The Lees VS The Chees
2008-05-12 18:25:00 12 May 2008The Court hearing of the defamation case brought up by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew against Dr. Chee Soon Juan (Secretary-General of Singapore Democratic Party), Chee Siok Chin (Central Executive Committee Member of SDP) and the SDP starts today.PM, MM Lee had sued "Dr Chee Soon Juan and the party's leadership for repeating remarks alleging that they were corrupt and had covered up wrongdoings at the NKF."For the critics of the PAP regime, this case would again highlight the repression of Opposition Parties by defamation suits. Not too long ago, former Secretary-General of Workers' Party, Joshua Benjamin Jeyaratnam was bankrupted via a series of lawsuits. In Singapore, being a bankrupt automatically disqualifies one to stand for elections.For this defamation case, the worst case scenario would be that both Dr. Chee and Ms. Chee could be bankrupted. If SDP could not pay up the damages, it could also face the inevitable outcome of being ...

2008-01-29 15:47:00 John Cleese en el remake de "Ultimátum a la Tierra" y Marlene Forte en "Star Trek"Según cuentan en IGN Movies, un nuevo actor podría sumarse al reparto del remake de “Ultimátum a la Tierra”. El intérprete en cuestión sería el espléndido John Cleese, al que, sin embargo, estamos más acostumbrados a ver en papeles cómicos que otra cosa (“Diario de un ejecutivo agresivo”, “La vuelta al mundo en 80 días”). El personaje al que daría vida sería al del físico Dr. Barnhardt, un premio Nobel que tiene un papel fundamental a la hora de averiguar el porqué de la llegada del extraterrestre Klaatu a nuestro planeta (es obvio que no viene a pasar unas vacaciones). Entretanto, en Variety publican que Marlene Forte, una actriz que ha trabajado en capítulos sueltos de conocidísimas series de televisión (”Ley y orden”, “La juez Amy”, “Crossing Jordan”, “Nip/Tuck: A golpe de bisturí”, “CSI”, “CSI: Mi...

SocGen case rekindles memories of how Leeson downed Barings
2008-01-26 11:59:00 By Saeed Azhar SINGAPORE (Reuters) - It was deja vu for Singaporeans when French bank Societe Generale reported it had been defrauded of $7 billion by a rogue trader. The stocks derivatives scam in France reminded Singaporeans of their biggest corporate scandal more than a decade ago when Nick Leeson's risky stock futures trades in the city-state brought British Barings bank to its knees. SocGen accused the Paris-based trader of taking "massive fraudulent" positions on European equity market indices, leaving them nursing 4.9 billion euros of losses. The losses dwarfed the $1.4 billion loss made by Leeson betting on Japan's Nikkei 225 Futures then traded on the defunct Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX). There are many similarities in the two cases -- both dabbled in equity futures and both also knew how to skip the compliance and regulatory barriers. The difference is that SocGen will live to fight another day while Barings was relegated to the histo...

Lees take on Tans for $2b crown jewel - SIngapore
2008-01-25 00:16:00 Lees take on Tans for $2b crown jewel - SIngapore Two families, linked by history, vie for Straits Trading Co as Lees make a counter-bid By CONRAD RAJ (SINGAPORE) Two illustrious local business families, whose ties go way back, are pitted against each other in a bid to wrest control of one of the island’s oldest outfits: the Straits Trading Company (STC). Barely a fortnight after the family of the late banker Tan Chin Tuan made a general offer through The Cairns, a subsidiary of their holding company Tecity, the Lee family has come back with a slightly better counter-offer for the property and tin smelting company. The Lees, whose group of companies are the single largest shareholders in Straits Trading, have bid $5.76 a share compared to Tecity’s $5.70. Yesterday, Straits Trading closed unchanged at $5.71, giving it a market value of $2 billion. It sets the stage for an intriguing tussle between the Lee family and the family of their former employee Tan Chin Tuan, who m...

2008-01-20 14:42:00 To the citizens of the United States of America:In light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately. Her Sovereign Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories (excepting Kansas, which she does not fancy).Your new prime minister, Tony Blair, will appoint a governor for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium," and check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in wo...

Splitsville for John Cleese, third wife?
2008-01-10 09:35:00 Actor and comedian John Cleese and his third wife are on the verge of ending their marriage of 19 years, say reports. A pal of the couple said that the Cleese and Alyce Faye Eichelberger Cleese, an American-born psychotherapist, had decided that their relationship was at an end, but that there was no one else involved in the decision to separate. The split comes after the comedian is understood to have become ‘melancholy’ in recent months following sad demises of several close friends. "They just have felt that the relationship is not going to continue and I think they are very sad but fairly resolved about it,” The Telegraph quoted the pal, as saying. The couple both have children from previous marriages, but they had no children together. (ANI)

Vacuums Destory Flees!
2007-12-24 03:00:00 A recent article puts to rest the question of what happens to flees when they are vacuumed up! Experiments conducted by Ohio State University researchers on the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis)—the most common type of flee plaguing companion animals, such as dogs and cats, and humans—showed that vacuuming killed fleas in all stages of life.The stages of life of a flee aren't very appetizing: Fleas have multiple life stages- Adults suck the blood of their host and females lay eggs on them. The eggs roll off onto the floor, furniture or pet bedding and hatch two to 14 days later. The insects go through three larval stages, the last of which spins into a cocoon to protect the pupa stage. New adults typically emerge within a week or two.Click the link below for the full study, but the good news is, when it comes to flees, a vacuum really sucks!!!www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22-300344/

Amy Winehouse off to Jail Visit and flees london home
2007-12-05 22:32:00 (above - Amy off to visit her boyfriend in Jail)Amy Winehouse's spokesperson has released a statement claiming that a photograph of Winehouse with a bag containing white material, which appeared in the London Lite newspaper yesterday (December 5), contains hand towels as oppose to drugs.The newspaper printed pictures of a see-through bag containing white material in the boot of a car Winehouse had been driven in, as she transported items from her Camden flat to Bow, east London, where she is currently staying.The newspaper described the bag as "a rather suspicious bag of white stuff", possibly implying that it contained cocaine.Winehouse's spokesperson, however, has issued a statement denying the implication, stating: "In response to photos published in the London Lite of 'white stuff' in the back of the car in which Amy Winehouse was driven in, [the items in the bag] are in fact the driver's hand towels. Any implication or suggestion otherwise would be unfair."
It's official: Santa Claus («Kleeschen») is moving to Luxembourg!
2007-12-04 16:55:00 «At a meeting of EU finance ministers in the small but prosperous duchy, Luxembourg refused to agree to a lifting of the tax advantages that have prompted iTunes, Skype, eBay, Santa Claus and other big Internet companies to set up shop there. That effectively blocked the package, because adoption of tax measures requires unanimous agreement by all 27 EU members.Telecommunications companies, satellite broadcasters and other companies providing online services apply a value added, or sales, tax based on where the company is established, not where the customer is. That makes Luxembourg, where VAT on Internet-related sales is 15 percent, an attractive place to operate. In neighboring Germany, for example, the rate was raised to 19 percent this year.»Blogging in Luxembourg. In engrish.

New Construction Slammed As The World Flees USDollar
2007-10-18 01:56:00 Housing depression raises recession risk by CNN Money - 10/17/07 snips:Builders continued to slam the brakes on new homes in September, as the government's latest reading on the battered market Wednesday showed that housing starts and permits were weaker than expected and at levels not seen for more than a decade... It also raised the prospect that the Federal Reserve will have to go ahead with interest rate cuts in an effort to avert the U.S. economy from falling into a recession... The weak level of building suggests that housing is in an even deeper slowdown than originally expected, as the collapse in the mortgage market, falling home prices and an equally weak market for existing homes has dried up the supply of potential buyers... According to Bill Hampel, chief economist for the Credit Union National Association... "What I had always thought is that we would have a long, flat bottom for the housing market, but it is now apparent that the contraction is sharper than that,"...
