Singapore's DBS cuts 900 jobs, reports 38 percent fall in Q3 profit

AFP - Friday, November 7

SINGAPORE, Nov 7, 2008 (AFP) - Singapore's DBS Group, Southeast Asia's biggest bank by assets, said Friday it was cutting 900 staff to trim costs amid the global credit crisis, and reported a slump in third quarter net profit.

Chief executive Richard Stanley said most of the cuts, to be carried out at the end of the month, will come from its offices in Singapore and Hong Kong and will account for six percent of the workforce.

"To be a streamlined organisation, I believe we must run a tighter ship," he told reporters.

"We have been vigilant on costs but as the economy enters a more difficult and uncertain phase, many financial institutions around the world and in Asia have made headcount reductions," he added.

"To be more productive and efficient, we will restructure and streamline the organisation. Regrettably, this has resulted in the need to reduce our workforce by six percent or about 900 people, primarily (in) Singapore and Hong Kong, by the end of the month."

ELF products

Recently purchased cosmetic products from ELF spree. It is very very cheap, cost only USD 1.00 for most stuff such as lip stick, eye shadow, eye brightener, compact powder..etc.

A local cosmetic sales chain has brought in this brand into Singapore as well but the prices are much more expensive. For the same USD 1.00 item, they are selling at SGD 6.90. Using today's exchange rate at 1.51 and including shipping cost (total to be about SGD 2.00) , that is a markup of whopping 3.45 times!

For people like me with no time to go shopping in Orchard Road, online shopping definitely saves my time and money.

My Baby

Aiden has been down with fever, flu, running nose and cough since wednesday.. He is finally almost well (except cough) now. Been so busy caring for him, I didn't have time to update my blog. Well, Aiden is still more important.

We have concluded it might be due to the herbal soup that he drank last Sunday to have caused him to be sick. His body is of "heaty" type, therefore, heaty herbal soup will bring out the heat from his body and make him sick.

Lesson learned, I am definitely not going to let him drink this anymore. All the effort to cool his body by making him drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits has gone down the drain.
