These are two executive articles. I like you to read them because Singapore bas been following the bad practices that had caused the economic downfall of America - the bad behavior of the banks and the corporate sector. Although Singapore is enjoying a healthy economy now, there is the risk the continuing problems in America will hit the rest of the world and caused the next global recession. If it happens, Singapore can be hit quite hard.

White collar crimes are

A) difficult to understand
B) requires an equally business mind to detect
C) difficult to enforce
D) negative to captalism

It could also involve many Government people and politicians.
That is perhaps why it is seldom enforced. Too connected.
