MD said he did not need remisiers to trade

Waleed A Hanafi, a MD of Aleviatec, wrote to Business Times that he needed to contribute a rebuttal to an article in Hock Lock Siew praying that DBS would be third time lucky to get it right in its disruptive model in share trading. He claimed that he did not need the services of a remisier to trade as he could do it himself simply and happily.
 

I also cannot tahan him and must also contribute my rebuttal to his rebuttal. If only every employee has a title like MD of a company or equivalent, he can trade for all he wants in his office, using office time and computers and watching the share movement without a care. No one would be there to tell the MD that he cannot use office time to monitor and trade in shares. I am not sure how he would view his employees doing the same during office hours. Would he be giving them the marching order out of his office?
 

Incidentally, how many employees are so fortunate to have a boss, a MD that would not mind if they switch on their computers to monitor and trade shares in the office, during office hours? Or how many employees would have to look over their shoulders if they want to take a peep at the share market or make a trade, or be sneaking around to a dark corner, or to do it in the toilet, not to be seen?
 

There is a place for online trading without the need for the service of a remisier. There is also a place for the service of remisiers for traders that are in a different position. My big traders would not have the time to waste to switch on a computer just to make a trade or the time to monitor the market. And some of them are busy travelling and doing business all over the world. They find the services of a remisier very useful and convenient to their lifestyle and busy schedule.
 

Oh, for the retirees or those in the jobless statistics and have all the time in the world staying at home and sitting in front of their computers, I fully agree that online trading is the most appropriate past time for them. Save a lot of commission and can trade at their own sweet time. For those who did not have the pleasure of staying at home or holding the position of MDs or CEOs, let me be very diplomatic, they would know best whether they need or do not need a remisier that is only a phone call away, to check on their stocks and to execute a trade, without the bosses breathing down their necks, and not having to sneak around to find a safe place to switch on their mobile or PC to peep at the share market.
 

Not everyone is a MD for sure, who could do as he pleases in his own office, not only trading stocks, even practicing putting or having a really good time as and when he likes it. It is the privilege of the position.
 

Oh, I have a personal question to this Waleed. Is this Aleviatec your own company or your father’s company? I would not be wrong to say that you are not an employed MD. If it is, you would not be bragging in public about trading shares during office hours. Your Chairman and board of directors and shareholders would be speaking to you in the next board meeting or AGM.
 

My friendly advice to those that do not hold the title of a MD not to do what a MD do in the office, like trading stocks. In this case, do not follow the leader if you want your job.
 

As for those who could not trade online during office hours, you would be like calling a Call Centre to make a trade. And the party on the line, you would not know who or whether it is a robot or human bean, would be asking you about the name of your mother or girlfriend to authenticate that you are who you are before taking your order. They would not entertain you with stock prices or stock news like a remisier.
 

By the way, how many people would be comfortable placing a $50k or $100k order to a stranger like ordering a pizza on the phone? And would you be comfortable and confident that the trade is done even after the stranger told you so? That would be the new model of trading by phone, calling a Call Centre to trade unlike calling someone you know and trusted on the phone to execute a trade.

A Singaporean genius in our midst

Brochez was just an unfortunate scapegoat among the millions that have come to our shore to test their intelligence against the daft Singaporeans and was caught. With every Brochez there are hundreds of thousands out there that are still happily employed by the daft to work here and be paid handsomely to do jobs they are not qualified to do. But never mind, in Singapore’s new culture encouraged by the top leaders, no need qualifications, can do the job would be good enough to be employed. Fakes, fake certificates, well, not really an issue as long as you are clever enough to fake it real good. Even if you are caught, they would find excuses to excuse you for cheating.
 

Singapore knows that this is the Achilles Heel but is willing to live with it. If not they would have taken serious measures to stop the big gap, like the gap between two outstretched legs. This is the new normal in Singapore, all foreigners that claimed themselves to be talented and can cheat, and lie and fake would be welcomed with open arms with good jobs to replace the daft Singaporeans aka PMETs. Cheating with fake certificates and credentials are par on course for foreigners here.
 

The geniuses, aka the cheats and fakes, used to be foreigners. Today we have a Singaporean, yes a Singaporean that had got away with engineering jobs in 38 firms with forged engineering certificates when his highest standard passed is PSLE. If this is not a genius, what else is? And think of all the daft armed with degrees from world best universities could be conned by a PSLE graduate cum laude, is something that Singapore can crow about and be proud of. Obviously this Singaporean genius passed with flying colours during the numerous interviews with our highly qualified engineers, proving that he was indeed a civil engineer with wide experience for the jobs. Oh, I nearly forget, he claimed to have a certificate for First Class Civil Engineering from NUS! I think it is this certificate, first class and from NUS that must have really impressed the interviewers.
 

Now that he is caught and charged, all he got was 2 years 11 months jail. Maybe the heavy jail sentence was because he is a Singaporean. What message would the 2 years 11 months be sending out? This must be most encouraging news for the fakes and cheats of the world to come here to try their luck to outwit the daft Singaporeans. Cheating, faking certificates or forging certificates are not serious crimes. And the trade off for this little risk are free food and lodging and free medical care in the biggest landed property in Changi instead of good jobs that could pay $9,000 pm. This is what this genius Chin Ming Lik was paid by some of the 38 companies he worked in.
 

This guy is so brilliant, must respect him for impressing the daft and highly qualified graduates and employers. His name must be engraved in the Hall of Fame of the Cheats, Fakes and Liars. Going forward he should apply for engineering jobs but declared that he has no qualification but can do the job of civil engineers. And with his record of working in 38 companies, that would be enough proof that without an engineering degree he is just as good as any engineer. Get it?

Singaporean core

Strong core of Singaporean academics needed to ask ‘critical questions’: NMP
 

“Singaporeans must be in charge of asking the critical questions about who we are, what the problems in society are, and how to solve them. We have always said that no one owes us a living. But no one owes us an answer either, about the key questions of our society and economy," said Associate Professor Walter Theseira. Today paper
 

What did Walter Theseira mean by this? Singaporeans must be in charge and asking critical questions about who we are, what the problems in our society and how to solve them?
 

Look around you will know that many foreigners are in charge in the govt and in govt linked companies. And when they asked critical questions or tried to solve our problems would they be thinking about the interest of Singaporeans or about their comrades in their homeland, especially for the new citizens? How many of these foreigners turned new citizens are using the power given to them to hire more and more of their former countrymen to replace Singaporeans? Are they solving Singapore’s problems or the problems of their former countries?
 

What about asking critical questions? Look at the editorial pages, the supposedly important pages that dealt with serious issues, domestic and foreign news, and who were the writers, Singaporeans or foreigners with their biased and mischievous agenda and thoughts that may be actually undermining the interests of Singapore and Singaporeans. Yes, they are foreign agents trying to influence our minds and policies and paid knowingly or unknowingly by Singapore to influence Singaporeans and even govt policies.
 

Why must the serious pages of our main media be written by foreigners with their agenda that may not be to our national interests? No one owes us a living, would these foreigners think they owe it to us to think in our interest? We don’t owe these foreigners a living to pay them to write and think for us. And looking at their biased views, and often western tainted views or propaganda, it is money wasted that could be put to better use paying our Singaporeans to write and think for us. Though many Singaporean writers may still be young and lack the depth, if we don’t give them the opportunity, how are they going to earn their spurs?
 

This is like the banking industries, if we don’t give Singaporeans the chance to be CEOs and keep on giving such chances to foreigners, how are Singaporeans to be CEOs of our local banks? Give foreigners Singapore citizens to call them Singaporeans is a farce, a sell out of Singaporean interests.
 

Theseira has a very serious point to make. Singaporeans must think for ourselves and not allow foreigners to think for us. Singaporeans must be in charge, not fake Singaporeans, not instant Singaporeans whose loyalty is questionable.

Moon landing - A picture does not lie



Watch this video of the first interview of the 3 astronauts that supposedly landed on the moon in June 1969. The commentary then was that they saw something strange on the moon, speculated that they saw aliens. Thus they were still in a state of shock, and did not know what to say and were not
in a state of excitement or jubilation that they had done something so great and important in their lives and for mankind. During the interview they looked so lost, uncertain, afraid of saying the wrong things, afraid of telling lies. Their facial expressions were that of 3 grown men made to tell lies in front of the camera and they were obviously very uncomfortable. According to the commentator, they were solemn, depressed and disturbed. Why?

This was what Aldrin said. 'what this country set out to do was something going to be done sooner or later...' What did he meant by going to be done sooner or later? He was vague and trying not to be specific.

Collins said this was the first time that man had the option of walking on this planet or other planet. Another diversionary statement from landing on the moon.

And Armstrong, he was not sure what to say and hesitantly said, 'It was...the beginning of... a new age...' Just look at his expression and the expression of all 3 astronauts and put them into context, that they did not go to the moon and was put in front of the camera to tell the nation and the world that they were really on the moon. That was more likely the truth than seeing aliens and that they were so disturbed and no longer felt that they had achieved a great feat for mankind. They did not look so like men who had achieved something great. The 'truth' or lie was all over their faces. They were ashamed of themselves having to tell lies in front of the camera.

Compare to the expression of someone who won an Oscar, or won the American Got Talent or a big race, these were faces of losers, of men made to tell lies. Their conscience were written all over their faces. They looked so sad and unhappy with what was going on. Anyone who did something wonderful, won a race etc etc would be full of joy, pride and jubilation written all over their faces. Not these 3 men 'that just returned from the moon'. There was no pride in them.

Go look carefully at the 3 minute video clip again and ask yourself what were written on their faces, what were in their minds? Why were they looking so sheepish and awkward?

And after the Americans claimed to be on the moon 7 or 8 times, there was no announcement of the Russians going to the moon successfully. But the Americans created another hoax, that they found a Russian moon capsule on the moon and a cosmonauts was found dead outside the capsule in a crater. And for some reason, the cosmonaut had removed his protective headgear that was found a distance away from his dead body. Why would the cosmonaut removed his headgear that would kill him instantly. And the best part, the Russians did not know or reported of this space landing.

The best the Russians did was a space walk and setting up the International Space Station. The Russians were ahead of the Americans in everything about space exploration, but lost out because they never landed on the moon. They even built space station and helped the Americans who claimed to have landed on the moon many times but have no functional and safe rockets to take Americans to the International Space Station.  Nothing odd about this?  

How many of you still believe in the American moon landing? Last year the Russians were trying to send a probe to the moon to verify if the Americans were really there. But this experiment has yet to be conducted.

PS.
In a 2015 article published in the Russian newspaper Izvestia, a spokesperson for the Russian Investigative Committee, Vladimir Markin, called for an international probe into the disappearance of film footage from the famous 1969 event, while querying the whereabouts of lunar rock samples collected by NASA up until 1972.

"We are not contending that they did not fly [to the Moon], and simply made a film about it," Markin wrote.

"But all of these scientific – or perhaps cultural – artefacts are part of the legacy of humanity, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. An investigation will reveal what happened."

Budget debate or talking for the sake of talking?

The Budget debate in Parliament just came to a close. As usual, some millionaires that were pricked by theirconscience tried to speak out for the poorer Singaporeans, asking the govt to spend more to make their lives a bit more bearable. But on the other side, some rich millionaires would parrot the perpetual position, cannot anyhow draw down on the reserves, wait reserves not enough big big trouble. Must protect the reserves to make sure got enough, and must keep on building more reserves.

Anyone see anything wrong with such statements by the cockeyed cocks in Parliament? It is easy to crow about these motherhood statements. Whatweis the point when the cocks are blind? Do the cocks know what they were crowing about? Do they know how much is the reserves? How many of you think the cocks know how much is in the reserves, or maybe they know the reserves is quite empty or nearly empty?

Does anyone know how much money is there in the reserves? Does the President know how much is in the reserves? I think we all know that President Ong Teng Cheong did not know. Does President Halimah know? As for her predecessors, did they bother to want to know?

Now, if the President is unlikely to know, do the ministers or cock MPs know? I bet they did not know. How many agree or disagree with me on this?

Ok, if one does not know how much is in the reserves, how could one be talking about drawing down too much or whether there is enough or not enough in the reserves? Maybe the reserves is already empty. Or maybe the reserves is so huge that it could last forever! The point I am making is that if one does not know, it is better to shut up and stop talking cock.

By the way, how much of our reserves is needed for it to be enough? Is there a definition or a formula. or is it just gasak butak, don't need to know what is enough, just keep adding and adding and adding, never enough? Just what is wrong with collecting more money, what is wrong with keep on adding more to the reserves? Saying this cannot be wrong, like holding the people's CPF on the allegation that they would spent all on Batam trips.

Listen already cannot tahan. Like shadow boxing. How much is really there in he reserves, how much is enough?
