I have been a lighthouse to many...but
I commented on many issues, especially those affecting the less well-off, poor, sick & underdogs.
1) Why build mechanized parking system when you can build taller/higher flats & leave lower levels for parking eg The Pinnacle?
With taller/higher flats, you will also save Bt Brown, save costs & spaces.
2) why increase ERP charges to deter use of cars if by incentivizing car pooling, car sharing & fringe carparks reduced the number of cars on the road?
3) why spend $400mil on foreigners (scholarship) & tell Singaporeans Uni education is not necessary. Besides, Singaporeans pay fees (could have been free if the $400mil is redirected) to study?
4) why pay higher fares for MRT breakdowns & crowded buses/trains instead of rewarding good performances?
5) why select & elect your MPs & complain that your grievances, voices & needs are not met? You have decided & you 'live by the sword & die by the sword'!
All my thoughts and suggestions lead to no where. It's best to action my thoughts than to make comments.
I am a witness to the implosion in my beloved nation soon

Stockmarket & Eclipses
Will the Lunar Eclipse cause another catastrophe in the financial market or the world at large - Oct 8, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse?
Eclipses during year 2014
Eclipses during year 2014
- Apr 15, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse
- Apr 29, 2014 Annular Solar Eclipse
- Oct 8, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse (Currently shown)
- Oct 23, 2014 Partial Solar Eclipse
2014 - Following the low in Jan/Feb (Capricon Effects), market rebounded but still got wiped off most gains nearer April.
After the July 3rd/Q cyclic low, market continued the rise.
Will this Oct 4th/Q-cyclic low be dominant or dramatic as it coincide with the Total Lunar Eclipse?
My gut feel is 'there's going to be coincidentally sharp correction especially those markets that i) have seen new highs ii) are seeing high or near high. Even those that are weak, further drop is not totally unexpected'. It's best to consult your lawyers, brokers and professionals for their learned opinions.
Do Not take my word for it.
Market travels in cycles. Every upward or downward trends may be interrupted and change course; trade with care.

Health Care, Allied Health Personels, Doctors, Hospitals & Such
...health care has become health scare
It is not nice to fall sick; I suppose 'no one wants to fall sick' & to say 'staying healthy is the best way to keep health costs low' is speaking the obvious.
Instead of addressing and rectifying the shortcomings of things that were not done correctly, it was the usual 'the grass take time to grow', 'honest mistakes', 'pay more for better services', 'installing traffic light to show extent of crowdedness in MRT stations', 'at least the patients get warded & have spaces sleeping in tents and corridors'...
Are these naiveness or indifference?
How or why are health costs higher & climbing? The possibilities ;
1) increased in number of people (population, both local & foreigners) seeking medical attention but the number of doctors, trained allied healthcare personnel, nurses and infrastructure lack behind demand
2) unnecessary tests and procedures
3) excessive prescription of drugs
4) medical tourism in public hospitals
5) budgets for health care & support is lacking and inadequate
6) Where Govt &/or restructured hospitals and the health ministry is profit-centric (profit maximization)
The passing of health costs &/or the costs of medicine and treatment to the population is decidedly cruel. Why shouldn't the State cares for the sick and aged? These people have duly traded their youth in nation building and contributed to nation via taxes, done national defence (NS) and are committed Singaporeans. There is no doubt that sickness and diseases are blind and hit anyone even those who constantly remained upright, healthy and live a comparatively healthy lifestyle.
Will the Medishield Life helps? Maybe, but with a pre-planned excessive surplus and reserves in place, everyone will be burdened, save for those who can afford it. There must be an honest and sincere intent to help the sick, a deliberate attempt to lower health costs & a compassion to see that the well being of the populace is taken care of; passing the buck is NOT!
Am I ultruistic and unreal? No
I am speaking now that I can. I wouldn't want to be the last man speaking about my concerns when I am at deathbed.
