Singapore sting: Sky-high prices are pushing locals to the edge of affordability
Some Singaporeans are concerned that more attention has been paid to attracting wealth than addressing their needs
TUESDAY 04 MARCH 2014
Singapore’s super rich are always on the lookout for new playthings. At a jetty near the Changi Airport over the weekend, a vehicle called The Humdinga – a cross between a Hummer and a boat – was launched in a display for local media. The amphibious car is designed for disaster relief and policing, but some of the city state’s wealthier residents are eyeing it as an alternative to another Ferrari 458. The chance to bypass traffic by dipping into the waterways to reach the office, golf course or their yacht, is pretty alluring. Read more of this post

Bitcoin Claims Its First “Real” Victim
Tyler Durden on 03/04/2014 20:45 -0500
[UPDATE: Tech in Asia has updated the article to emphasize that suicide is only suggested and not certain]
The last few weeks have been dismally littered with two things. The virtual losses of virtual wealth from virtual currency speculation and the very real losses of very real humans with very real senior financial services positions. Sadly, as NewsWatch reports, tonight sees the two trends converge as the 28-year-old CEO of Singapore-based Bitcoin exchange First Meta has been found dead.

Heading toward the caregiving cliff
WRITTEN BYRichard Harris
Perhaps the most memorable moment of President Obama’s State of the Union address in January was when he introduced Sgt. First Class Cory Remsburg. Nearly killed by a massive roadside bomb in 2009 during his 10th deployment to Afghanistan, the Army ranger was found facedown in a canal.
