The question is: what can we buy today that would pay back tomorrow. It is an essentially monetary concept.<br /><br />The question is this: do you think the world underinvests in research in a way that Singapore is in the position to correct?<br /><br />The only thing that differentiates a good investment from a bad one is the price. Competitive advantage is a proxy for price. Discussions which do not even mention the price have no relevance.RhymeAndReasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827543207084542846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885520456892500736.post-62501210770626551942008-03-19T04:46:00.000-07:002008-03-19T04:46:00.000-07:00ST forum has become another outlet for eliciting p...ST forum has become another outlet for eliciting prompt responses for complaints, by virtue of them being publicized in a national newspaper.<BR/><BR/>Whether or not this can be interpreted as the "success" of ST or the "failure" of local organizations to address feedback & complaints effectively remains to be seen...EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635975903862786130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885520456892500736.post-61799858469981900542008-03-19T00:11:00.000-07:002008-03-19T00:11:00.000-07:00I am 99% sure that the journalists at the Straits ...I am 99% sure that the journalists at the Straits Times are just as frustrated. People like C George had left for that very reason.<BR/><BR/>The people to gun for is the Editorial Board and the politicians/ex-politicians who have a mighty big say in how things are run. And as you know the ST had already previously declared their undying support for the party in power - of course, this after it had run out of excuses for its veritable jingoist position. To the ST and Media corp making advertising money overrides all other consideration. Journalism and reporting the news as it is made is but a convenient vehicle to see copies.georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763865075090295355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885520456892500736.post-58333991641214407182008-02-04T00:13:00.000-08:002008-02-04T00:13:00.000-08:00For a wonderfully concise writeup of Sam Harris' v...For a wonderfully concise writeup of Sam Harris' views: <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Harris_(author)SigiLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10437223252935956757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6885520456892500736.post-65506224607111222562008-02-01T13:23:00.000-08:002008-02-01T13:23:00.000-08:00The Pope, or anybody in Vatican, should read the '...The Pope, or anybody in Vatican, should read the 'Letter to a Christian Nation' by Sam Harris.
