x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Well, aa govt that never fails,  perhaps a little reliance ain' t too much, especially in hard times?  Anyway, I shan' t continue with this cos it cld put me beyond  OB markers. I will only say that the way courses are run, there' s probably more wastage than we think.  Also, I think Jazzie has spoken out very hard ... but I share some of her views.  Cheers.  risktaker      ( Date: 12-Feb-2016 14:16) Posted: Thats why gov is offering credits for people to take up course.... teach people how to fish instead of giving fish to the people.... if people rely on gov too much... we will end up like greece...

John works in a bank earn 5k a month. Sandy works in service sector industry earn around 6k. Hanson works in shipping industry earns around 4k Queenie works in a manufacturing earns around 3k. So in 2014.... oil is trading around 90ish.... everyone is happy.... came late 2014 oil crash... everyone still ok and think that oil will rebound in 2015....mid 2015 jim was retrench as oil sector is in contraction... thus resulted a reduction in spending and expansion in oil and gas sector... effect was soon felt. Late in 2015 Queenie was retrench as demand for goods remain mute.....inventory are not sold and shortly after that Hanson was retrench too as shipping around the world in deep contraction... as less goods flow from east to west... so far Queenie Hanson Jim was retrenched...Sandy who works in service sector industry felt the pain....as there was a less demand. Sandy took a pay cut.. John who works in the bank are force to leave as the bank reduce overhead. So what do u think will happen eventually... when we r reducing spending and people losing jobs.... its a vicous cycle... its ripple effect will soon felt by many in months to come.... Also to worsen the case we havent even take into consideration that euro banks are in deep trouble....that could trigger a massive crisis.... The East is much better than the West.... There are big sydnicate that tried to take down the RMB and it is very obvious who is doing that... look at HK incident during chinese new year..... The world is in power transition mode.... as power flow from west to the east.... everytime this happen the world will be unstable... as the other side try to hold on to their power.... I have confident with our gov... pretty sure we r in good hands... lets hope for world peace in 2016 and 2017..... Also STI 2500 has show a pretty strong support.... but if crisis deepen... next will be 2000....
