Even Bong Bong Marcos knows getting his hands on the ill-gotten wealth of his father depends on which side of the bread is buttered on to be consumed. He is held hostage by the USA, just like his corrupt father.
Now, as the Chair of ASEAN, Marcos Jr is probably doing much more to convince the USA he is doing his very best to bring ASEAN closer to the USA side. Conspiracy theory maybe, but I always find them honestly believable.
If what is happening in Gaza does not convince the Muslims in the Middle East, I do not know what to say. Humans have brains and if they do not use it, they deserve to be extinguished. No one can help them, other than giving them good advice which should not be falling on deaf ears.

Look at those politicians who had stayed/studied in the US, half of their ball will be in the hand of the US. That why they must obey what the bully tell them to do. Next year, Sinkieland will be the ASEAN chair, expect Laing po po to poke the dragon up north. So sinkies better don't be surprised if relation with the dragon nose dive.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is Singapore's economy is very hot and shouts of ;huat ah' very loud. Year-end bonus is coming, so what to expect.
ReplyDeleteWah lan, jiat buay leow. Big big bonus akan datang. Huat ah, huat ah!
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, the Indians wrote down Air India profit to losses, to the tune of losing $2b and expecting to take from the Singapore ATM. And Singapore ATM lan lan just pay, and did not know what hits them. Air India can expect to report losses for the next 10 years in the billions to collect more from the Singapore ATM. Alternatively, sell out to TATA or another Indian connected enterprise for a song. Then Air India can report huge profits again and laugh all the way to the bank.
It is so easy to scam daft Sinkies.
Using Indian accounting, SIA keeps filling the Air India black hole. Air India can wait long long to make profit.
DeleteSIA also held by the balls by India via Air India.
DeleteI think this may be the right time to announce bonuses. After the announcement, normally comes bad news lah. Oh yes, National Day Rally is coming.
DeleteActually Air India is making profit. Air India is a virtual monopoly in India and benefiting from cheap Russian oil.
ReplyDeleteThe losses were cooked up to rape some silly shareholders.
That is why it is called 'Indian Accounting'.
DeleteWhile the Arabs are held by the balls by the USA, Japan is now held by the 'boobs' by the USA. The yen is sliding once again despite the help rendered by the USA buying Yen. Suffice to say, such an action by the USA is more about helping the USA itself than Japan in actuality. Do not be mistaken by the USA move as the colonizer helping the colonized.
ReplyDeleteJapan could sell off its massive treasury holdings of US$1.2 trillion to buy the Yen but cannot do so without USA permission. And the USA will not allow that to jeopardize its economy. The USA is still also highly dependent on the Japanese Yen carry trade, which if Japan were to repatriate all the money back to Japan will be highly detrimental to the USA economy.
Japan is between a rock and a hard place. Saving the Yen by increasing interest rate will bring more misery to ordinary Japanese citizens, who are already hard pressed to cope with the high cost of living with wages practically stagnant over the last three decades. Letting the Yen slide to unprecedented territory means having to pay more for oil and other imported commodities. Both options are difficult choices to make.
There is one clever way not to be raped by India when investing in India. Give the money to the Indians to do what they want, to report what they want and pretend the money and investment are still yours.
ReplyDeleteYou can be sure the Indians will not rape you, because the money already in the Indian pockets. You own the money in name only and never gonna see it back.
