PAP'S ACCOUNTABILITY TO CITIZENS: ZILCH. NUFF SAID.

Not many, just two in Spain and one in Brazil.

Unfortunately the PAP comprises of primarily dumbtards and fucktards, therefore it won't make a scintilla of difference who leads - we citizens will suffer anyways.

Overcharged by SimplyGo when different devices are used on each leg I want to highlight an issue that may not be commonly known or well appreciated among SimplyGo users, which underscores the need to improve the final product before it is made the de facto mode of public transport payment for everyone.  With the recent increased public interest in SimplyGo, I downloaded the SimplyGo app in January to start monitoring the breakdown of my travel expenses. I am thankful that I did, but for all the wrong reasons. On reviewing the fare expenses from Jan 20 to Feb 8, I discovered that there were 19 instances where SimplyGo had overcharged me on my credit card, essentially doubling or even tripling the maximum fare charged to me, depending on how many modes of transport – bus and MRT – I had used and completely ignoring the distance-based fare principle. This was alarming, considering that I have been using linked credit card payments to pay for public transport fares for years.  The issue surfaces within a given trip when a different mobile device is used to pay for a fare, regardless of whether the device is linked to the same credit card or not. So while the physical credit card or a linked iPhone or Apple Watch may all be valid payment modes, alternating between any of these modes within a single trip would result in separate charges for each leg of the trip. As the fare reader is unable to determine the end-to-end origin and destination, each leg is charged the maximum charge. My only recourse is to write in to request reimbursement for those limited transactions I am able to access via the app.  This issue may also be impacting many others. SimplyGo needs to address this, as most commuters may assume that the mode of payment device should not impact the final fare as long as it is linked to the same payment mode, that is, the same credit card. Commuters should be either explicitly informed about this, or the device payment should be made seamless. Otherwise, this “bug” in overcharging could be inflating costs for commuters.

STI lethargy due to more than just short-termism Much has been said in recent months of the local bourse’s lethargic performance. The latest article comments that short-termism among many market participants is an under-explored underlying reason for the market’s lethargy (Singapore market ripe for a mid-cap boost?, Feb 12). In response, I wish to make a number of observations. First, the Straits Times Index (STI) has continued to trade below its pre-2008 financial crisis levels. In comparison, the three major American indexes – the Dow Jones index, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 – have all traded past their pre-crisis levels. Second, for at least the past 10 years, the top ranks of the STI have seen few changes to their composition when compared with America’s Nasdaq or S&P 500. This is a symptom of poorer economic dynamism. Third, Reits or real estate investment trusts have populated the ranks of the STI in recent years. Businesses create wealth; real estate is an expression of wealth. Fourth, the willingness and ability of Singaporean capital to work the stock market is, on the aggregate, low. Big money (and big business) here are, broadly, either government-influenced or family-influenced. Further, the upper-middle class generally prefers real estate. Fifth, the local ecosystem of analysts is nowhere as sophisticated as that in America and its coverage nowhere as comprehensive. Price-to-book and price-to-earnings are applied blatantly, often neglecting a business’ capital needs, profit margins and growth potential, or other metrics more appropriate for the industry. Sixth, Singaporean capital is generally more cautious and conservative. Seventh, the Singapore economy is heavily oriented towards trade and its offshoots, and growth in new sectors is typically driven by multinational corporations. These businesses typically find no need to raise capital from the local bourse. Eighth, merger and acquisition activity – an important driver in equity valuations – in Singapore is much less dynamic than in America. Lastly, the valuation differential is so absurd as compared with the United States that attractive companies see no point listing here.

Fat ass bitch was crying because her sleep got interrupted?

Under Gupta, DBS has always aspired to be less of a bank, and more of a technology powerhouse. And not just any tech firm, but one that would rank alongside some of the world’s most admired brands. As DBS told McKinsey & Co, the plan was to borrow the initials of Google, Amazon, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn and Facebook, supply the missing D, and voila: You have Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings. https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/time-running-out-dbs-piyush-gupta
