Worst fashion models ever
Heidi Montag made her entrance into the modeling world when she walked the runway and posed in an ad campaign for her clothing line, Heidiwood. If the forces above are kind enough, may that be the beginning and end of her career there, as we really don't want to see anymore of the superficial famewhore slash former The Hills castmember.

Rome was not built in a day, and we took several years too to reach this figure of 5.18 million people.
During the building of Rome, the Romans kidnapped the Sabine virgins, raped and made them bear children for Roman Empire under Romulus. We can't resort to this way, and so we use foreign talents to bear children for future generations. Poor Singaporeans, seems mostly have no mood for sex.

We are what we eat
Faith Leong Siang Nuan
Is there something wrong with people’s health today?
The writer is a PhD holder in biblical studies.
There is a sense that cancer is striking more at a younger age, and the Ministry of Health has disclosed that two in five Singaporeans aged 20 and above have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, as reported in “Masterplan to leverage on the general practitioner community” (Sept 21).
Former Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan blogged in January: “Our key mission is to keep Singaporeans well and healthy. That is why we call ourselves the Health Ministry not the Sickness Ministry.”
Prevention may be the answer to shortages in hospital beds and healthcare providers.
As the majority of the population eats out, it may be necessary to keep track of what is dished out by the many local and foreign food vendors. This involves checking the ingredients used as well as the food preparation and storage.
No doubt, hawker stalls are categorised into A, B, C or D grades, but these measure only “the overall hygiene, cleanliness and housekeeping standards” of retail food premises, according to the National Environment Agency website.
Food toxicity can remain undetected.
Our diet consists primarily of mass-produced crops and processed food, which are inevitably tainted by growth hormones, fertilisers, pesticides, preservatives and additives.
Yet, it is often observed in food courts that vegetables are taken straight from the shopping bag to the chopping board. Daily consumption of even allowable standards of such chemicals could be adverse to health.
In some instances, pails are used to store food.
Are vendors aware of the different grades of plastics suitable for food storage?
Bisphenol A or phthalate seepage from containers can cause hormonal changes and affect sperm count.
Could our declining birth rate be aggravated by unwelcome chemicals in our diet?
These issues are complex and need to be investigated through social and scientific research.
Even the United States Food and Drug Administration’s standards are not infallible:
Certain plastics once deemed safe to make milk bottles are now said to be harmful. Food toxicity is becoming a worldwide issue.
I commend the investment of research resources in public health, reported in
“Data to be collected to improve healthcare” (Sept 20).
Professor Saw Swee Hock’s philanthropic contribution of S$30 million to a School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore reflects a sense of urgency. Polytechnics can offer related courses.
More feared than acute sickness are the silent killers (chronic diseases), which could be due to food toxicity gone unnoticed.
If we are what we eat, if as a nation we are not that healthy, then the foremost attention must be on the food set on public tables.
Wah.... the post distort again..... sianzzz........
sorry everyone..
HAHAHA ... i am more afraid of this than the property price..... what goes up will come down.....
'Mutant' dogs to spawn from hundreds of feral pups still living in Fukushima no-entry zone, suggest officials
It resembles the plot line of a cheesy horror flick, but the idea that a new generation of vicious " mutant" dogs will one day spawn from puppies still living in and around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster zone is something that Japanese officials are taking very seriously. According to a recent report in The Seattle Times (ST), efforts aimed at capturing the hundreds of wild dogs still living in the Fukushima no-entry zone are failing, and many of the dogs are growing ever more wild as they freely scour the human-less fallout zone.
" If these puppies become parents, their offspring will be wild dogs with no experience with people," a government official is quoted as saying to ST. " We want to catch these puppies before they grow up."
But most capturing efforts initiated thus far have been unsuccessful, as the " dead zone" dogs still living are becoming increasingly more estranged and savage. Though the Japanese government had successfully captured several hundred dogs in the months immediately following the Fukushima disaster, more-recent efforts to locate and apprehend remaining dogs have been fruitless.
For unknown reasons, the remaining wild dogs are not responding to the food-baited cage traps that they once did, which has left authorities scratching their heads as to what to do next. The dogs, many of which would have formerly responded to human petition, have now apparently transformed into beasts of a different variety.
" The dogs have gone wild," added Kunitoshi Baba, a 63-year-old veterinarian from Kawasaki, who has been helping the local government try to capture the loose canines. " If infected dogs go outside the zone and attack people, disease could spread," he added, noting that many of the loose dogs apprehended thus far are infected with various diseases.
Back in June, we posted a video clip to NaturalNews.TV that shows what appears to be an earless bunny rabbit allegedly born this way as a result of exposure to nuclear radiation from the crippled Fukushima plant. The mutation, if a legitimate result of nuclear fallout, may have been an early prelude of worse things to come.
hahaha.... worse i think will be like " I Am Legend"
Cheer
Also it is important to note that China property is 70 years lease-hold only.
Due to this, the demand will always be there.
In Southern Johor most property are free-hold and buying a house there means you can pass down the property for more than 2 generations.
The land is yours forever to keep if you buy landed property and not condo apartment.
My grandfather house is already passed down for 4 generations.
In short, without foreign ownership (or speculation), demand will be as high.
If you go to KL, you can see all the rich Arabs now buying up a lot of bungalows there.

The policy limit to 1 house per foreigner earlier and now there are measures put in place to restrict foreign ownership in certain cities after the housing prices continue to escalate.
This is what I was told by my friend in China.
He is now married with a China wife.

Foreigners are not allowed to buy China properties AFAIK, their housing demand is generated domestically.
There is a big difference between there and Iskandar Region.
There will be a considerable amount of profit taxes if you want to dispose off your properties in Malaysia if you are investing as a foreigner thru the Malaysia My 2nd home program.
And when all the foreigners decided to cash in at the same time, you will be caught off guard big time in my opinion.
It will be good that if you are buying property there for retirement purpose or for a weekend get-away stay and not for speculative purpose in my opinion.
By the way, I am born in Malaysia.

Hmm... There Was A Mini Run On A South Korean Bank Yesterday
Depositors withdrew more than 41 billion won from the Tomato 2 Savings Bank in South Korea yesterday,
according to the WSJ.
The spike in withdrawals, which was more than 10x the norm, prompted two South Korean finance officials, Financial Services Commission Chairman Kim Seok-dong and Financial Supervisory Service Governor Kwon Hyouk-se, to assure the bank's clients that their money was safe by each depositing 20 million won each with branches of Tomato 2 Savings Bank.
The reason for the spike in withdrawals is understandable, but totally wrong: Tomato Savings Bank, a sister bank of Tomato 2 Savings Bank that otherwise has nothing to do with it, was one of the 7 savings banks shut down on Sunday for bad performance.
The similarities in the bank names freaked people out so much that after Kim deposited his 20 million won with Tomato 2, he told a bunch of people waiting to withdraw their money outside the bank,
according to the WSJ:
“Tomato Savings Bank and Tomato 2 Savings Bank are totally different….(The latter) has no problem. Its BIS ratio is 6.26%. I myself just put my money into this bank, so please don’t worry."
In the U.S., the opposite is happening. Banks have too much money. It's expensive to hold so much, and US banks don't want it because interest rates are so low, they don't make enough money off of deposits.
In the last three months, accounts at U.S. commercial banks have increased $429 billion, or 10%, almost double the increase for all of last year. And deposits are at record levels near $10 trillion, according to the LATimes.

Steve Wynn keen to open casino hotel in Singapore-report
SINGAPORE | Sun Jun 19, 2011 9:00pm EDT
SINGAPORE Jun 20 (Reuters) - Casino gaming tycoon Steve Wynn, who controls Wynn Resort and Wynn Macau , is keen to build a property in Singapore, where two one-year-old casino-resorts look set to surpass the Las Vegas Strip in gaming revenues this year, the Business Times reported.
" I'm dying to go to Singapore," Wynn told Singapore's Business Times in an interview. " That's my next goal in life -- to build a hotel in Singapore."
Such a hotel would need the ancillary income of a casino to justify the investment, he added.
Singapore legalised casino gaming in 2005 in a bid to double visitor arrivals by 2015. Genting Singapore's Resorts World at Sentosa opened in February last year, while Las Vegas Sands' Marina Bay Sands started operations in April.
Wynn will have to wait till March 2017 to open a property in the Southeast Asian city as Singapore has granted the two incumbents exclusivity for the period. (Reporting by Kevin Lim)
