I had engaged a journalist to write about a sad story long ago. She spent a few days with me collecting facts and data. She was later told approval was not granted for publishing. I also came to understand from her all articles, stories or comments need to be vetted by "someone" up there.
Is this the type of 'indepenent' press we have in Singapore?

Hi Kin Lian, Please post the latest valuation (July24)of the following series of Pinnacles Notes. The situation is now very critical for holders of these notes.

Series 9 & 10 are already kaput, 1 & 3 may be gone too, and 2,6 & 7 are almost worthless at 0.3% or less(they were at 2% a fortnight ago!) and Series 5 at 1.8%, barely alive and hanging by their skin.

Only remaining 4 Series are fairly safe at this time.

Yet MAS unlike its HK counterpart is expecting each and every investor to fight it out on a case-by-case basis with his FI distributor when it has already found the FIs guilty of near-systemic or firm-wide errors and faults. MAS is indeed prescribing a slow and painful death for the investors who are the victims in toiling through processes of complaints, FIDREC and/or legal actions, while the guilty are merely given what is effectively an enforced but cost-free and painless holiday.

In the light of the latest empathetic resolution led by HK's authority, I think the Petition ought to updated appropriately to add more punch.

Mr. Tan, are you aware that Hong Lim Park is wired with CCTV cameras all over? I am not surprised it is also bugged with listening devices.
Freedom of speech? what crap... They think it is the Geylang red light.
Becareful, this gahment cannot be trusted. They are now scared of their own shadows.

Tan Kin Lian said...

Hi: Poster of 8:02 PM
I have read that Hong Lim Park has CCTV installed. It is okay. I always work on the basis of transparency.

Even if there is no CCTV, I am sure that the Police has their personal in plain clothes with the recording devices.

I do not intent to stir up trouble, or to make defamatory statements. So, there is nothing to fear.

Anyway, if the authority want to create trouble for me, they will be able to find some fault. All of us have some fault, one way or another. No one is an angel.

Anonymous said...

What is there to be afraid of ? Our conscience is clear. So what if there area 100 cameras ? We are not going there with weapons.

Singapore Short Stories said...

I noted the date of this post is 22Aug? Why it is so?

Anonymous said...

The CCTVs play on the culture of fear that had been mentioned so many times in this blog. This culture of fear is so overwhelming that even if there strong evidence that they have been cheated, people will refuse to sign a petition, attend a gathering or seek legal action to recover their money. Instead they hope that someone else will do all the fighting for them. If that person wins, they then quietly collect their money.

I did not purchase any mini-bonds or high notes. I will however attend the gathering on 22 Aug to support the efforts of those fighting to see some justice done in this matter.

The main problem with the camera is that the video tapings will be very handy for authorities to sue for libel much more easily. In our fury of anger, it is 99% certainty that when we speak, we will occasionaly pass some non factual statements accidentally, about such and such a person 言多必失. There you go, you get sued for libel. Who dares to speak? Game over.> beep.<

A Tan said...

If petitioners and friends do not dare go to HLG because of CCTV cameras, you deserve to lose yr money, and to be ignored.

If you believe gathering will help you, go CCTV camera or not.

Oh and why has no-one the courage to join TKL to speak. Again if petitioners dare not, you deserve to lose yr money and be ignored.

BTW I not investor, but I annoyed that S'porean investors depend on non-investor to lead them.

In HK, investors take the lead. Others help. Here all depend on TKL to draw and and put up petition.

Finally I hope all of you praising TKL showing yr appreciation by buying his books or signing his "100,000 names" petition.

Otherwise govmin is right to think that can ignore you people without any adverse consequences. Come GE you will vote P P PAP.

Have some sense of appreciation.

Don't worry about making defamatory remarks in the midst of emotion.

If the party sue you for defamation, you still have the chance to apologise and withdraw your remarks, or to clarify that the remarks do not mean what the plaintiff claim to be.

If any party wish to sue me for my views or remarks, I will consider if they have the right to do so. If I made a mistake in defaming them, I am willing to apologise (out of fairness to the other party).

So far, nobody wanted to take any action against me, although I have expressed my views quite often. I always try to be fair in expressing my views.

Tan Kin Lian said...

I have dated this post as 22 August so that it will stay at the top of the blog for the next few weeks.

The Petition is dated 29 August 2009.

Anonymous said...

I feel that the petition should
reveal more truth and point our
finger to the main culprits:
1.MAS
failed to bring the FIs who
breached the FAA to task and
hold them for the responsibility
for mis-selling the toxic
products to the public.
failed to release the name list
of RMs who breached the FAA in
its investigation report.Instead
asked individual investor to
fight for their own case.This
is bias against the retail
investors.
2.Minister
failed to look into and safe
guard the interest of SG citizen.
600m dollars had been swindled
by these cheating syndicates and
yet our minister only worries
FIs reputation were tarnished.
3.HK has gained world respect and
praise.SG has been scorned as
weak as a lame duck in front of
the powerful FIs. Are there any
possibility of "官商勾结" ?
4.An independent investigation
commission should be set up so
to get the truth and real
culprits for the scandal.

Anonymous said...

another way of doing this is to take out a full-page advertisement on ST, not to complain, but rather to show why it is unfair that the FIs were not punishedl, why the products are flawed, and why stronger government actions are needed. now the question is: is this allowed in Singapore?

Anonymous said...

Basically all it takes to change the whole scenario in favour of the investors' (or at least a more reasonable settlement) is a single comment of one man in singapore, that old Grandmaster. If, miraculously, he somehow changes his stance tomorrow, the entire government machinery will switch tracks in no time at all. We're in reality North Koreans, it is quite obvious. High defence spending, no freedom, nepotism...

Someone should list know all the impt dates towards this fiasco. like when LB chapter 11 happen, when MAS publish their comments (vis-a-vis HK garmen respond). If lay out side by side, then it will become obvious what our garmen is not only painfully slow but also not interested (totally lost touch with ground). For minibond, MAS actually suggest that investor file with US court.....I wonder if they actually visited the website for filing. It is so complicated.

I will admit to ALL my friends that I am a dumbo and lost money in minibond.....but I will also highlight to them that we have a garmen that no longer cares! I hope GE will come soon.

Lastly, thank you Mr Tan for taking the lead.

Anonymous said...

I agree the GE will allow us victims to make our position clear. The government has really disppointed in handling this fiasco. on other hand, HK government recognised that products themselves are toxic and people were unfairly cheated into the purchase and have helped drive the banks to compensate

Now it seems that we the weak consummers of the
toxic productions are fighting an uninvincible
battle against the combined force of FIs, MAS and top govt officers. No sympathy was shown
any parties of above. Under this circumstance,
we should show our fighting spirit even though we lose the battle--by effective strategies:
1.pubiicize the whole truth to the world by
advertizing our open letter.
2.use contrastive and comparation methods to publizise and distinquest the different methods
in various coutries, ie. HK, Taiwan and SG. Most
importantly, tell the world what are the effects
and results for the retail investors.
3.provide key information for the opp parties so to get enough protest voices in parliment as we have lost hope in any MPs and ministers.

You think this is bad? You lose just money in this case. Very soon, when the IR opens, you may be losing your wives and daughters. Why, just go to Asiaone news to see the article being written about the wife of a debtor who was taken away, raped and photographed by loansharks and forced into prostitution to repay his debts. The combination of gambling and money-minded people will soon hit our shores like a Tsunami. You think you can trust our govt to stop these. Just look at all the hotel 81s and vice activities sprouting up all over the island. The police can only catch the "victims" like runners who are actually victims themselves. Who are these masterminds and why so difficult to catch? This place is going to the dogs with the million dollars leadership unable to solve the problems but instead creating new ones. Sad

Hi 3:20,

You are right. Singapore will soon becoming a gambling hub and prositution hub. Our govt will be the "Okui toa".

Anonymous said...

I think it is very clear that our govt has adopted a "4 no 3 yes" policy in the handling of the toxic products, namely
1. "no" to admit liability for approving the
sale of the toxic products to retail
customers otherwise our neighbor will laugh
at us how come we were so stupid to allow
such thing happen.
2."no" to penalize the FIs as the interest of
FIs and govt are closely linked. If the
reputation of FIs were tarnished, the
regulatory authority also suffer in the same
way.
3."no" to reveal the whole truth to the people
and let FIs compensate as low as they like
to granny. 600m dollars swindled by cheating
syndicates were peanuts and not worthy for
consideration.
4."no" to help retail investors by releasing
the name list of the RMs who admittedly
committed and breached the FFA. Investors
have to fight their own way as they bought
the toxic products with their eyes opened.
1."yes" to protect the interest and reputation
of FIs, otherwise the chances of turning SG
into a financial center would be affected.
2."yes" to penalize the FIs to insignificantly
meaningless level and incur no monetary lost
to them.
3."yes" to turn to a deaf ear to all criticism
by calls of social justice. All govt officers
must adopt the same mindset and manner to
deal with the Lehman fiasco.
Where we can look for help now?

"Our neighbors took the preventive measures to prevent the toxis products from entering. They save the people the nightmares.
They win the praise from the hearts of the people.

HK made a big mistake in allowing these products. Their situations were much worse than SG. (50k vs 10K, 5 times the problem). Yet they are able to solve the problem. They took the right steps to rectify the situation.
They now win the praises the world over. Poeple appreciate their actions from the bottommof their hearts.
They win the trusts and confident of both FIs & investors.

So the key is how u handle the problem. U can turn a "bad" situation into a "good" one if you are willing to.
If u are sincere in helping people, which in turn will help yourself."

In HK, 50,000 people affected, yet they can solve the problem satisfactory.
In SG, only 10,000 people affected, and with so many "talents" and scholars, and still cannot solve the problem properly?

It is amazing so long after Hong Kong government has annouced the compensation deal they managed to work out with the banks, our Government and MAS have not made a single comment. What is happening? They should at least say something. Just say yes, we are going to discuss with the bank to offer the same compensation or no we are not going to do anything, you are on your own. Don't they know that there is so much frustration among the people who have lost a huge part of their life savings. All of us are waiting, waiting, waiting.. for MAS to say something so that we can plan our next course of action. After the Today and Business Times editorial and the letter to the press, I am sure you must have read it. What is MAS and the government's position after this latest development in Hong Kong. Please, please say something, we know you are there.... Please don't keep quiet. That is the least you can do for Singaporean investors.

Our govt and MAS will not care anymore because Temasek also plans to sell MiniBond alike products to retail investors. When they sell to you, Temasek RMs will say: "Worst scenario is a standard clause in all non-capital guaranteed products. If you don't trust Temasek and S'pore Govt, who do you trust?"
After Temasek lost all your investments, govt leaders will say: "You sign it with your eyes open."
This is uniquely Singapore!

How about this for comparison. I heard on the news on TV yesterday that one transport company is being fined $500,000 for fixing their fares to Malaysia together with a group of other transport company. How much is the fare to Malaysia by bus? Few 10s of dollars. So the price was fixed, how much more did the passengers have to pay as a result, a percentage of few 10s of dollars. I am not saying that the company should not be fined less. The point is compare this with the amount of money that the banks have ripped off from their customers in this Minibond episode -millions of dollars lost. And MAS just ban the banks from selling structured. Ban versus $500,000 fine. Just do the comparison. Does it make sense??

GEL 100% buy back of its structured notes makes many FIs, especially govt linked FIs, feel
embarrassed and malu second time after the HK
model of compensation has been agreed upon by
FIs and investors.
I wonder whether MAS has received any directive from the top leaders that SG must stick to its own way to deal with the MB scandal-- that no liability should be held by FIs or MAS. It is up to individual investor to claim for his own on case to case bases.Most importantly, let FIs to compensate as low as they like according to their own investigation and judgment.`
That is why MAS can do nothing except appealing
to FIs to be more merciful even though they were
caught red handed by MAS in breaching the FAA.
SG is now far far below HK, Taiwan and even our
neighbors in terms of regulatory effectiveness
on financial products. WE can foresee that the financial hub dream by the govt leaders will become a fat hope.

Don't underestimate the present voting population. It is the baby boomers and the next net savy youngsters. If the insult burnt too deep, 2 yrs later, the scar will be my reminder. I am now a floater or independent voter. I will measure govt performance & what they done for us. At the moment, it is thumbs down or "Losers.

Reasons:

i)I am a degree and diploma holder with no job. All the crap about CDC helping finding jobs for PMET but I still have no job after numerous applications. Why? employers wants younger, cheaper, presumely healthier graduate.

No job means govt lousy. Sometime wonder why children study so hard when after they grow up, jobs belongs to foreigners. Try calling banks customer service lines, visit hospitals etc, all foreigners. Maybe ask Govt to allow foreigners to vote since they like them so much. Foreigners can approve ministers request for pay raise next time.

ii) Poor MB & HN & P investors. MAS not helping. Ask MP for help, redirect to MAS. Petition to MAS, got a message from chairman that "MAS is working very hard" End result, a report that Ban FIs for a product that became dead since Sept 17. Ask Minister Lim is this all he can do, the answer was "bank names has been tarnished" At >$2 million salary a year and you get "bank names has been tarnished". So MAS worked very hard to get a report out so that MAS is not at fault. Umno done the same thing by treating Malaysian the same way all this years, they got burnt real bad. Same can happen to Sgp if the Govt wrap up the MB and HN issues badly. The bad feeling is not the only 10,000, is many more. I hardly hear people talking bad about MB investors. Radio, newspapers are more supportive now. I guess all were shocked of the HK success in >60% compensation and siliently waking up to the reality that this Govt just not the same one we thought we have voted for.

Remember, if you are pay so much, we expect you to deliver. If not, let the opposition help manage your salary & performance.
