Air India for sale – Great bargain

No one can resist a good bargain. And Air India is looking so attractive to the stupid that are always looking for a good bargain. And the stupid must be furiously trying to put up a case to acquire this great bargain. Maybe Air India has already knocked on their doors and they are all salivating.
 

Karamjit Kaur, an aviation correspondent has cautioned against this acquisition by the stupid. Not only that Air India has a whopping debt of $10.8 billion, the restructuring that would inevitably led to retrenchment or sacking of staff would be a nightmare given the labour union climate in India. She also gave several other reasons not to touch this great bargain but these are exactly the scoring points for the stupid to launch a buyout of Air India. The more treacherous a situation, the more gungho will be the stupid. Where angels fear to tread, the stupid would be there. That is how they lost so much money. Oops, I mean they made so much money.
 

The stupid would definitely put up a case that they could add value with their expertise to revive this ailing airline that the Indian govt even regards as a hopeless case . Anything the Indians are afraid off, it is a grave signal to stay clear. But to be sure, the stupid would be plunging head in for such a deal. Great danger means great opportunities for the stupid. They would always think that they could do a miracle. No risk no gain. After all it is OPM. If successful, big bonuses and big credit. If fail, so what, OPM mah.
 

Let’s all keep an eye on the stupid and see how desperate they are, or how eager they are to want to jump into this piece of shit. They may even pay a premium for it to prove that it was a golden opportunity not to be missed, to outbid everyone to make sure that they get this piece of shit, a great long term strategy to expand into India, a country of great potential for growth, the next biggest market in Asia. I am also convinced after writing this piece of shit.

Are you writing about Air India, GE 2015 or GE 2020?

Who in Singapore can afford to buy Air India?
Who in Singapore can afford to keep voting the same way again and again?

I believe no one will buy this piece of shit. You are right, the labor law is crazy and to sack some staff will be very difficult. To Air India staff, getting a job in the company is like having an iron rice bowl. You will get pay even if you do not work. The other scary part is the Indian politics. To get things done is like climbing Mount Everest. It is not about months but year. But as you have said, stupidity has no cure. Some dumb idiots will fall into this shit hole eventually.

Sinkies got a mentality that great sale or discount means good buy & long q mah, look at the new release of iPhones all slept overnight to q to grab that gadget, so same same its garmen no different they will dive in & make use of ur seepeefxx monies to invest in that sale & who knows when the investments flop they will just increase the minimum sum & ensure that the payment extend to 100years or more, that wat Stupidity has no cure in Daftland.

One real experience of an indian 45-year-old Vinod Moorjani ceo said enough of dealing with indian. He called up help line to enquire his flight at mumbai, "bom del flight" mumbai to dehli. He was arrested for saying "bomb".

This deal is good if sia takes it up. How can sia be not taking up "good" deal? Its like saying the wrong word. Just say smart chaps cut good deals and send up your congratulations. Share price might drop and better think twice to pay $10k for a lot if the deal is cut.

First is the problem not mentioned in the shit time: indians must maintain EFFECTIVE control of India airline. Remember one poo add pee joined the board of a 3rd line uni board and got "poked". He got no effective control, but the indian govt.

Second is 49% stake is for Private airlines running on govt approval routes, was not said about air india same. Look at the catch lah.

Third is india govt will take up NON core liabilities only. Simi si non core liabilities and how much? The key point is how much. If taking away S$10 billions, then it is substantial but the controlling jobs are not on foreigners. Liabilities can build up again.

How to deal with the employees that are causing the liabilities for the airlines? There are good or bad. They are all indians speaking the languages no sinkies can understand except the indians. (bomb is english, btw).

Sinkies is accumulating indians foreign talents. If this is the key point, then this is a good deal. The air india employees can be transferred to sia hq and sats. This can be valuable assets as indian air experts will contribute greatly to poo add pee as candidates for ge, to get 80% as many IB predicted in coming ge.

On conclusion, this is the great deal to seal based on foreign talents are badly needed on sinkieland which is in great shortage especially those from mumbai university which is reputable in this world according to sinkie parliament said.

Go for the deal sia. Do not be afraid of critics. Be rational. Most importantly: it s a "Long Term investment".

'First is the problem not mentioned in the shit time: indians must maintain EFFECTIVE control of India airline. Remember one poo add pee joined the board of a 3rd line uni board and got "poked". He got no effective control, but the indian govt.'

Let me add on this. Paying billions to buy companies and established companies in other countries and allowing other nationalities to be fully in charge is acceptable as the stupid will believe everyone is as dumb and stupid as them. so these foreign dumb and stupid would work stupidly to make profits for the stupid here. They would not know how to cheat the stupid because they are just as stupid.

The caveat is that the foreigners are not stupid and when given a free hand, very likely their own pockets come first without the stupid even knowing what is happening until it is too late.

Friend u buy Indian Air, Unfriend when u don't take the deal, or roti prata.

*** Fake News ***

Many years ago.
When NOL bought APL.
The NOL management then proceeded to discard the NOL system & procedures.
And migrated everything over to the APL system & procedures.

True or not?

So if "Singapore" ( but specifically who in Singapore? ) buys Air India.
Do you think SIA will have to discard their SIA system.
And migrate everything over to the Air India system?

c. Give up our university places to Alien students?

e. Migrate to seek jobs in the Aliens' 3rd world countries?

Temasek, GIC to bail out Air India ?

Anonymous said...

On 1 July 2015, the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Minimum Sum requirement rose from $155,000 to $161,000.

That latest hike (to $161,000) in the Minimum Sum was the "final installment", PM Lee said in August 2014, in a long list of increases since 2003 when the Minimum Sum was set at $80,000.

Lee became PM in 2004.

CPF is akin to Taiwan. Sinkie thot its their money, similar to china leaders thot taiwan is theirs, when US promised something like one china principal. Sinkie elites some said cpf is people s money, one said openly it is not all.
CPF custodians come out blocking of withdraws on citizens with minimum sums, while allowing PR 100% withdrawal. Who actually has real title of the money? Citizens or PR?
The answer is here: similar to who own taiwan? China said it has rights, but US showed them china has no right over taiwan sovereignty. US laws makers passed laws to allow US fleets to harbor at Taiwan. The laws makers had passed laws to allow US all level officials to visit taiwan and receive officials from taiwan. This means commanders from the fleets can go up to taiwan island to visit and stay there. Trump can also go to taiwan, if senate pass the laws and Trump sign the act.

The picture is double clear. Cpf is your money if u vote against the elites to tell them. Its similar to taiwan is belonged to who? if the who is who dare to challenge US. Both voters and the so called great economy dare not do do things to claim their rights. The consequences are the same thing: talk only as the real custodians of money or island are doing things on their own wills. Losers deserve what they have gotten. Cpf is state money and taiwan is an independent country without a name.

If outright daylight Corruption can be fixed by "laws" passed in the absolute majority of whip-controlled MPs, what else cannot be fixed?

If the Parliament can be used as a personal platform to whitewash oneself, which organ of government cannot be abused or misused?

If the Legal Identity of a person's Indian Race as indicated in her Identity Card and Birth Certificate can be changed by a specially selected committee to that of a Malay, in order for her to easily walk-over and become the President, what legal identity and status cannot be easily manipulated?

If one's father's and mother's last will, backed by laws of the land, tradition, history, culture, society's norms, ethics and morals, can be overridden by a Ministerial Committee, who else' last will cannot be easily trampled upon?

If the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, can be so easily amended by a Law Minister or a group of MPs, what is the use of pledging to protect the Constitution with my life?

If the Judiciary, Legislative and Executive are all under the Power, the Command and Control, the Whims and Fancies, at the pleasure of ONE MAN, what for continues to refer to Parliamentary Democracy based on Westminster's Model?

The picture is so damn very clear: It is an Absolute Monarchy in place and at work!

Excerpts From The States Times Review:

Law Minister K Shanmugam to legalise corporate corruptions after Keppel
January 15, 2018

Following the high profile bribery of state-owned company Keppel costing Singapore taxes US$422 million, Law Minister K Shanmugam yesterday (Jan 15) said he will legalise corporate corruptions for big companies by allowing them to be granted amnesty if they “meet certain requirements”.

Called the Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPA), the new law will operate on the basis that companies do no wrong so long as they “strengthen internal controls” when caught. This allows any corporation to get away with corruptions and prosecute only the individual employees.

Law Minister K Shanmugam said that he already introduced the proposal back in July 2017 as part of his 50 proposed amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code and Evidence Act. The Minister claimed that the 50 proposals were enacted following public feedback and consultation, but most Singaporeans are unaware of the proposed changes.

Addressing Opposition NCMP Dennis Tan’s question, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan wrote in a reply on Monday (Jan 8):

“Investigations are still ongoing. After investigations are completed, the matter will be referred to the Attorney-General’s Chambers for their assessment. More information will be provided at the appropriate juncture.”

The real reason behind the delay is believed to be the involvement of the offending contractor, OKP Holdings. The directors of the company have powerful network links with the ruling party PAP, and served as PAP grassroots leaders. Interim investigations found a serious management breach from conflict of interests, revealing that both the designer of the viaduct and it’s project supervisor are the same company, OKP Holdings. The awarding government department Land Transport Authority feigned ignorance and did not make a response on the management structure.

To worsen matters, it was also found by members of the public that OKP Holdings was previously banned for safety breaches in other projects prior to the fatal incident.

But one must first be leader of a party which can win elections, and win say more than 90% seats, before one can use Parliament as a personal platform to whitewash oneself mah.

If I were the one and since I have the power, I would also if need be, use Parliament as a personal platform to whitewash myself too.

It's only human, when one has power and confident to remain in power, given that majority voters will not vote for an opposition which is not ready to assume power.

The fate of Singapore will change drastically once the Kra Canal is completed. This will take about 15 to 18 years. If the progress meets no major obstacles, it may take less than 15 years.

Other projects in Malaysia, such as the new ports to be built on the East Coast of West Malaysia, the upgrading of the existing ports on the Western Coast, and the construction of the two East-West Highways linking the ports, will also seriously affect the economy of Singapore in time to come.

The building of a deep-water port in Batam or Bintan Island will cut off some of the shipping and cargo from Singapore as well.

The Indonesian and Malaysian long-term strategic interests of taking back the control of their air spaces presently being controlled by Singapore will soon materialized. Once that happens, Singapore will find it extremely difficult to operate freely within its own limited air space. What will become of Changi Airport? What will happen to the RSAF?
