Burj Khalifa Dubai Mall

During the global financial crisis in 2008, Dubai was in a liquidity crisis. It could not repay back the loans that were due, and the lenders refused to roll over the loan. Dubai had to seek assistance from Abu Dhabi. One consequence was the renaming of the world tallest building from Burj Dubai to Burj Khalifa. This removed the Dubai name from the most important landmark in Dubai.

Dubai found a way to retain the name. It renamed the Metro station that served this locality to Burj Khalifa Dubai Mall. So, the name of Dubai is retained in this landmark building and the Metro station. How ingenuous!

Investing in SGX

FISCA will be organising monthly talks on investing in the ETF, REITS and blue chip shares of SGX. The talk will be for 3 hours and will be conducted by a knowledgeable person, based on the principles set out in my book, Practical Guide on Financial Planning. Tentatively, the fee for the talk will be $30 (public) and $10 (members).

I encourage the public to attend the talk and be educated about these types of investments. I encourage investing in SGX as the prices and information are transparent and the investor has the opportunity to buy or sell these products at a low cost. This ensures that the consumers are not taken advantage by the issuer, in the case of structured products that are created by them.
