Relative and absolute
Contributed by DareToAct
Why I learnt servicing institutional clients when i was an investment manager:When market is up, the clients look at relative performance.
When market is down, the clients look at absolute performance.
These is basic human psychology and I think those in the Government servicing the citizens need to understand this well.
Don't tell the middle income to be happy with their Executive apartments or EC ---- they are eyeing the relatively pricier condos and landed properties.
Don't tell the lower income and older workers to compare themselves to poorer people in other countries or to compare with the poorer conditions in the past --- they are absolutely poor and afraid now.

Singapore is striving to change itself into a metropolis, a meeting place for wealth and talent,
but the flourishing life also comes with the high cost structure of global cities.

Singapore is 17th most prosperous country: 1st or 3rd world?
I refer to the article “S’pore is 17th most prosperous country” (Today, Oct 28).
Since Malaysia is the only other country in Asean that is in the top 50, at 43rd,
I think it may be interesting to compare Singapore and Malaysia,
from the perspective of what it may all mean to ordinary citizens?

Minister should set a good example on volunteerism
Dear Mr. Tan
I wonder why we have so many Ministers in the PMO doing coordination work and some without portfolios. Where can we find the job scopes of each Ministers, including the MM and the SM and the President? Given the remuneration they are getting, I can only assume that each of their jobs is uniquely important and cannot be done by any other Ministers and Ministries. And I am also wondering what do the Ministers discuss during Cabinet meetings if they are not discussing about how the Ministries should work together and how they can cooperate to make Singapore a better place for citizens? If they could be more productive in their meetings and in their work, they can save quite a bit of money and that can be utilized for many other things. One example will be to hire more teachers and more health care providers, at higher salaries?
Just a thought but I thought the senior Ministers should lead the country in heightening of volunteerism by not accepting salaries but work as volunteers in the PMO?

My Money, Their Profits
I have always wondered,
Why is it that the market can go so high,
but my own account just doesn’t go anywhere?
On Wall Street: All Reward, No Risk
Hedge fund and private equity managers, like professional athletes, risk a lot to make a lot.
But the big banks pay people millions to gamble with other people’s money.
