Right hand give you, left hand take back... before elections give you a bit more, after that take back double or more... what else is new in Republic of LEE Inc?

That's the problem with only 1 supplier... some more controlled by the gahmen. Win win situation for them only.

Too bad they know we are an obedient lot and our threshold for pain is pretty high! Or maybe we're just plain stupid, like what a Taiwanese political analyst once remarked???

So now it's 2 legs good, 4 legs bad.

Not sure are they purposely timed the anouncement so "zhun" to coincide the GD payout today. Really very efficiency in this kind of thing.. Like what you said right hand give, left hand take back...hahaha..

Some more need to pay a higher "forward fuel oil price"?? What if the "forward fuel oil price" is lower instead, do they return us the money?

They really "kill people without batting an eyelid" these greedy leechers!

"Forward fuel oil price" is just another con job to collect $$$ first, talk later.

Oil falls Friday awaiting bailout call

September 29, 2008 - 7:24AM

Light, sweet crude oil fell just over $US1.00 a barrel on Friday as an US financial bailout plan remained stuck in legislative limbo.

Light, sweet crude for November delivery fell $US1.13 to settle at $US106.89 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier dipping as low as $US104.25.

In London, November Brent crude fell $US1.06 to settle at $US103.54 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

The prospect of the financial bailout being scuttled or delayed rattled investors who were counting on the capital infusion to steady the teetering financial system.

Weak US demand for fuel has helped send crude down 27 per cent since the price surged to a record $US147.27 on July 11.

Friday's losses were limited by tight global supply, especially in the US where the impact of hurricanes Ike and Gustav is still being felt on Gulf of Mexico oil operations.

Oil companies are redeploying workers to Gulf platforms and rigs after the storms tore through the region, but most production remains offline.

About 57 per cent of crude output, and 53 per cent of natural gas production was still shut-in as of Friday, the US Minerals Management Service said.

The Gulf area is home to one quarter of US crude production, and 15 per cent of its natural gas.

In other NYMEX trading, gasoline futures fell 3.22 cents to settle at $US2.6651 a gallon, while heating oil futures fell 3.09 cents to settle at $US3.0174 a gallon.

Natural gas futures fell 30.3 cents to settle at $US7.628 per 1,000 cubic feet. The October contract expired at the end of the day, adding to volatility.

Gold prices briefly jumped above $US920 an ounce on Friday as a stalled plan to bail out the US financial system unnerved investors and prompted a flight into safe-haven assets. Silver also rose.

Gold for December delivery rose as high as $US920.10 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange before easing back to settle at $US888.50, up $US6.50.

Other precious metals were mixed. December silver rose 22.8 cents to settle at $US13.503 an ounce, while December copper fell six cents to settle at $US3.0745 a pound.

EYE IN THE SKY

CCTVs installed in and around the 12th level Sky Garden and lift landings area. Good job!

I’m so surprised to see the CCTVs up and running so soon. I thought the proposal would take at least a year or two to be approved with all the typical bureaucratic red tapes in the civil service.

Anyway, to the people who have made this possible. Thank you on behalf of all other residents who may not have logged in to this forum for a while. This will definitely deter would be trouble makers from gathering there and would make our estate more livable.

Oh! wat is new? They have been doing that for the past decades already... everything always timing very accurate one.

Actually its more like "Right hand give you, with a pat on the back and push you forward to die, left hand take wats left of you, including your bank book"

Everywhere economy is falling, only sink-a-pore seems to be increasing everything waiting for that day to come sooner... haiz..... what can we do again? as usual....wait for the next election to decide....if those who dare to oppose.

If i get just 1 wish, i would wish that all those up there will have a taste of our salary and try to even survive in this country w/o getting millions yearly, but rather just a simple $25k. I guarantee they cannot even survive for more then a month.

Thats all for now i guess....

Every 5 years, we are given the chance to do something.

But sadly, 66.6% of Sinkies prefer to have their behinds violated by the ruling party again and again. It has always been the same scenario before & after every election.

The Emperor should be laughing his head off now that his nemesis has kicked the bucket.

Yes. And only capable of complaining why in the world a person like you is born... Just another HELPLESS and UESLESS old man.

You are so pathetic that even the crows don't wanna come near you just in case eating your Pea size brain will poison them and cause them to be outcast...

Go buzz around in some other rubbish chute.... Stop Bull S###ing here.
