US curbing banks from high risk tradings

The Dodd Frank Act aka Volcker's Rule proposed by Paul Volcker has finally been passed after 3 long years of struggle in Congress. And it would take another year for it to be in effect. Thanks to all the congressmen that were bribed into opposing this necessary bill to stop the banks from taking high risk positions in proprietary trading for their own benefits and often against their clients.
 
The need and importance of this piece of regulation are real and urgent. They should be put in place 3 years ago but unfortunately the banks could get away by bribing the congressmen to oppose it. This is the treachery of the bankers and the banking system. The law makers and people like Paul Volcker knew what they were doing and knew that it was wrong for them to carry on and risking the collapse of the financial system if not put to a stop. But they were helpless given the power of what money could do to make the congressmen vote the other way.
 
It is of paramount importance that the same fraudulent game should not be allowed here. We don’t have corrupt congressmen to bribe to stop the criminal practices of bankers indulging in the same activities. We can stop the crime immediately and don’t have to wait for the Americans to enact this law in 2015. If we do not have the guts and confidence to do what is necessary for the good of our banking and finance industry, it doesn’t cost much to invite Paul Volcker here to use his weight to sit on the problems and squeeze them out from our system.
 
We can do it ahead of the Americans. We need the political will and wisdom to do the right thing. Paul Volcker may have a whole congress in his way. He would not have to face one here and could do the right thing for our banking and finance industry. Not asking him here is a dereliction of duty and responsibility.
 
Would our govt, Ministry of Finance or MAS do the right thing? The Dodd Frank act is the right way to go before it is too late. Would the American system last till July 2015? Could we take the leap and save ourselves first while the Americans continue to do themselves in?
