Economic Development Board (EDB) is expanding its efforts to attract global businesses to establish their headquarters in Singapore. As reported in The Business Times on 9 December 2009, EDB will broaden its strategy of focusing on the traditional G3 multinational companies and work to lure innovators and entrepreneurs from Asian countries to use Singapore as home base for their businesses. The strategy is really to "ensure a more diversified and robust range of industry sectors," said Mr Yip, chairman of EDB.Singapore is no longer just the gateway to Western markets. It also provides links to many important markets within Asia. EDB plans to capitalize on the economic growth in India and China -- and Singapore's existing ties with them -- to encourage Asian companies looking to compete internationally to use Singapore's unique position to help them cultivate a global presence by moving here.Asian businesses such as those in China and India have reached a level of maturity and are now ready to reach out to the markets worldwide.

This issue is receiving much attention in the news with many declaring the end of the earth as we know it and insisting that we take immediate action or it will be too late. They enlisted many entertainment professionals to aid in their declaration, but is it fact or fiction? One thing is curtain, haste makes waste.I raise this question for many reasons. One being that while many scientist claim it is fact, many others claim it is not. One side says if you listen to real scientist, you will see that they say it's true, but the other side claims to have real scientists too. Apparently real scientist are in disagreement, thus I repeat, haste makes waste. Secondly, 20 years ago scientists were claiming the next ice age and that we must be ready and 15 years before that they warned of global warming and prior to that the next ice age. Thus can we really trust those groups currently claiming global warming? Thirdly, those same scientist claim that evolution is how we all got here and they claim it to be science, yet true science is defined by something that is testable, observable and repeatable. Neither evolution or creation, for that matter, fall into the definition of science. Both...more
