japanese from Vietnam and China,” he said.

The Indonesian Footwear Association has said that major brands including Asics, Mizuno and New Balance shifted some production to Indonesia this year because of rising costs elsewhere.

Many feel that Indonesia’s time has come again.

“In Asia there is a feeling that after you invest in China and after you invest in India, where are you going to invest?” said Fauzi Ichsan, senior economist for Standard Chartered in Indonesia.

“It’ll have to be Indonesia. It’s a natural destination.”

Why must provide FREE transport to those who want to go and enjoy the outings in RWS? 

Previously, there isnt any transport to  places of interests eg. Zoo, jurong bird park etc......

To encourage more  ppl to go these places of interests, the only solutions is :   Reduce the entrance fee . 



Raptor22      ( Date: 11-Sep-2010 11:46) Posted:



I doubt if the IR or casino will be severely affected. Universal Studios will still be the attraction for youngsters although they may have to cough up a bit more to donate to our public transport companies for their enjoyment.

It's the other attractions at Sentosa that will feel the loss without this free transport, as it was in the past.

Gamblers have not been deterred by FREE stuff. Before the IRs came to existence, ppl still make their way to the harbour for their cruises and to Batam, right?

So this whole issues of scrapping the free transport affects MANY others than just those few uncles and aunties. It's like throwing away the whole basket for transporting eggs just because there was a rotten or cracked egg in it. They could have just alight the passengers at the IR, away from the casino.

So the question now the authorities have to decide is if it is alright for the passengers to alight/board just before the entrance/exit of the IRs. Note: Resort is not just casino, there are MANY others who want to enjoy the other attractions.

 

Happy belated Hari Raya. :)
