Bold Predictions Not for the Faint Hearted

* Take advantage of 2016 $500 Training Credit now, not 2016 at here *
After reading the world's analysis, these are my 7 predictions for 2015 (as written on 21 Feb 2015):
  1. Low Interest rates in USA will not only not rise (as promised by Yellen), but remain the same or even decline.  The recent rise in the US Dollar will be reversed by the second half of the year
  2. If you think that the market is awash with liquidity, there will be even more hot money floating around.  This is because Europe and other nations like Canada, Japan, China and Australia are now embarking on 'Quantum Easing', or printing of money into their economies
  3. Financial crisis will not materialize, instead there could be an Energy Crisis and Commodity Crisis. This means that everything will become cheaper due to the persistent low oil prices.  (note: I predict oil price will be below US$60 a barrel for most of 2015)
  4. Slow economic growth (less than 2%) will be the norm, and 1% to 1% growth is considered 'very good'
  5. Property prices in Singapore and most of the world will not go down, but in fact rise slightly towards the last quarter of 2015.  Note that property price in Singapore has less to do with demand and supply and more to do with government policies.  The Singapore government will not allow property prices to collapse in 2015. Some easing of the cooling measures will happen by May 2015. 
  6. Unemployment will rise in all countries as the world's economies are moving towards MI (mobile internet).  With mobile, less people are needed for economic activities. 
  7. Mobile Rules. Mobile will not only rule the economy but rule the world in other areas like politics, sports and travel. If your business has little mobile presence, your business is either very special or very quiet.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
