Car dealers temporary joy to sell 7000 used car

Car loan lifted for used car trade for two month for dealers by MAS. The news is a relief which affects badly the sale of used car by limiting to 50 percent loan.The 7000 used cars affected are expected to clear and then the new rules step in which will be effective. The high inbuilt Certificate of Entitlement which is a paper permit to transact for a car cause the old stock to be overpriced and over the head of all except the rich and richer.

New Bird flu to sicken the World after Sar, ten years later.Another bad movie.

New Sars, in China as birds deaths causes fatalities to rise. Air travel goes into steep dive, amid fears of transmission, and airport pull out the SOP during the Sars period , many years back. Over 20000 winged species in Shanghai local market were put down after the virus were detected in the samples. All other poultry markets were also closed. The measures led to sell off in other travel related market around the world. 

Flashback to the Sars epidemic a decade back when the China flashpoint originated and under reported and hidden from the world until it became too big to hide, and killiing 2000 people and infecting 8000 world wide. Much less is known but the critical issue is the transmission to human to human. At the same time, NKorea seem to be free of the crisis, or so it seems. Which is worse, to be nuked or birded flu ? I chose none of the above. The world need a megalomaniac as much as a brain freeze in a drink. Pull out the infrared scanners before the airport scanners and the nightmare begins even before one step onboard to visit grandma for the spring break. In the USA, the most broke , with the best bloke to handle the bird crisis after Afghan and Taliban, another enemy on the horizon, and the CDC will be fixing a cocktail to save the world but it will take six months. I suppose all that visits to the great wall of China will need to wait, and await the WHO, that is who will lead the world to save the people like you and me. The new birdsick, it is called H7N9 from the the previous H5N1. It gets bad and worse. The good side so far is that it is really an avian virus and low pathogenic likely to cause mild system somewhat like a mid air turbulence and probably a wrong landing. But the bad and worse is that there are adapting to human mutations to genes which means bad news. On top of the NKorea nuke threat, is the end nears ? The next Zombies generations arises.

Paper cert to buy car hit new high,good or bad ?

 The cost of living has yet again take off in Singapore, in the fast of gloomy global forecast and financial troubles bought on by excessive dept level by successive governments .

Can Singapore goes it own, claiming sky high paper to own car ? Does it make proper economic sense or it is right .This is what Singaporean have to decide for itself.

The local new details as follows:

Certificate of Entitlement (COE) prices for most vehicles have increased, even setting a new record in two categories.

In the recent bidding exercise which concluded on Wednesday, the COE for Category A (cars up to 1600cc) closed at S$77,291, breaking the previous record of S$77,201 set two weeks ago.
For Category B (cars above 1600cc), the COE price increased by more than S$600 to reach S$93,004.
For Category C (goods vehicles and buses), the COE is now at S$60,235 — a  S$1,124 increase from S$59,111 two weeks ago which sets a new record for the category.
In the Open Category, the COE increased by close to S$2,000 to reach S$93,990.
Note that Category D below is the only sensible fall. This suggest that Singapore need to go back to 2 wheels for those who cannot.
Category D (motorcycles) is the only category that saw a fall in price. The COE fell close to S$300 from S$1,959 to S$1,689.
Where the price of a car is more than the basic house over your head, something is not right.
Am I right or wrong ?

The Great Flood 2010,Great Singapore Sales follows

The great Singapore Flood 2010 of June 19th put the news on the water resources of Singapore. All the drains and rivers finally connects to the Marina Basin Floodgate, it shows the fragile connection between conserving water and controlling it. All resources leading to control the flow have not been successful so far, witness the numerous flash flood that hit Singapore once in every blue moon or as late as last November say the PUB Chief Khoo Teng Chye. When the water was rising in ultra rich Bukit Timah district, the flood gate was lifted. There lives the rich and lorded and connected, who head of department could seen be assailed in the next morning , when the flood in here reaches their doorstep. But Stamford Canal, the unknow x factor and more merchant like than connected the place of Business and where the Streets to be seen when in Singapore.
Very soon the business hub of Singapore, where the B in Business come from, it was raining cats and dogs, and not a tourists in sight. It was a flood of the wrong type, not the card carrying or Gucci carrying type but the more liquid type. The whole street was cover with an overly generous cups of Cappuccino and all the Lattes, from the basement of Starbuck to the top of the stairs. All swirling and coloured froths, representing the signatures of the Coffee culture. Just pure plain flood water , overflowing from the drains and channels fast and furious, showing who is King, nature or the builders of Orchard Road . The Great Flood wins ,hand down.
There were more water seen flowing in the streets of Orchard Road, than the whole year in one hour. The flood was equivalent to 60 Olympics size pools, and not that Singapore should be complaining. Singapore needed that much to convert to water for its inhabitant. But the timing was off . The root cause of it all was the debris, leaves and flotsome that flows under the road of Orchard Road. There were actually two canals that runs the length of the road, one major and one minor. The interlink under the middle of the road with the grills and bars to stop the debris was ineffective. It stops the leaves and the water when the grill traps became solid as a wall instead of as porus as a sieve. Thus the ferocity and speeds and the masses of flood water back up back towards the drains and back where it all came and connected from the road and containments. When the liquid masses congregates, it took a life of its own and seeks every bits and spaces it can go to ,including branded and shops and all. Stocks and all were soaked to the brims and millions dollars of goods were evacuated to higher ground or damage. A few high ended goods, like shoes were seen going for a walk.
The Pub chief, ultimately the CEO of the whole drains and canals leading to the Marina Bay Reservoir trotted out figures and to do for the new few years. The hard ware include inspections, litter traps and maintenace schedules to be updated and enforced.
It includes $2 billions will be poured ito the drain. $150 to improve the drainage so that the flows will not be interrupted on its way to the Marina Bay Reservoir. More workers will be employed by the PUB. Not the Pub where one goes for the watering hole, but lowly paid workers, moving around to ensure no debris hung around there. The debris will be disperse to prevent congregations. The design of the debris traps were supposed to be self cleaning, but in lull days, the dirts hardly a forces to stop the flow of water. However, when the number and masses of dirts and debris reaches a critical levels, it strikes back, much like the Empire strike back. Then the real problems will become more apparents until it became a force to be reckon with.
The workers will be mainly overseeing the Lucky Plaza ,where the traders of the basement had a little bit of luck. The building had a back door where the flood water can leave as fast as they come it, thus preventing a built up. In Liat Tower, there were no such measure. There were no back doors for the water to escape. It flooded the Branded goods to the top of the stairs.
At the end of the Great Flood of 2010, the next items will the the continuing of the Great Singapore Sales. New stocks will arrive, not to worry the buyers.
