&lt;p&gt;The June sock-puppets&amp;nbsp;seems to be rabidly replicating

helplessly&amp;nbsp;struggling to redeem a poorly planned adventure -
which is&amp;nbsp;based on some false and untenable political
idiot-logy learnt erroneously by bastardising the facts in some

As usual, what can one expect from a village idiot like you Atobe?
If you refuse to learn but continue to talk rubbish and heap
insults, it is your loss, not mine. Have fun back your rubbish
bin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Hahahaha.... the Great Mentor
Shepherd will love to see the Hunter turned into a Prey.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Has the DeerHunter become a meek
deer ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Tsk,tsk,tsk,tsk... resorting to
insults will get you no where when you are playing to your larger
audience in this Speakers' Corner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Are you not ashamed at being
trounced by one whom you will disrespectfully call a Village idiot
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;How ironical that you cannot even
protect your political idiot-logy with your over glorifed claim
as&amp;nbsp;a DeerHunter with a wimp gun ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;The $27 gargabe bin is waiting and
will provide your the warmth to sulk and regain your composure to
respond to the other threads that you have left, and attempt to
plagiarise my style and words - {that you claim to be half-baked}
-&amp;nbsp;to attack others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

to reinforce a weak position.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have conveniently forgotten that
China's population is not your Population of 1, and if you can get
a bulk discount for purchasing 3 chairs - why did you not include
any bulk discounts demanded by China for the bulk purchase of the

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Your example is only&amp;nbsp;an
analogy of a&amp;nbsp;perfect market that only exist in your own
fantasy to reinforce a juvenile view of a tougher&amp;nbsp;business
world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can you be the only person
manufacturing the table, when China has the ability to make chairs
- do you think they cannot make the table any better than you
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Why will Indonesia or Australia
purchase from you when they can make direct purchase and&amp;nbsp;other
deals&amp;nbsp;direct with&amp;nbsp;China - and with the&amp;nbsp;types

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you conveniently forgotten
the evolution of mankind before the complexities of&amp;nbsp;trade was
even known ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Now that you have displayed your
vanity in a hollow fantasy of a perfect world, do you know the
costs of inventories of raw materials and finished products before
orders are confirmed and the distribution is effected ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you considered the high costs
of land and labor&amp;nbsp;in Singapore - as well the other factors of
competition from cheaper alternative sources available to China
that will give them room to negotiate and drive your prices even
lower&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Is it not simply BS that the bank
will provide the capital to any start-up ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Was CSJ given the political space
even to make his moves without LKY claiming that damages for his
own self-inflicted injury to his pride and ego ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can LKY have the idiocy of a
DeerHunter to develop such a&amp;nbsp;business model that is based on
pure fantasy ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Was this the cause for the failure
of the&amp;nbsp;Suzhou Industrial Park - and over-assumption of the
perfect business model that fell apart simply due to over-reaching
oneself ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;How conceited a
DeerHunter&amp;nbsp;can you be to believe that the poor are never a
target market to earn money from ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Where were you on August 2007,
when it was reported that a Mexican by the name of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=
"http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/03/news/international/carlosslim.fortune/"
rel="nofollow"&gt;&#8216;Carlos Slim &#8211; son of a Mexican storekeeper - is the
World Richest Person&#8217; -&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;and his
captive markets were the poorer Mexicans than the northern gringos
in the USA ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;The only thing that people need
-&amp;nbsp;in good or bad times - is food, as it is the single and most
important&amp;nbsp;resource for one's survival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can global&amp;nbsp;trade continue
when the world is in recession - as in a Global Meltdown similar to
the World Depression in the early 1900s ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Do you know how your grand-parents
and parents&amp;nbsp;survived during the Great Depression before WW-1;
and the conditions&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;caused the&amp;nbsp;Global Trade to
suffer during WW-2 ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Surely you&amp;nbsp;do not expect your
audience to&amp;nbsp;have minds that think like&amp;nbsp;a Deer, and
waiting blindly to get shock by an impotent flashy&amp;nbsp;DeerHunter
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Are you still&amp;nbsp;disputing my
stated position with your lame understanding of the Global Trade
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you conveniently mixed up
your &lt;strong&gt;Bilateral Trade&lt;/strong&gt; with the &lt;strong&gt;Entrepot
Trade&lt;/strong&gt; in your fantasy analogy of an ideal Global Trade
environment&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Incidentally, do you expect anyone
to know what your ''prize'' is for the various car makes that you
have brilliantly given that is causing further opportunities to
castrate you with&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Do you seriously&amp;nbsp;expect
anyone to understand&amp;nbsp;the workings of&amp;nbsp;a retarded
DeerHunter's mind when&amp;nbsp;reading&amp;nbsp;your ''Prize''&amp;nbsp;as
stated by you -&amp;nbsp;when you did not even make clear which
currency or source of your&amp;nbsp;article that you have depended for
your argument ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Thank God for only one foolish
DeerHunter - so if you wish to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Will you be honest enough to
be impartial again, and perhaps even attempt to get a free
subscription to read the continuing details of this
work&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&amp;lt;!-- google_ad_section_end (name=s1)

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Singapore's key exports down 10.5% in May on-year&lt;br /&gt;
Posted: 17 June 2008 1528 hrs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SINGAPORE - Singapore's key exports fell 10.5 percent in May
compared with a year earlier, with pharmaceutical shipments down
nearly half amid lower exports to the United States and Europe, the
government said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fall in non-oil domestic exports (NODX) was the largest
since December 2006 when they dropped 14 percent, Fortis Bank
economist Joseph Tan told Dow Jones Newswires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NODX fell in May after a 5.3 percent gain in April, said the
trade promotion body, International Enterprise (IE) Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, NODX dropped 9.8
percent last month, compared with a gain of 1.6 percent in April,
it said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That fall was much greater than the 0.4 percent drop forecast in
a poll of economists by Dow Jones Newswires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The degree of weakness (for Singapore) is pretty striking,"
Robert Prior-Wandesforde, an economist at HSBC in Singapore, said.
"Most other countries in Asia have seen exports pick up over the
last few months."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IE Singapore said NODX to the European Union dropped 28.0
percent year-on-year in May after a 16.8 percent rise the previous
month, while shipments to the United States fell 22.3 percent,
exceeding the 16.9 percent drop in April.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore's export-reliant economy grew slower than estimated in
the year's first quarter, at 6.7 percent, as demand weakened due to
a slowdown in the United States and other key markets, the
government said last month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The country's de facto central bank in April said it had further
tightened monetary policy in a bid to address a sharp rise in
inflation. The bank's move sent the local dollar to record highs,
making exports more costly for buyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monthly NODX figures are a closely watched barometer of the
health of Singapore's economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Non-electronic shipments shrank by 11.8 percent, led by
pharmaceuticals, which dropped 48.5 percent compared with the same
month a year earlier, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Domestic exports of electronic goods continued the decline
started in February last year with a further shrinkage of 8.5
percent overall. The consumer electronics segment was down 30.6
percent, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"With the harsh reality of a US-led slowdown in demand weighing
on export performance, the manufacturing sector will need to brace
itself for the difficult times ahead," DBS Group Research said
ahead of the data release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Total trade rose 15.6 percent to S$78.6 billion, compared with
21.2 percent growth in April, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government of Singapore, Southeast Asia's most advanced
economy, has stuck to its full-year GDP growth estimate of four to
six percent. - AFP/ir&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought that was a bigger number than expected.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;China Singapore Bilateral Trade made simple:-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post is for the benefit of readers to discern facts from
half truths and lies. Simple analogies would be used for simpler
understanding, for village idiots like Atobe still exists in
Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Only a DeerHunter will
attempt&amp;nbsp;unlicensed buskering acts&amp;nbsp;in this Speakers'
Corner, with a&amp;nbsp;never failing efforts to hustle public opinions
to reinforce a weak position.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.Imports and Exports&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A. ) Exports to China:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I purchase materials, made a&amp;nbsp;table and exported it to
China. China pays me S$43 dollars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B.) Import from China:-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I saw online China had 3 chairs to sell. I don't need 3 chairs,
as i am only 1 person, but there is a bulk discount if i buy all 3.
So I paid S$48 dollars for all 3 chairs. I kept 1 and sold the
other 2 to Indonesia and Australia, countries further away at a
slightly higher price&amp;nbsp;from me for a profit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On paper, it looks like I paid $5 more than i buy from China.
But in actual fact, i didn't, for i don't need so many chairs as i
am only a population of 1. I sold the other 2 China chair and made
a small profit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multiply those chair a billion times and you will see how
important bilateral trade with the factory of the world is to our
entreport country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have conveniently forgotten that
China's population is not your Population of 1, and if you can get
a bulk discount for purchasing 3 chairs - why did you not include
any bulk discounts demanded by China for the bulk purchase of the
tables that you produce ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Your example is only&amp;nbsp;an
analogy of a&amp;nbsp;perfect market that only exist in your own
fantasy to reinforce a juvenile view of a tougher&amp;nbsp;business
world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can you be the only person
manufacturing the table, when China has the ability to make chairs
- do you think they cannot make the table any better than you
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Why will Indonesia or Australia
purchase from you when they can make direct purchase and&amp;nbsp;other
deals&amp;nbsp;direct with&amp;nbsp;China - and with the&amp;nbsp;types
of&amp;nbsp;commodities needed by China&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;China will
surely desire&amp;nbsp;without going through another layer in the
distribution chain of&amp;nbsp;middle-men like you ?&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B. Service and support for trade&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make those table, i would need wood, glue, nails, tools,
varnish, banks to give me capital, factory space, exports agents,
etc. These are the organisations that facilitate my trade. They
gain as well, for i have to pay for such services, which i will
include into my costings for the S$43 table i sold to China.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now multiply the level of support for my trade in billions and
you will see how much it had benefitted the supporting industries.
IF there is no China trade, factory of the world,&amp;nbsp;can you
imagine how many people would be out of job?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Do you think that the World
revolves around the Middle Kingdom only ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you conveniently forgotten
the evolution of mankind before the complexities of&amp;nbsp;trade was
even known ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Now that you have displayed your
vanity in a hollow fantasy of a perfect world, do you know the
costs of inventories of raw materials and finished products before
orders are confirmed and the distribution is effected ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you considered the high costs
of land and labor&amp;nbsp;in Singapore - as well the other factors of
competition from cheaper alternative sources available to China
that will give them room to negotiate and drive your prices even
lower&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Is it not simply BS that the bank
will provide the capital to any start-up ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this businessmodel is what the govt is attempting to
replicate in modern Russia. What had CSJ and the political
opposition done except to waste time, cast slander
and&amp;nbsp;maligned the honour of our super salesmen who are scouting
the world for&amp;nbsp;opportunites for us citizens so that we
can&amp;nbsp;put food on the table for our kids&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Was CSJ given the political space
even to make his moves without LKY claiming that damages for his
own self-inflicted injury to his pride and ego ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can LKY have the idiocy of a
DeerHunter to develop such a&amp;nbsp;business model that is based on
pure fantasy ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Was this the cause for the failure
of the&amp;nbsp;Suzhou Industrial Park - and over-assumption of the
perfect business model that fell apart simply due to over-reaching
oneself ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No matter how high or low the volume of trade becomes even in
recession times, there will always be trade, for there will always
be something people will need and people will produce. No country
is self-sufficient, except the poor. But then they are never a
target market to earn money from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;How conceited a
DeerHunter&amp;nbsp;can you be to believe that the poor are never a
target market to earn money from ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Where were you on August 2007,
when it was reported that a Mexican by the name of&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href=
"http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/03/news/international/carlosslim.fortune/"
rel="nofollow"&gt;&#8216;Carlos Slim &#8211; son of a Mexican storekeeper - is the
World Richest Person&#8217; -&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;and his
captive markets were the poorer Mexicans than the northern gringos
in the USA ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;The only thing that people need
-&amp;nbsp;in good or bad times - is food, as it is the single and most
important&amp;nbsp;resource for one's survival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Can global&amp;nbsp;trade continue
when the world is in recession - as in a Global Meltdown similar to
the World Depression in the early 1900s ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Do you know how your grand-parents
and parents&amp;nbsp;survived during the Great Depression before WW-1;
and the conditions&amp;nbsp;that&amp;nbsp;caused the&amp;nbsp;Global Trade to
suffer during WW-2 ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;27 billion both ways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When one chat with another person on prize of cars, one would
usually give general views, eg: around $30k for Chinese makes, $50k
for korean makes, $70k for japanese makes and above $100k for
european models even when there are variations in between.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is only when one goes into specifics, such as type, engine
capacity, fuel consumption, etcs, does one give a better
accounting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mention of $27 billion (international trade currency is in US
dollars)&amp;nbsp;both ways meant&amp;nbsp; around S$40 billion ( dec 07
rate)&amp;nbsp;each for China and for Singapore.&amp;nbsp;It was only a
general figure to give the size of trade, for example if it was
Korea, it would be&amp;nbsp;(US)$10&amp;nbsp;billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Atobe stupidly use this general figure to prove her further
ignorance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Idiocy from Atobe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can&amp;nbsp;Singapore's bilateral trade with China be considered
healthy when China exports more to Singapore than it does importing
Singapore&amp;nbsp;manufactured goods ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With China's main market also tied to the US market - as also
with every major countries on earth, let alone Singapore - do you
think that China&amp;nbsp;can be&amp;nbsp;immune to any recession in the
USA ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can Singapore depend on China's economy when it imports less
than what it sells to Singapore ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Was
it not your own grand idea in attempting to project China as an
engine for Singapore's continued economic growth
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;And
much more astounding stupidity only an ignorant idiot Atobe can
contribute for your reading pleasure&amp;nbsp;with the past
pages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Surely you&amp;nbsp;do not expect your
audience to&amp;nbsp;have minds that think like&amp;nbsp;a Deer, and
waiting blindly to get shock by an impotent flashy&amp;nbsp;DeerHunter
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Are you still&amp;nbsp;disputing my
stated position with your lame understanding of the Global Trade
?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Have you conveniently mixed up
your &lt;strong&gt;Bilateral Trade&lt;/strong&gt; with the &lt;strong&gt;Entrepot
Trade&lt;/strong&gt; in your fantasy analogy of an ideal Global Trade
environment&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Incidentally, do you expect anyone
to know what your ''prize'' is for the various car makes that you
have brilliantly given that is causing further opportunities to
castrate you with&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Do you seriously&amp;nbsp;expect
anyone to understand&amp;nbsp;the workings of&amp;nbsp;a retarded
DeerHunter's mind when&amp;nbsp;reading&amp;nbsp;your ''Prize''&amp;nbsp;as
stated by you -&amp;nbsp;when you did not even make clear which
currency or source of your&amp;nbsp;article that you have depended for
your argument ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff;"&gt;Thank God for only one foolish
DeerHunter - so if you wish to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This article analyses the issue of differences in the
measurement of international trade flows at a bilateral level in
the context of Singapore. Using the Trade Difference (TD) Statistic
a la Blades and Ivanov (1985), &lt;span style=
"text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;discrepancies in reported
international trade data for Singapore's trade with some important
trading partners have been analysed&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The analysis suggests that the bilateral trade data of highly
trade-oriented economies like Singapore needs to be interpreted
carefully, and there is a need to separate out &lt;strong&gt;Singapore's
entrepot trade function &lt;span style=

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Singapore's key exports down 10.5% in May on-year&lt;br /&gt;
Posted: 17 June 2008 1528 hrs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SINGAPORE - Singapore's key exports fell 10.5 percent in May
compared with a year earlier, with pharmaceutical shipments down
nearly half amid lower exports to the United States and Europe, the
government said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fall in non-oil domestic exports (NODX) was the largest
since December 2006 when they dropped 14 percent, Fortis Bank
economist Joseph Tan told Dow Jones Newswires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NODX fell in May after a 5.3 percent gain in April, said the
trade promotion body, International Enterprise (IE) Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a month-on-month seasonally adjusted basis, NODX dropped 9.8
percent last month, compared with a gain of 1.6 percent in April,
it said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That fall was much greater than the 0.4 percent drop forecast in
a poll of economists by Dow Jones Newswires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"The degree of weakness (for Singapore) is pretty striking,"
Robert Prior-Wandesforde, an economist at HSBC in Singapore, said.
"Most other countries in Asia have seen exports pick up over the
last few months."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IE Singapore said NODX to the European Union dropped 28.0
percent year-on-year in May after a 16.8 percent rise the previous
month, while shipments to the United States fell 22.3 percent,
exceeding the 16.9 percent drop in April.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore's export-reliant economy grew slower than estimated in
the year's first quarter, at 6.7 percent, as demand weakened due to
a slowdown in the United States and other key markets, the
government said last month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The country's de facto central bank in April said it had further
tightened monetary policy in a bid to address a sharp rise in
inflation. The bank's move sent the local dollar to record highs,
making exports more costly for buyers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Monthly NODX figures are a closely watched barometer of the
health of Singapore's economy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Non-electronic shipments shrank by 11.8 percent, led by
pharmaceuticals, which dropped 48.5 percent compared with the same
month a year earlier, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Domestic exports of electronic goods continued the decline
started in February last year with a further shrinkage of 8.5
percent overall. The consumer electronics segment was down 30.6
percent, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"With the harsh reality of a US-led slowdown in demand weighing
on export performance, the manufacturing sector will need to brace
itself for the difficult times ahead," DBS Group Research said
ahead of the data release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Total trade rose 15.6 percent to S$78.6 billion, compared with
21.2 percent growth in April, IE Singapore said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The government of Singapore, Southeast Asia's most advanced
economy, has stuck to its full-year GDP growth estimate of four to
six percent. - AFP/ir&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;we can all see that, obviously he has very shallow views on
subject matters like this,&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;him&amp;nbsp;trade has to be a
win-lose situation, failing to see the wider, wholesome
picture.......we can gain insight into the man by
reading&amp;nbsp;his&amp;nbsp;postings&amp;nbsp;and the comical way he argues
without any reliable&amp;nbsp;references. ....afterall these have been
the pathectic state of critics here, a lot of self views,
distortion of&amp;nbsp;facts but with&amp;nbsp;little&amp;nbsp;references of
credibility (wish they can let us refer to some credible sources in
their postings to back up)......just take all these as the
enchanting bedtime stories by some illusionists lah&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;China Singapore Bilateral Trade made simple:-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This post is for the benefit of readers to discern facts from
half truths and lies. Simple analogies would be used for simpler
understanding, for village idiots like Atobe still exists in
Singapore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.Imports and Exports&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;----------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A. ) Exports to China:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I purchase materials, made a&amp;nbsp;table and exported it to
China. China pays me S$43 dollars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B.) Import from China:-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I saw online China had 3 chairs to sell. I don't need 3 chairs,
as i am only 1 person, but there is a bulk discount if i buy all 3.
So I paid S$48 dollars for all 3 chairs. I kept 1 and sold the
other 2 to Indonesia and Australia, countries further away at a
slightly higher price&amp;nbsp;from me for a profit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On paper, it looks like I paid $5 more than i buy from China.
But in actual fact, i didn't, for i don't need so many chairs as i
am only a population of 1. I sold the other 2 China chair and made
a small profit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multiply those chair a billion times and you will see how
important bilateral trade with the factory of the world is to our
entreport country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B. Service and support for trade&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To make those table, i would need wood, glue, nails, tools,
varnish, banks to give me capital, factory space, exports agents,
etc. These are the organisations that facilitate my trade. They
gain as well, for i have to pay for such services, which i will
include into my costings for the S$43 table i sold to China.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now multiply the level of support for my trade in billions and
you will see how much it had benefitted the supporting industries.
IF there is no China trade, factory of the world,&amp;nbsp;can you
imagine how many people would be out of job?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And this businessmodel is what the govt is attempting to
replicate in modern Russia. What had CSJ and the political
opposition done except to waste time, cast slander
and&amp;nbsp;maligned the honour of our super salesmen who are scouting
the world for&amp;nbsp;opportunites for us citizens so that we
can&amp;nbsp;put food on the table for our kids?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No matter how high or low the volume of trade becomes even in
recession times, there will always be trade, for there will always
be something people will need and people will produce. No country
is self-sufficient, except the poor. But then they are never a
target market to earn money from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;27 billion both ways&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When one chat with another person on prize of cars, one would
usually give general views, eg: around $30k for Chinese makes, $50k
for korean makes, $70k for japanese makes and above $100k for
european models even when there are variations in between.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is only when one goes into specifics, such as type, engine
capacity, fuel consumption, etcs, does one give a better
accounting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My mention of $27 billion (international trade currency is in US
dollars)&amp;nbsp;both ways meant&amp;nbsp; around S$40 billion ( dec 07
rate)&amp;nbsp;each for China and for Singapore.&amp;nbsp;It was only a
general figure to give the size of trade, for example if it was
Korea, it would be&amp;nbsp;(US)$10&amp;nbsp;billion.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But Atobe stupidly use this general figure to prove her further
ignorance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Idiocy from Atobe&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can&amp;nbsp;Singapore's bilateral trade with China be considered
healthy when China exports more to Singapore than it does importing
Singapore&amp;nbsp;manufactured goods ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With China's main market also tied to the US market - as also

still negative, however please note that about 40% of&amp;nbsp;the
goods we&amp;nbsp;import from China&amp;nbsp;are re-exported.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="quote_body"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has the DeerHunter woke up to a bad Sunday, and dreamed that he
had debunked my arguments ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can try harder at convincing yourself but you still cannot
get over those very expensive straws&amp;nbsp;-
which&amp;nbsp;you&amp;nbsp;depended on so&amp;nbsp;overwhelmingly&amp;nbsp;to
build up your lame arguments that got you embarrassed time and
again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The straws that you claimed that I have grabbed were worth a
dubious sum of&amp;nbsp;US$27 Billion according to your rough estimate
about the China-Singapore Trade - BOTH WAYS, how did you debunked
what economic theories that you claimed exist in my replies to you
?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only&amp;nbsp;a DeerHunter&amp;nbsp;can be deluded and not able to see
an object that&amp;nbsp;he had so expertly over inflated, and you claim
that you can appreciate my ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should it not be the truth that you envy
the&amp;nbsp;confidence&amp;nbsp;with simple logic in&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;position
taken that had your arguments demolished time and time again - and
you can only depend as your last rebuttal that it is all about my
ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If that is the case, what is driving your efforts to return when
you have nothing else to offer, and only to receive more bruising
hits for your infantile stupidity in nursing a bruised and
deflated&amp;nbsp;ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The $27 garbage bin was a product of your bankrupt imagination,
and you are most welcome to keep an overprice product to be used to
hide your sore feelings; and if you feel that you do not want to be
''embarrass to be arguing with a fool'' - what could be driving you
back again, and again ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it more then a bruised ego, or simply a DeerHunter that is
impotent at performing anything of substance - let alone being a
true hunter ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Again you talk rubbish. Instead of backing up your claims with
facts to support your lack of knowledge in economics, you use
insults to futher your ownstupidity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thus is there a need to discuss with you further, more so with
one like you whose only facts are slander, scorn, mocks, slur and
taunts instead of intelligence? Your only claim to&amp;nbsp; rabid
notoriety are ridiculous attempts to humilate and revile others
whom are rational and&amp;nbsp;thinks differently from you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Continue with your thrash. It suits me well that you do so, so
that readers of this forum may know your kind well and what
grid-locking and time wasting opposition politics will be like,
with rabid imbecile hypocrites&amp;nbsp;of the likes such
as&amp;nbsp;you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Either that, or crawl quietly back to your rubbish bin where you
belong, and no&amp;nbsp; one will say you are dumb.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So you wish to re-open your various economic theories that was
thoroughly debunked by me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, as i had mentioned, I have no wish to argue with a fool that
you truly are. Let others follow the thread and read what had been
posted. What they believe is no concern of mine, except the truth
must be told.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The problem with you is that you love to grab at straws to prove
your over-inflated deluded ego. I will allow that, for others will
be able to discern.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As far as i am concerned, you belong to the rubbish bin. Stay
there and learn economics from your bin before you even attempt to
figure out your own expenses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has the DeerHunter woke up to a bad Sunday, and dreamed that he
had debunked my arguments ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can try harder at convincing yourself but you still cannot
get over those very expensive straws&amp;nbsp;-
which&amp;nbsp;you&amp;nbsp;depended on so&amp;nbsp;overwhelmingly&amp;nbsp;to
build up your lame arguments that got you embarrassed time and
again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The straws that you claimed that I have grabbed were worth a
dubious sum of&amp;nbsp;US$27 Billion according to your rough estimate
about the China-Singapore Trade - BOTH WAYS, how did you debunked
what economic theories that you claimed exist in my replies to you
?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Only&amp;nbsp;a DeerHunter&amp;nbsp;can be deluded and not able to see
an object that&amp;nbsp;he had so expertly over inflated, and you claim
that you can appreciate my ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Should it not be the truth that you envy
the&amp;nbsp;confidence&amp;nbsp;with simple logic in&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;position
taken that had your arguments demolished time and time again - and
you can only depend as your last rebuttal that it is all about my
ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If that is the case, what is driving your efforts to return when
you have nothing else to offer, and only to receive more bruising
hits for your infantile stupidity in nursing a bruised and
deflated&amp;nbsp;ego ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The $27 garbage bin was a product of your bankrupt imagination,
and you are most welcome to keep an overprice product to be used to
hide your sore feelings; and if you feel that you do not want to be
''embarrass to be arguing with a fool'' - what could be driving you
back again, and again ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it more then a bruised ego, or simply a DeerHunter that is
impotent at performing anything of substance - let alone being a
true hunter ?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

No use trying to shoo the attention that you have been seeking to

&lt;p&gt;Have you also decided to identify the $27 Billion trade between
China-Singapore in US Dollars ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If we were to believe your numbers from your given
'singstat.gov'&amp;nbsp;- Singapore&amp;nbsp;Export to China&amp;nbsp;was
&lt;strong&gt;S$43,549.5 Million&lt;/strong&gt;;&amp;nbsp;while&amp;nbsp;Singapore's
Import from China was &lt;strong&gt;S$48.013.4 Million&lt;/strong&gt; - and
taking an exchange rate of &lt;strong&gt;USD1.00 to SGD 1.48&lt;/strong&gt; as
at end-2007 : both numbers hardly come any where near your
&lt;strong&gt;US$27 Billion&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What exchange rate were you using in making your estimate to
conclude that the China-Singapore Trade - BOTH WAYS had amounted to
US$27 Billion ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you need the Hubble Telescope to improve your DeerHunting

&lt;p&gt;It is Sunday, and Hubble is probably available for your efforts

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Actually I think gazelle is kinda sad now, he must be really
frazzled trying to switch inbetween multiple accounts thinking it
actually makes it look like he has more support then he has, but
unfortuntately it's fooling nobody.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The funnier part is that he even tries to speak out in support
of himself, but only manages to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To&amp;nbsp;paraphrase a fictional persona, "his only

Hello Clone, Have you given up on your $27 Billion Trade between
China-Singapore - BOTH WAYS - and now proposing to bunk it into a
$27 garbage bin ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Surely Sesame Street need not pay for such an expensive bin even
for&amp;nbsp;a budget kids' show that you seem to&amp;nbsp;have got your
ideas from ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How would you know that one need to crawl into a bin ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Must be a practised habit each time you get yourself debunked
for your poorly gathered facts ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Must&amp;nbsp;you ask - ''What's the prize for many of the economic
rubbish you attempt to throw before everyone face here ?''&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It depends&amp;nbsp;which economic rubbish you have offered that
require me to debunk and throw away into your $27 rubbish bin
before everyone's face that you choose as your audience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest prize will be to see a pompous
over-confident&amp;nbsp;DeerHunter shooting his own Gazelle&amp;nbsp;butt -
after blindly charging to support a losing proposition that he
continue on-behalf of&amp;nbsp;his master&amp;nbsp;clone : the Gazelle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You did say that you have been observing my
style&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;claiming victory when others have left the
argument - how did you come to such a definite conclusion ? Was it
inferred or were you deluded in seeing firewords placed in those
threads to celebrate the victory&amp;nbsp;that you have awarded to my
arguments observed by you ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you not been a consistent debater that have persistently
lost your arguments based on your own juvenile mistakes made, and
blaming others for&amp;nbsp;the silly and helpless
argumentative&amp;nbsp;position that you chose&amp;nbsp;that was&amp;nbsp;never
winnable - as in your claim for the $27 Billion China-Singapore
Trade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Go back to Sesame Street and be the Green Monster in the garbage
bin - you will have more fun entertaining the kids than succeeding
to be a DeerHunter in SGP.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess your rubbish bin can be pretty lonely. Go on and spout,
but just crawl back into the only place where you belong once you

&lt;p&gt;Surely I did not disturb your hunt and&amp;nbsp;scared the Gazelle
from your sight&amp;nbsp; - as the sound in my tune remained the same
?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You do not have to leave the&amp;nbsp;hunting ground,&amp;nbsp;simply to
allow me to claim victory in your absence - as you claimed in your
observations of my style.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or have you exhausted your intellectual capacity in explaining
your brilliant $27 Billion in the value of the China-Singapore
Trade - "both ways" ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good thing that you are faking your own advise, and
do&amp;nbsp;retire to Sesame Street where the garbage bin tenant will
surely welcome your company.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Victory? What's your prize for many of the economic rubbish you
attempt to throw before everyone face here? Oh..yes, the rubbish
bin.&amp;nbsp;Crawl&amp;nbsp;back&amp;nbsp;and revel in your $27.00&amp;nbsp;(
S$40.00, '07 rate) rubbish bin. Enjoy your self proclaimed
'victory'.&amp;nbsp;Your only victory&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;in furthering your
own stupidity.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Shoo! Crawl back to your rubbish bin where you belong.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
