(Image credit: Mindef/CNA; The Singapore Spirit) The Singapore Spirit I would like to join my fellow Singaporeans in praising the RSAF for a job well done. It takes all the skills and bravery of our servicemen and women to pull off the dangerous repatriation operation to the Middle East. The rescue has the making of a Hollywood movie, but this was no Hollywood movie, the danger of getting caught in a crossfire was real. The government has sent 2 round trips using a Multi-Role Tanker Transporter, in short MRTT, for the rescue. It is one of the most advanced refueling transportation planes in the world.

I received a well-written report by him on Hotel Grand Central(HGC). There are many people dropping ideas on me, but very few ideas go past my initial interest to the buy basket. I will summarise the main context of the report and some of my comments in point form.  1.) The report starts by explaining the poor share price performance of Hotel Grand Central since covid. One of the main reasons was the weakening AUD and NZ. Given HGC has the bulk of their hotels in Australia and New Zealand. Mos...
