All are speculating with at least 5 properties, some 8 properties! And many junior civil servants with 3 properties under mortgage. How will a number-massaging garmen ever allow the banks to go broke? Strong Sing dollar, more hot money will be encouraged. An economy with no more manufacturing jobs" or capability can only rely on blowing financial bubble, hence "No Technical Recession, Ever". "It's not allowed, against the law". Who will pay eventually?

Simply change the..."Can they actually do that? Simply change the numbers if they don't look good enough to justify a GDP bonus?" <br /><br />YES THEY CAN! Per the same story for Q2, they instructed all contractors of major construction projects like HDB flats, SMRT new lines, and MINDEF of course, to delay invoicing from Q3 and to invoice in Q4. So Q3 would have been far worse then reported, while Q4 will show growth compared to the low base of Q3. Hence no 2 "consecutive" quarters of negative change in GDP! QED.<br /><br />The key of course is the year on year figure, of 1.2% which really sucks, BIg TIME! Again don't be too happy, they might have delayed a few major invoices or government projects originally scheduled for Q3 and Q4 of 2012 and save these for 2013 GDP, since 2012 was already so far below the all-important 3% GDP bonus target, you would expect the same Oxbridge-trained number massagers to repeat what they so successfully pulled of for Q2 and Q4, to pull down 2012 saving the best for 2013! QED QED!! <br /><br />Its sick, but all the senior civil servants understand the game, which is why I think when the changeover of rulers finally comes, there will be a big bonfire to destroy all evidences and trails!
