Good Leadership vs Evil Leadership

Good leadership provides policies that help humanity.

Evil leadership provides policies that are detrimental to humanity.

A new awareness is spreading regarding the The Evil Hands that guide policies indirectly and behind the scenes. How do you know that Evil Hands are at work? People who are profiteering from War. Clean Free Energy vs people who want an oil base polluted economy ... Policies targeted against women .... Bankers paying themselves huge sums of money when they brought about world financial collapse...no change here.

Keep writing little notes to people you believe in, to support them and remind them of their promises and those you don't believe in, to remind them of their responsibilites to mankind.

Water pipes going to be more valuable than oil pipes

With drought becoming more and more prominent, water pipes that can bring water from flooded areas to drought areas are going to be more valuable than oil pipes. If drought brings about agricultural catastrophe, oil is not going to be of much value, if people have no food to eat.

An Awakening.

Coastal Flooding

Coastal flooding is causing huge loss in lives and property. Time for engineers and scientists to act to prevent coastal flooding all over the world. 

Write little notes to your bankers

Non-professional staff

Nurses

Teachers

Bankers vs Technicians

Cleaners

Compare the services provided by Bankers vs services provided by non-professional staff. Next, compare the pay received by Bankers vs pay received by non-professional staff.

It becomes very clear isn't it. 

Write little notes to your Bankers to remind them of their social responsibility.

Lessons from World Financial Collapse

One of the lessons to be learnt from the World Financial Collapse is that each country needs some manufacturing industries in their own countries. Citizens need jobs to feed themselves. Jobs (Industries) are needed to create an economy. The bailout for the financial system alone is not enough to grow the economy.

Let Justice spread like wild fires.

Little fires of justice are starting. Let these little fires of justice spread like wild fires in the Justice System.

Water pipes

Drought areas, Flooded areas. If water can be brought from flooded areas to drought areas. If water from flooded areas can be brought to agricultural land affected by drought, this will help to keep agricultural land from going to waste. All these are possible with current technology.

Power of soldiers

When soldiers realise the power they hold and not just be blind followers the world will change monumentally. During the time of Hitler, if soldiers realized who the real enemy was, many lives including their own could have been saved. Soldiers are sons of their Homeland and it is their duty to protect the rights of the citizens of the country. 

How to avoid possible bloody revolutions

One way to avoid possible bloody revolutions is for individuals, groups to collect signatures on issues and sue the appropriate authorities, corporations, groups or individuals to remedy their grievances. The state will pay for all the legal fees in such cases so that individuals and small groups can take large corporations to court. This will provide a legal path for individuals and small groups to address their grievances and avoid bloody confrontations. This will also put power back to the people and not in the hands of unscrupulous corporations who are out just to make profits and not care about the environment or ordinary folks. Ordinary folks will have a legal way out to address their grievances.

This will put the public Media and high profile individuals who mislead/misled the public about the true health of the financial system liable to be sued.

Converting grass patches into cabbage patches

Gloom and doom is coming back again. I hope community centres will conduct courses for people on how to grow vegetables, rear chickens, ducks etc and grow fruit trees. Time to start converting grass patches into cabbage patches and grow fruit trees.

Cabbage patches are probably not a very good idea. Maybe sweet potatoes.

As popular as Elvis Presley

Even though Aidan Davis did not win the Britain Got Talent 2009, I think he is going to be as famous as Elvis Presley, maybe even more.

He is an inspiration for the young as well as the old.

I predict he will be appearing on every billboard very, very soon.

The Greatest Fear

is that the brain behind 911 is not the man sitting in some caves in Afghanistan. It means that he is on the loose amongst one of you and he is a mad Devil seeking to cause catastrophe to achieve his goals. God help us all.

Here's my reply to Benjamin Fulford

There is no point in sending out threats especially to the most powerful people on this planet. If there is going to be any change, it has to come from the inside, that is, some of the people who are in the group do not agree on the way the things have taken shape and take steps to change it. When blind ambition has blinded some of the members, those who can still see a better way of doing things and decide on a better path will lie the future of this planet. Otherwise, when a critical mass of the world is reached and understands and know that there are better ways of running this planet will we see change for a happier, healthier world. 

Those who have a responsibility in the torture of prisoners show their true colors. They are inhumane and should be recognised as such. The "brain" behind 911 is still on the loose. Those loved ones who were killed in the 911, if they follow the events of post 911 should be able to tell the truth from falsehood. 

Soldiers on duty in Iraq and Afghanistan want to go home. They know what is happening. Some of them, I think rather kill themselves than participate in what they know is not right (this is just my feeling). Let Obama bring them home as he had promised in the campaign trail. 

If you follow the events of Thailand, how the political party voted in by the people were ousted on the charge of corruption......makes you wonder.

Former South Korean President, a people President committed suicide ... hmmm another thing to ponder on.

Time will tell whether Obama can do what he promised during his campaign

I believe USA President Obama will try to do what he promised and more during his term in his office. But alot of obstacles seem to be in his way. He and his wife Michelle are honest folks who have succeeded from the bottom up. Let's see how he is going to manoevre his way around all the obstacles, but with his strong support from the voters, I believe he will be able to achieve what he knows needs to be done. 

Britain Got Talent 2009

Gregg Pritchard....

Hmm.. he was a real suprise in his first audition in Britain Got Talent 2009. He seems to perform better when he concentrates with  his eyes closed.

I think his cape distracted him in his semi-finals. 

Sad not to see him in the Finals though.

Sue Son is another very talented lady. If she had smiled more may be she could have got more votes. It is disappointing not to be able to see her in the Finals though.

Super, super, super talented Aidan Davis

Britain Got Talent 2009.......Watch the super, super, super talented Aidan Davis, 11 yr old dancer.

He is just electrifying

electrifying

electrifying!!!!

In my opinion, he's a better dancer than Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake!!!    WOW

I think he's gonna win the Britain Got Talent 2009 contest.

Who is the new "Hitler"?

The new "Hitler" is not going to announce that he is "Hitler". Look at his methods, his cruelty,his inhumanity, his ambition and this will give you some clue who the new "Hitler" is. People tried to 44 times to assassinate the last Hitler.

Do you know who or what you are fighting for?

If you are a  terrorist, don't even bother to fight the soldiers, they are just wage earners. They are the pawn in a chess game. Know who and what you are fighting for. You both may be fighting for the same guy(s).......conspiracy theory. Whoever is behind the 911 bombing is the mad DEVIL, someone who wants power at all costs.

Looking at what has happened after the 911 incident, it should give you some idea who is behind the holocaust. Is it really the person who they say it is?.........another conspiracy theory.

More conspiracy theories ............some of the bombings may not have been done by the terrorists.

Another conspiracy theory ........these virus escaped from some lab......more may be on the way.

If you watched cataclysmo ..............if these people are not stopped, some mad Devil is going to bring disaster to this planet.

Hitler himself did not do all those terrible things by himself, he was helped by all his closest followers. Are we seeing a repeat of those times again? So who is the new "Hitler"?

Unfounded fears of inflation

There is an unfounded fear of inflation if there is too much money in the system. This is the fear created to keep people poor. This is the 21st century, technology has advanced so tremendously, there are so many new things that can be done. Space exploration is now limited to only a few people, in time more and more people can be be involved in the space exploration industry. This is a very exciting arena. This is going to be an industry of unlimited possibilities. 

But it is true, one chicken used to cost $3/- now it is $6/-. This is 200% inflation, but the money going into citizens pocket has not increased by 200%/. We are having inflation, but the money citizens are getting are not compensating for inflation. This is  a double whammy. You have inflation, but the money supply to ordinary folks have not increased.

Walk around the world

With job losses, no money to travel, how about walking around the world. Good for health too. Good exercise walking around the world. Start a walk around the world movement. 

Money, Money Money

A more unlimited backing for money is actually money spent in the Universe. This is different from money spent on planet earth. Planet earth is limited. The Universe is unlimited. The way the world has been run has been limited by the money circulating on planet Earth where a few control the majority of the money. All the money spent on these financial products doesn't do much to promote the growth, prosperity on planet earth. 

Singapore has done much; with solar power, I look forward to having fans along covered walkways. 

More details on why I think money will be backed by land

Here are more details on why  I think money will be backed by land. Many experts are predicting steep rise in gold. If this happens it is not going to be good for the economy. It will be just speculation. If there is not enough bread to go around, gold is not going to fill your stomach. This will happen in a nuclear war. 

Land prices varies depending on what is on top of the land or below it. 

Agricultural land, Airport land, Residential land etc varies in prices. If land on one type of use is changed to another, the value of the land changes. However, it is not possible to try to convert land to only one type of use in order to increase the price of the land. This is because, society requires land for different purposes. Innovation, Technological changes etc will change the use of land and hence its price. Land use will evolve with time. Structures above the land as well as contents below the land can change with time. Land can be used more creatively and flexibly. Money is meant for easy trading, it is meant to go round and round in cycles. But with all the speculation and gambling in the financial sector, this is not going to help the economy. In fact, it is going to make the economy worse. Lots of money is being shifted from productive use to non productive use. But some of these people who benefit don't care, they just want to own as much money as possible and make as many people as possible to be as poor as can be.

World government, new world order will just make some people even richer and more people poorer.

Some are just born for wars - Beware

There are some people on this planet  who are just born for wars and know nothing else. They have absolutely no idea what other thing to do than to create wars. Beware of them. They are the ones who are going to be very persuasive, create all kinds of excuses, create fear and panic, arouse people to anger and when you are all fired up they are going to offer you the solution that war is neccessary to get rid of evil. You get it. War is good to get rid of evil. War itself is evil. Some of these people may have come from generations of generals and commanders. They stand out only in wars. There's going to be a lot of hype on TV to arouse people to support war. We know that a nuclear war will kill us all. No matter how reasonable or enticing the reason to go to war ...say never again. Wars only create destruction, poverty, sorrow and pain. Find leaders from all sides who want peace and prosperity. 

Beware of those who want to create wars. Remember a nuclear war will kill us all.

There are so many wonderful things to do in life. Look at Britain Got Talent. Some of them have such amazing gifts if only the education system had just asked them some questions, what do you like to do best, what talent do you think you have before putting them through an education system which does not recognise innate talent.

Law of Attraction

A paradigm shift. What would happen if every individual is given a monthly allowance of $500 for the rest of their lives? The possibilities are quite endless. Democracy is not about electing political parties, it is more to do with how much money citizens are getting. Are they given a say on this? 

I am putting out this message to the Universe according to law of attraction.

What will happen to all the Defence personnel??

Best is to put them work as Scientific Innovators in all the various sectors of the economy. How about having restaurants on board these aircraft carriers?? This is one way of putting defence equipment for civilian use.

Rescueing damsel in distress

Damsel in distress need to have some Generals on her side. Even if power is handed to her, it can always be taken away, as is in her case, she was voted in, but where were her generals? Are generals supposed to protect the constitution in a country or support some individuals interest instead? There is something awaiting those Generals....... not good, not good thing

What Palestine can do?

The best thing for Palestine to do is to open up the country to tourists so people can go in and take a look. The same with IRAN, open up the country to tourists so people can go in an take a look for themselves and not just listen to BBC and CNN for news on these countries.

The silver tsunami

Community centres can organise weekend walks to botanic gardens, reservoirs, mt faber, etc. for senior citizens. Get the silver generation to go out on walks instead of staying at home all day so that they will not end up in wheel chairs. This will actually end up in savings with less senior citizens ending up in hospitals.

I am of the opinion that the silver generation are the ones who can bring about great changes to the world because of their experience and knowledge and not relegated as waiting for their time to be up.

I laugh when I read that Singaporean has no freedom of speech. Look at what Bush era has done ...so much for freedom of speech in America. The man, John "splitting the sky" Boncore was arrested for trying to arrest Bush for war crimes.

Elimination of nuclear weapons

Citizens agenda for leaders

Eliminate nuclear weapons before some mad man cause a nuclear war. 

Divert more money from military spending to more inventions and scientific discoveries. Governments collect 7% gst, collaboration between private and government sectors in improving all sectors. Some have suggested that military spending actually brought about industrialisation and other benefits, but my argument is that all that money spent on military if diverted to other sectors will actually create more benefits and innovations.

New Bold Steps to stop all the gloom and doom

Give everyone a $1 million dollars account but each can withdraw only $500 a month from that account. This amount can be reviewed from time to time. Those who want to spend more than $500 a month will have to work for it. Unlimited opportunities will arise. Many will come up with more ideas and creativity to make things happen. The world can be a marvellous world or a hellish one, it is up to mankind to decide. 

There have been some wrongs done, still waiting to see if actions taken to correct them. The financial system has still not changed!!!

Consumerism

If you had watched one of Oprah Winfrey's episode, where she showed families consuming so much that their house become a warehouse. If you think, consumerism will bring back the economy, then there are many other consumers with no money but waiting to be consumers. One cannot expect the same wealthy people to keep consuming the same items.

If you are unhappy about things around you, go set up a business.

When you make enough money, you can decide what you want to do with it.

When you don't have money, it is just talk.

Salary restructure scenarios

Annual salary

Scenario 1

CEO 20 million
Middle Managers 18 million
Workers 16 million

Scenario 2

CEO 1 million
Middle Managers 800 000
Workers 600 000

Middle Managers 80 000
Workers 60 000

Scenario 4

CEO 50 000
Middle Managers 48 000
Workers 46 000

You can have other scenarios.

Let companies fail, just bail out the workers

Yes, let companies fail, just bail out the workers. Give workers severance bonus pay until they get another job or for the rest of their lives depending on age and other factors. Why should executives be give such unrealistic bonus payout for the rest of their lives? Companies need to keep up with change.

If new jobs cannot be created, then give them each a mini farm.

Understanding Arguments

You now know the difference in wages. You are told that the people at the top need to be paid a lot so that they can create and maintain companies and give you a job. You are to be grateful and thankful for that job, without it you will starve. You have to be efficient so that the company can make money and survive. You have to work hard so that the company can make money and continue giving you that job. You must be grateful for the little salary they give you. You must be grateful ....for the little salary they pay you.

Just bail out the depositers

Let banks fail, just bail out the depositers.

Cheaper resorts along the beach front

Most resorts along the beach fronts are too expensive for the average wage earners.

How to prevent WWW 3?

This has to be an initiative either by Governments or by individuals.

Create mini farms for all those who do not have a job.

For countries with a small land mass, build multi-storey mini farms.

If governments do not want to do it, individuals have to take the initiative.

Teach people how to grow vegetables and rear chickens, ducks etc.

Don't wait until tomorrow, do it today.

The best thing that Barack Obama and all governments can do today, is to announce this initiative.

These mini farms cannot be traded.

Learning about salary mathematics

Here are some calculations to compare salaries :

10 000 000 / 50 000 = 200

The above example shows that if an individual earns 10 million a year compared to a worker who earns 50 000 a year, that individual who is earning 10 million a year is earning 200 times more than the worker who is earning 50 000 a year.

1 000 000 / 50 000 = 20

The above example shows that if an individual earns 1 million a year compared to a worker who earns 50 000 a year, that individual who is earning 1 million a year is earning 20 times more than the worker who is earning 50 000 a year.

250 000 / 50 000 = 5

The above example shows that if an individual earns 250 000 a year compared to a worker who earns 50 000 a year, that individual who is earning 250 000 a year is earning 5 times more than the worker who is earning 50 000 a year.

Why is it that companies that have been prosperous over the years have no capital left in their company?

This is because, some CEO s being "smart" as they are, are paying themselves the maximum they can until their company have no more capital left in their company. So what are they going to use as collateral when they borrow from the bank, only the companies' assets.

It is true that some companies which are expanding all the time will have no capital left in their company.

It is also true that companies that had huge capital reserves in the past had been raided for their capital reserves, so why would companies want to keep capital reserves in their company?

How do you differentiate crooks from genuine business failures?
Before a company is allowed to go into bankruptcy, a few things to examine :
salary remuneration to their top executives,
conflict of interest in the companies, etc.

so how to device regulations that show that because salary remuneration is excessive and not in the interest of the company that caused the company to go bankrupt.

It is always a case of integrity versus the crook... cases of police chasing after the criminal. What is criminal and what is not? Some are clear cut but many are not.

Capitalism and the poor worker ... more on this later

More money for projects mean more jobs

Yes, more money for projects mean more jobs. More money for projects means more chances of bringing on new inventions.

Why I believe more money is better than less?

There are many cynics out there who think that with 1 more trillion out there, paper money will be worth less. The truth of the matter is that the more money the better. Why? The purpose of money is what you can do with it. I do not mean just consuming. If Howard Hughes did not have the money to experiment on aircrafts, I believe that the world would today be not so advanced in the aircraft industry. It is how money is used that is important. So if money is used for research and development and conquer new frontiers, the country that can come up with the most inventions will be the winner. I, in fact believe that, even more money distributed to projects to be undertaken the better.

Money will be backed by land not gold.

But if you think that having a lot of money can buy you lots of land, this will not be the case. Land on earth will cost more and more. So this will eventually lead men to explore the sea, air and outer space.

There are so many new inventions on the verge of coming to fruition. The world will become more exciting and fun.

Eventually, all these weapon and military equipment will have to have dual purposes, not just for war but for peaceful uses as well.

Sprinkler system in forest

With recent forest fires and the devastation they cause to lives and properties, sprinkler system in the forest will prevent such occurrences. What? where is the money going to come from? Now you get what I mean, the no money excuse.

Boom and bust in Real Estate

Homes are the largest expenditure item in any one's income. That is why boom and bust in real estate can cause catastrophic consequences. So how much should real estate prices be allowed to escalate.

If real estate prices are to go up by 1 percent per year, it will take 100 years for a piece of real estate to double in value.

If real estate prices are to go up by 5 percent per year, it will take 20 years for a piece of real estate to double in value.

If real estate prices are to go up by 10 percent per year, it will take 10 years for a piece of real estate to double in value.

If real estate prices are to go up by 20 percent per year, it will take 5 years for a piece of real estate to double in value.

When real estate prices go up too rapidly, people wants to speculate in the stock market rather than go to work.

Views expressed are solely my own

Some redistribution of wealth is neccessary

There are some who are opposed to redistribution of wealth. If the wealthiest in the countries oppose some redistribution of wealth, I can understand why. Redistribution of wealth can come in many ways, higher wages for the people, money going into research and development, money used for building bridges and homes etc. all the neccessary things, not just for profit. When natural disaster strike, money has to poured in to help the people and in doing so also help the economy as well, companies will have jobs and work to be done.

Money needs to go in a cycle .. the money cycle.

No redistribution of wealth is like water evaporating from the sea and no rain coming down.

High payouts for financial executives cannot continue without justification, where is the money coming from to pay them?

All views expressed are my personal views.

How is wealth is measured?

The wealth of a nation is measured by how the poorest of the poor live in the nation. The wealth of the world is measured by how the poorest of the poor live in the world.

With the financial crises, more people now want to understand the role of the Federal Reserve Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. They would like to know how the executives are elected to head these institutions. How their policies affect the lives of everyone. How much are these executives paid? The people have been hovering over the lives of the famous and the rich, but now people want to know about the lives of these people who are heading these financial institutions.

Some basic neccessities like clean water and sanitation, housing for the poor are still not addressed. When the poor have no money, their problems will never go away. By giving money to the poor, businesses can go about solving all these problems and the world will be richer. Enjoying trips on luxury liners are just dreams to the poor and will always remain so. How many percent of the world population watch all these golf tournaments?


All views expressed are soley my own.

How is wealth measured?

Tent Cities .. blogs from 2 years ago

It is mind boggling to know that tent cities have been up like 2 years ago. America is such an innovative country with technologies quite unmatched elsewhere in the world. If you watch these super giant machines and factories that are in America, you too will be scratching your head how this can happen. America is huge, I mean really huge. You should come to Singapore and then you will know what small is.

Barack Obama ..Hope

People in the tent cities are looking to Obama for hope. I am still trying to search the web to get information on what his administration is doing to help these people in tent cities.


Where are the solutions to Genocide, Tent Cities?

Credit Agencies

I have still not heard on what have been done to rectify these Credit Agencies. Credit Agencies that rubber stamp AAA on financial products.

What will happen if teachers mark all their students A?

Change to the Federal Reserve Board

These are my personal beliefs.

I personally think that it is better to have the Federal Reserve Board represented by people from all sectors eg. Engineers, architects, social workers, scientists, poets, writers, singers etc.

It is better to have announced several rescue plans to several sectors rather than just the financial sector. People are wondering why the Financial Sector is so special. What will happen if everyone moves into the financial sector? Why not? Excellent pay. Paid to fail.

What Financial Executives can do?

I have a suggestion here for Financial Executives who have received huge payouts over the past few years.. They can issue cheques and distribute these to all those people who have been very badly affected by the financial crises, like those living in the tent cities. At least let them have some temporary reprieve.

I saw in a Youtube video how the police beat up these normal citizens living in the tent cities to make them leave and hand cuffed these poor helpless citizens. ..As they say .....

It is a SHAME, a real SHAME and I share their sentiment.

Gambling in Financial Products and Derivatives 1

Countries have to decide for themselves whether they want to allow companies, institutions, etc. to gamble in financial products and derivatives. If they decide that they do not want companies and institutions, etc. to gamble in financial products and derivatives, then they have to put in place laws to disallow such activities. However, they may choose to let individuals using their own money to gamble in financial products and derivatives. This has to be decided immediately and put in place or face the consequences.

Imagination 1

This is a continuation of my article Imagination.

Imagine, you wake up one morning and everyone finds 10 million dollars in their bank account ... say a gift from Federal Reserve bank. What will happen??

I see a host of endless possibilities:

There will be plenty of money for research and development.

Diseases can be wiped out. People can afford to pay for medicine.

Clean water will be available to everyone, people can afford to pay for clean water.

Everyone can afford a roof over their head.

People will be going to work not because they need money but for the love of the job.. just imagine that!!!

Proper sanitation for everyone

People everywhere will be doing what they love.

Treatment will be available for shopping addicts.

People can go for facials, massage , new hair styles.

People can learn to play guitar or piano or any number of musical instruments they desire.

Poets can write poetry without having to worry about money.

Song writers, musicians, singers and all in the art industry will go out and do what they love, without having to worry about money.

Space travel and exploration will be booming. New inventions will be created.

People can go to college to get not just one degree but as many as they like.

People will be able to afford to pay for machines to do menial tasks.

Restaurant owners will be able to change and design their restaurants without having to worry about budgets.

New inventions will keep humming, because people can afford them.

Robotics will get a tremendous boost.

Crime rates will drop, people don't have to rob anymore.

Pollution can be tackled because now manufacturers do not have to worry about money.

Life will become paradise.

Best of all, all you billionaires out there, you can become trillionaires.

So why have all these not happened, because of lack of money. Only a few people get to have hundreds of million of dollars and the rest have little or no money.

We are now living in an age of inventions and industrialisation, we cannot afford to continue doing things the same old way.

What is

the value of 30m divided by 300 million.

Ans :0.1

So if 30 million dollars is distributed to 300 million people, each person is only going to get 10 cents. I guess each of these person is not going to miss getting the 10 cents will they? But, ouch!!! if only 1 person gets the 30 million dollars, it is going to be hell of a lot isn't it.

Do you guys out there get it!!!!

Gambling in Financial Products and Derivatives

People using other people's money to gamble in financial products and derivatives and being paid huge sums of money for doing so is a sure formula for disaster. All these money is being channeled out of the productive system into these financial gambling activities will make the man in the street poorer.

The big gambling game has just started again and it is only a matter of time before it will collapse again.

Rewarding gambling habits in these financial products is just not even common sense, it is special interest groups in operation and more and more people are getting into these programs and trying to find programs to make money in gambling in these activities.

How do you differentiate the crook from the good guy?
A company comes along, borrows money from the bank or lists IPO or any other financial schemes and pays himself huge sums of money, then the company goes bust but he has already filled his pocket.

Imagination

100 million x 6 billion = 600 million billion = 600 000 000 billion = 600 000 trillion

10 million x 6 billion = 10 000 000 x 6 billion = 60 000 000 billion = 60 000 trillion

100 000 x 6 billion = 600 000 billion = 600 trillion

What's all these figures about?

If everyone is given 100 000, there will be 600 trillion

If everyone is given 10 million, there will be 60 000 trillion

If everyone is given 100 million, there will be 600 000 trillion

There will be no more squabbling over bonus payments. Just give it to everyone. Some are going to argue that then money is worthless, too much. Well, there is a lot of oil, and it is not worthless, is it? Put tax on items that cause earth pollution.

If you know how big earth is, take 600 000 trillion and divide by that, that will give you how much per sq. foot earth is worth.

Let Singapore manage your economy

Do you want your economy to be better managed? This is a global world, you can get talent from any part of the world. By letting Singapore manage your economy, you avoid the pitfalls and painful experiences. You will get a fast track to a better economy.

Wheat grass - my experience

Like some green horn trying to improve my energy level, I have at times tried new things to eat. One of these is wheat grass. Here's my experience: After consuming wheat grass juice which I made myself from fresh wheat grass, I found that my energy being drained to such an extent that I can tell you what it is like to be at death door. A friend later told me that wheat grass is very very cooling. It is many, many times more cooling than barley, watermelon or chrysanthemum. So check if you are the yin or the yang before you take wheat grass. Some food are suitable for the yin, and some food are suitable for the yang.

Franchising mini farms

Why not franchise mini farms? This is one market I believe has a lot of potential.

More International Schools in Singapore

One way to promote interaction among citizens around the world is for them to build International schools here in Singapore so students from all over the world can study and learn from each other. It will be a good way for citizens from all over the world to learn about each other's culture and languages. It will provide citizens a Singapore's perspective of living together.

Back to Basics

With so many jobs lost and more jobs to be lost, it's back to basic. Creating small plots of land for growing vegetables and chickens. Creating more small chicken farms with the proper drainage and sewage system will provide those without jobs a way to feed themselves. Other types of small animal farms can be created also. Small fish farms too.

The best boss I had

I have learnt that it is important to give credit where credit is due. So who is the best boss I had. I had more than a dozen bosses in my various job experiences. The best boss I had is Matthias Yao Chi. Although I had only worked with him for a very, very brief time, I vote Matthias Yao as the best boss I had. I believe he is a people developer.

Why are there no slums in Singapore?

There are poor people in Singapore but there are no slums. This is not by accident. Someone or a group of people in the Government got to solving the problem. What is the definition of a slum? A slum is a squalid section of a city. In simple terms, it is a collection of a group of poor people living together. So what is the solution to avoid slums? Don't put all the poor people together. Don't house all the poor people together. In any housing projects, cater to the housing of the poor, the average Joe and the wealthy. When you group people from various financial status, the wealthy can help the poor, the poor can look to work for the rich; the poor can learn for the rich and the rich can teach the poor. This will also expose the rich to experience and understand the plight of the poor. There are some areas in Singapore that are more exclusive to the richer section of the population.

If you have benefitted from the information in this article, trade with Singapore, work with Singaporeans. Let Singapore play a greater role in world affairs. Just a reminder, low crime rate does not mean no crime.

Money Cycle

What money cycle? You have learnt about the water cycle, the life cycle but what about the money cycle. Understanding and proper management of the money cycle will lead to less disastrous consequences across the world and better lives for everyone.

Let's first examine the water cycle. Water evaporates and form clouds. Clouds come down as rain and the cycle continues. When there is no rain, you get drought.

Let's examine the life cycle. Parents give life to new born. They grow old and then dies. The young grow up and give life to new born and the cycle continues. If there are lesser and lesser new borns, then the population starts to dwindle.

Let's examine the money cycle. Companies employ workers and workers are paid salaries. Workers then spend their money on a variety of goods and services and so some of the money goes back to the companies. But, if workers cannot find jobs, then they have no salaries and no money to spend. So for a better life, theoretically, all workers have to have a job, otherwise they have to find some way to feed themselves.

The Greatest Hoist of The Century

It is better than visiting Fox Knox. A CEO's being paid a whopping $230 million for bringing disaster to the company and the world. Wow!!

BuyToto

I used to think that Toto is a sure loss. But with the financial crisis, Toto looks like a better bet. If you put in $50 dollars, you have a chance to win a $1 million dollars or more depending on the prize money. But if you lose, you only lose $50 dollars. With all these complex financial products, some that gives, let's say 8 - 12 % return, has a risk of 100% loss, goodness gracious, if anyone had told the truth, who would have bought them.

Unravelling the mystery

Will Rush get the crocks for daylight rubbery? I will admit I have misjudged if the answer is yes.

Who should be the highest paid?

It should be the mothers. No pay no babies. That's what more and more are saying, if you look at the decline in babies in the developing world. No babies mean no workforce. No workforce means no economic growth. I now understand why Hillary Clinton garnered such a huge number of votes.

Restoring Confidence in Financial Markets

If people go around selling quack medicine, the law will be after them faster than you can say "Jack in the box". Selling contaminated products have the same consequences. Selling products that don't work have the same consequences. This is the way to restore confidence in consumers.

Announcements that portions of salaries paid out to all the individuals involved in the mismanagement of the financial system will be recovered including those who came up and sold all these so called complex sophisticated products is the quickest way to restore confidence in the financial markets. If not, more of this will follow. Many are saying, stop the blame game. Exactly, action has to be taken to immediately to start the recovery of salaries and bonuses paid out. So how much money should be recovered? Do you think they deserve to be paid more than the cleaners and the garbage collectors? At least the cleaners and garbage collectors contribute to society by keeping the city clean. Would you pay them if they left behind an even greater mess behind.

Some say that the CEOs deserve their pay. When it comes to work, everybody yells "teamwork". When it comes to pay, let's yell out "team pay".

Integrity and concern for Mankind

Integrity and concern for mankind is more important than talent. Many of today's problems can be solved by just having a concern for mankind. Many people are out there to make more and even more money for themselves. Thoughts such as how can I make myself appear better by running down others are prevalent.

High Oil Prices

High oil prices is bad news for many but it is better news than oil has run out. More will be switching to bicycles and public transport. This means lanes will have to be created for bicycles and pedestrians. I look forward to greener cities.

Great Hands and Great Minds

Inventors have both great hands and great minds. Giving students stints in various fields such as a month or two in ITE, Art Academy, Music Academy, Cooking schools etc. will improve creative talents. I see so many with great minds but are hopeless in using their hands for creating. Investing in people talent is the best investment.

Covered walkways

Covered walkways in HDB estates are really useful in Singapore's hot, sunny and rainy weather. How wonderful it would be, if this is extended to private housing estates as well. As the population ages, walking is the best exercise to keep the people healthy.

Just have to say something about Larry King

I have a question for Larry King. Why does he wear the two straps over his shoulder? As you obviously note, I am a follower of his show.

A different environment

If Chee Soon Juan wonders why he is not doing well in Singapore, perhaps he should check with a speech therapist. His accent is way out and I am quite sure the way he speaks can't jell with the Ah Bengs and Ah Sohs. He seems to keep banging his head against the wall at exactly the same spot and hope that something miraculous will happen. Perhaps he will do better in Myammar, Africa, Somalia or Darfur. I hope he takes up my suggestion.

Different Perceptions

The rich view magnificent buildings as symbols of wealth. The poor look at these same magnificent buildings and see them as symbols of poverty. Why? Because when they look at these magnificent buildings and they compare it with their own meagre place of living and the contrast is just too much!! Some people look at these buildings and compare them with the homes for the elderly or the disabled. The sick look at these magnificent buildings and wonder why they can't afford to pay for their medical fees and those who have not made it through the education system wonder how they could have been so left out.

1 week from 18th May

....hmmm. Do what you need to do. Take action or just sleep at home and enjoy a bowl of porridge. Sometimes not doing anything is also doing something. Best of luck and hope good things will come about.

More Singaporeans holidaying in Singapore?

I am of the opinion that more Singaporeans will choose to have their holidays in Singapore. I used to enjoy going on holidays abroad in the past to see the mountains and lakes and because they had cleaner toilets. But now that our toilets are getting more decent I would actually like to holiday in Singapore. Overseas tour buses will have to upgrade to provide music players and even laptops to entice tourists to travel long distances in them like what they have in airplanes.

Don't miss Singapore's Orchid Garden

Singapore's Orchid Garden promises an experience you won't want to miss. When you enter the Orchid garden you will feel as though you have been transported to another planet. So lovely, so neat, so clean, so refreshing, so breath-taking. I have heard some tourists' utter admiration at the sight. Singapore is increasingly adding on new species of plants all over the island. Take bus rides and you will be able to see them. Even new birds are coming into my garden. There used to be sparrows and crows but I can see more yellow birds and other kind of birds hopping around.

Singapore's Orchid Garden is located in the Singapore Botanic gardens.

An area for mothers to express their milk

With the knowledge that breast milk is good for babies, more mothers are now breastfeeding their babies. Thanks to the government, mothers now have 3 months maternity leave. But after the 3 months maternity leave, mothers who choose to continue to breastfeed their babies when they return to work need an area in their workplace to express their milk. What will happen when their workplace have no such area? Do bosses know that mother's breast will gorge when they can't express their milk? Not only is gorging of the breast painful, but can harm the health of the mother. Mother's plight have to be looked into if more women are to have babies and a career as well.

A most embarassing incident

A most embarassing incident happened some years back. I was among the 40 tourists touring a country. We had this very enthusiastic guide with us. He brought us to see many delightful places of interest. Then he brought us to a restaurant for our lunch. After lunch, each of us visited the toilet. We got a shock at the state of the toilet. Some even photographed it. Every one complained. The tourist guide was flabbergasted. I can imagine what he must be saying to himself. It must have been a very embarassing moment for the guide.

How can you let them die?

This title appeared recently in Straits Times. Bill Gates says the problem is complex. Here are some of my thoughts on the subject inspired from watching the movie "The Constant Gardener".

Set up an account for every individual who lives on a dollar or less a day. I shall call these individual accounts LTAD accounts, LTAD stands for Less Than a Dollar.

Each of these LTAD account will have a beginning credit of 100,000 points. Individuals who wish to donate say, $5000 will donate to the bank who will then credit a sum of $50 to each individual LTAD account randomly.

For each $50 given to a LTAD account, 5 points will be deducted. Priority will then be given to individual LTAD accounts with higher credit points. This means that those who have received some money paid into their LTAD accounts will have less priority than those who have not received or received less. Banks appointed to administer the LTAD funds will have a LTADD account. LTADD stands for Less Than a Dollar Distribution account.

Individuals who wish to donate can donate to this LTADD account. Any monies received in the LTADD account will redistribute the money to the LTAD accounts the following day. Verification officers and counter verification officers can be appointed to verify the authenticity of each of these LTAD accounts. Verification officers and Counter verification officers will be randomly paired together every year.

Do let me know what you think of this idea.

I did not receive my progress package

I followed the instructions set out in the progress package letter, but I did not receive my progress package. It seems that I have to make some other declarations which was not included in the progress package letter and so I have missed the progress package payment.


Boo-hoo-hoo

Work and Pay

Recently there has been much debate and publicity regarding pay and work. Who works the most?
Have you considered what a new mother with her new baby have to go through? A mother who has to breastfeed her new baby every one to two hours throughout the 24 hours, every day for 6 to 9 months. Do you know what she has to go through? For those new mothers who go back to work after the 3 months maternity leave, when they come back from work they still have to go through the next 6 months without continuous sleep to feed the baby throughout the night and go back to work the next morning. If you have experienced it you will understand why there are lesser and lesser babies.

How to improve bus travel time

Buses often find difficulty in coming out of bus stop bays due to ongoing traffic. This difficulty can be overcomed by drawing a box next to every bus stop bay to allow buses to have right of way. All vehicles when they see buses coming out of bus stop bays have to give way to buses.

Where to find cheaper rental rates in Singapore

I read recently that some foreigners are paying more than S$20,000 per month for rental of their homes. Here's a tip where you can get much cheaper rental rates - at Balestier Regency located in the Balestier region. The rental rates for a 3 + 1 room apartment at Balestier Regency is going for less than S$2,000 per month. It is located behind a shopping mall with theatre and is only a 5 mins drive from the American Club. Balestier is also centrally located in Singapore.

Have a happy stay here in Singapore.
Best wishes to one and all.

Bank Interest Rates

Why can't banks have the same interest rates for fixed deposits whether it be renewal or fresh funds? It is mind boggling to have different interest rates for the above 2 mentioned categories. Loyal customers do not wish to be given lesser interest rates than for fresh funds. Why are banks penalising their loyal customers? Don't make sense to me.

What I think most people like about the United States

What I think most people like about the United States is their education system, their movies (some of them, those with some educational content), their innovation e.g. American Idol (this represents discovery of new talents), Survivor series, Extreme Fear, National Geographic, Oprah Winfrey Show (women's and other issues are frankly discussed on this program), etc.

How Insurance Companies can improve their business

Here are some suggestions for insurance companies to improve their business. Insurance companies can improve their business by giving their clients free, or subsidised yearly checkups or requiring clients to go for yearly checkups for cheaper insurance premiums. Insurance companies that follow the health of their clients yearly will likely have lesser payouts than those who don't. Insurance companies can tie up with health products companies and introduce these to their clients and offer health seminars for free or discounted rates to their clients and hence ensure that their clients are having the best of products and information available to keep a healthy lifestyle. For people who suffer from high blood pressure, if they know how to monitor their blood pressure daily or regularly, they can prevent a heart attack or stroke and avoid being paralysed.

The way forward ...Friedman's way

In "the world is flat", Friedman attributes poverty to government policies which did not favour easy set up of business by individuals. According to him, if rules and regulations make it easy for individuals to set up business, this will enable individuals to create their own wealth.

Distance apart

Distance apart isn't as easy as when it is near.

Have you been to Changi beach or East Coast Park beaches recently?

Go take a drive to Changi Beach or East Coast Park Beach and see for yourself.....what has happened? .....guess many people have not been going there.

School drop outs

Is the education system designed to suit the child or is the child made to suit the education system?

Help Numbers

Will it be helpful to have help numbers printed at the back of exercise books, so that from young children will know what numbers to call when they need help. If they are desperate and need help, all they need to remember is that it is just a phone call away. Will this reduce the number of young delinquents? They will no longer have the excuse that they did not know where to seek help. The yellow ribbon project is a very good initiative to help prisoners rejoin society, but it may be a liitle too late. Why wait for people to commit crimes before help is offered?

Job Seeker Mentality

A job seek mentality limits rather than expands the economy. A job seeker waits for jobs to be created. Is there a fear that with more educated people more jobs need to be created? Yes. Is there a fear that with more educated people in other parts of the world, jobs will be taken away? Yes.

Where did I get my job seeker mentality?

Yes, I ask myself where I got the job seeker mentality and the answer is I got it from my mom. I remember when I was young my mother used to say to me, study hard so you can get a good job. I didn't even know what getting a good job meant at that tender age of seven. All I know is that I must get a job that will pay for the food on the table. I did not even know that different professions came with different pay scales.

So, what is a job seeker mentality?
A job seeker mentality is one who says to oneself, I need to look for a job and flips in the advertisements in the newspaper.

So where can I learn to have an inventor mind-set? An inventor is one who I see as really contributing to the wealth and development in the world. Of course, there is always the negative side.
