US puts burden on the entire world – PutinAmerica's possible default has resonated far and wide. Russia's prime minister says that the current deal struck by US lawmakers will not solve the underlying issues.Vladimir Putin believes that raising the ceiling yet again only signals delay in tackling inevitable problems. “Actually, there's nothing good about it. It’s just postponed making more systematic decisions,” Putin said. The PM stressed that in doing so the US is putting pressure on the global finance system. “This colossal debt, 14 trillion or more, means that the country has been living on credit, which is really bad for one of the world’s leading economies. They live beyond their means, and put a part of their burden on the entire world’s economy,” Putin added.The way out, Putin believes, is in varying the existing currency system. “To some extent, they sponge on the world’s economy and on their monopolistic dollar position. Other reserve currencies should show up in the world, not just the dollar, and that the euro should be consolidated,” Putin said. “Asia should come up with regional reserve currencies. The ruble can become a regional reserve currency,” the PM added.
Putin criticize the US on one hand BUT invests even more in the Dollar. By the way Russia had "the hat in their hand" for a US handout after the collapse of the Soviet Union to help rebuilt Russia..... Ironic isn't it.....

Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) Ismail Ibrahim said early next month, 100 senior government officials and business leaders from Wenzhou Province, China, will visit Iskandar Malaysia to explore trade and investment opportunities.

Wenzhou folks are some of the most screwed business people in china. They are responsible to buy up the properties in various big cities of the world.. Let's see how things turn up..

Hi lastresort

i heard bout this issue as welll n i'm quite bothered about this. I really hope more can be done. I see people in the advisory commitee but what is their role? Who is really gonna help i wonder. I wonder if HH is understaffed.



QUOTE=lastresort;799012]I have to agree, though I like HH environment but I am disappointed with HH maintenance and the security level seems to be dropping. They don't clean up or sweep certain parts of the gateway precinct, esp those areas where people don't normally see. I notice many corners full of litters. They don't trim the grass evenly, and the landscape is not well maintained. They used to disallow renovation works on late Sunday, but now they just let those people in. Some guards are also seen sleeping under the checkpoint umbrellas. Patrols on bikes are less frequent these days.

Also we have been complaining week after week to get the defects rectified. Warranty is ending this month, but they are not following up on anything.[/QUOTE]

Same, we encountered this year. Near the circle round about. Skinny malay chap. Few mths ago. Ask me why i singaporean yet i dun noe where police station is. Owner restaurant came out n he walk away quiclky.


I encountered a Malay guy who said he lost eveything and could not go back to Singapore, at Jusco Bkt Indah, asked me whether he should report to police. That was 2.5 years back. *Amazingly* he lost everything but had a Singapore pink NRIC to show me. Must have pickpockected or picked up somewhere. I offered to drive him to the police station... and he started speaking incoherently before walking off.

Sometime back, I visited quite a number of developments around JB. Most of which were mentioned here in this thread. Filled with curiosity, I embarked on my own odyssey.

For those who have not been acquainted with any JB developments, you will find some photos of EL and ST here.

Hope there are those who find this helpful. :smile:

Just fyi, this weekend's Edge Singapore's cover page is on Iskandar, entitled "Northern Exposure"

http://www.theedgesingapore.com/component/content/article/1119/32058-main-cov.html

"Malaysia’s massive development initiative in south Johor is about to take off, with several projects due for completion in the next two years. Why have investors from Singapore not participated in the boom? Is it too late to get in now? Issue 486 of The Edge Singapore is on sale at newstands and on Singtel's iPad2...."



In summary, an optimistic article that acknowledges the negatives but credits the authorities with the comprehensive well-thought out initiatives that they call "catalytic projects" and how they will all come together to complement Singapore instead of compete - Pinewood, Legoland, Johor Premium Outlet, The Hospitals - Columbia, Gleneagles etc. Even a top talent police chief of Malaysia has been moved to Iskandar. This article will trigger an even more serious wave of interest as is acknowledged positively by the most influential business periodical in Singapore. I enjoyed reading it this morning.

White...

The white long one....

The raddish leaves have health benefits..

Think about 7 weeks

My mum dun wanna wait.... Scared it may rot with rains or the leaves dry under the blazing sun.

So she pulled it out in 4.5 weeks

If had waited longer would have been even nicer n longer..



Your radish is green or white? Second harvest in how many months?
