Horizon minorities say sale done in bad faith - Singapore
2008-03-19 22:45:00 Horizon minorities say sale done in bad faith - Singapore By MICHELLE QUAH The minority owners of Horizon Towers say the collective sale of the development was conducted in bad faith because the sales committee did not seek the best price. This was the case they put forward yesterday on the opening day of their appeal against a decision by the Strata Title Board (STB) on Dec 7 last year to approve the en bloc sale of Horizon Towers. Some of their arguments were already presented at the STB hearings but the minority owners felt the need to bring them up again as they believe they did not get a fair hearing when the sale was adjudicated by STB last year. The group of minority owners, represented by Harry Elias Partnership, dwelt heavily yesterday on their claim that the Horizon Towers sales committee deliberately ignored an offer from a Hong Kong developer that was higher than the $500 million offered, and eventually paid, by Hotel Properties Ltd and its partners. The minorities say a...

Unusually, he not only got my joke but laughed at it."Never mind the missing 'n', we should just drop the 'e'," he then said. So of course I told him not to be ethicist.Words, eh?

Republicans ignore minorities at their peril-PBS debate
2007-09-29 09:09:00 About the PBS "minority" Republican debate: Even if you write off the minority vote (dumb), there are millions of independents and Republicans who will be off-put by the candidates' ignoring of legitimate voting blocks. In other words, when Republicans solicit minority votes, they may not get minority votes, but they'll get those of moderates who believe strongly in race reconcilliation. Frankly, it just looks good. If nothing else, skipping these special-interest debates looks cowardly. Really, what are Republicans afraid of? I don't want to believe that white Republicans would be offended (I'd switch; honestly). Tough questions? How about answering them? Unless they're evil like NAMBLA, politicians need to reach out to Americans however these CITIZENS wish to organize themselves. If the candidates think that Americans shouldn't group themselves by race, they should go and tell them. When the Republicans attend some of these things after taking enough heat, they'll look ...

How Minorities Can Get A Fair Mortgage Quote Online

Is it fair to offer someone with 'fair' credit one of the industry's creative mortgages like the ARM. The ARM, adjustable rate mortgage, begins with an interest rate that may be lower than what's being offered on traditional 30yr mortgages. This helps a lot of lower income and minorities get the opportunity to become home owners. The problem comes in when the introductory rate ends and the mortgage is then readjusted to new rates.
