The government of Singapore has already come out saying through the public media that technical recession has occured. Technical recession does not necessary imply all out recession.
Where? Recession in Singapore or the world?

Corporate failures will follow bank failures. The first may happen any time soon.

WHAT SO TECHNICAL ABOUT A RECESSION? When you have a recession, it is a recession. people in he streets are out of jobs, and business are suffering. No point talk cock.
CUt ministers pay, do away with ERP, and reduce GST. If they do that, I am sure the economy recover very fast.
Restaurants have been suffering for the past 3 years. Don't be fool be the crowded scenes on weekends. The restaurant business in Singapore is dead.Because more can't afford restaurant food?
Anyway, if recession, your foodcourt biz should improve. Focus on economy rice
I think you have got it wrong, it should be as follows:
Cut your CPF and the year end bonus, do away with increment, increase GST to help the poor.
As for the percentage, I leave it to one's imagination......
Pappies have raised the population by a million but failed to create an internal robust economy as these new migrants are just here to milk the cash cow and not spend hence poor profits at restaurants and new retail outlets.

You got it right. I have head complaints from hawkers that China FTs bring their own food, and not go to hawkers for food.
I was travelling along the roads of AYE to CTE this afternoon after visiting a friend's relative funeral wake. Notice that there were rows and rows of uncompleted condo's along the AYE, similarly on the CTE, there was huge blocks of uncompleted condo's along the Newton areas too. If the recession moves in, or already in, was wondering what would happened to those condo's or those people that have committed during the Golden period. Doesn't looks good to me moving forward.
Actually it doesn't matter to the individual at both ends of the scale whether there is a recession or not.
Do you think the minister's lifestyle is affected by a recession? Do you think the old man collecting garbage is affected by the recession?
Unfortunately, it's the general well being of all those in between that is reduced.
Hence the minister should donate some of his wealth to support the really poor.
Recession will happen worldwide. But how much will the impact affect each and every country. There are many countries going to be heavily impact more than Singapore.
Malaysia, Thailand, USA
Malaysia and Thailand, both have unstable governments and it will take a while before they structure the economy. Meanwhile they have a lot of inner fighting among them. So by the time they fight finish, which don't know when, they would absorb a lot of impact as they spend their time fighting instead of thinking of solutions.
USA is just another arse where they are busy topping up their pitholes with sand. All the problems are created by them. Oil issues, subprime are all just idiotic issues they created
You are speaking in a political tone. The countries you have mention have got plenty of resources and thus provide an A1 quality of life. If Thailand were to ease immigration laws, sinkees would camp outside their embasy in droves to emigrate there even though the thai gov are not sound.
How well the recession will be handled depends on your government. Which country never experienced recession? The way some of you talk is as though Singapore is the only country experiencing recession. Take your binoculars and look further and you will see many others are no better.
How much can this impact be soften, depends on what kind of measures being taken place?
A lot of the sinkees you mentioned want to emigrate Thailand because of the sex and the girls. So don't come and say they want emigrate because of plenty of resources. Utter rubbish. :o
