"Sacrifice" or Spoils of Power? The Myth of the Underpaid Minister

​ ​In the halls of power, we are often told of the "great sacrifice" made by individuals like K. Shanmugam—men who supposedly "gave up" millions in the private sector to serve the nation. But when you pull back the curtain, this narrative isn't just a stretch; it’s an insult to the working class. ​1. The "Discounted" Millionaire ​We are told to be grateful that ministers only take 60% of the median income of the top 1,000 earners. ​The Reality: While the average Singaporean worries about the rising cost of living, a "sacrificing" minister pockets over $1.1 million a year. ​The Comparison: Calling a million-dollar salary a "sacrifice" is a slap in the face to 99.9% of the population who will never see that kind of wealth in a lifetime. If service is "from the heart," why is the price tag so

Everyone Watching March: Silver Delivery Stress Is the Real Story

$iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$   $ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$   $Sprott Physical Silver Trust(PSLV)$   Welcome to Muthu Boy Prata Shop ☕🫓 I’m breaking down my silver analysis the simple way—big global picture first, then the China/SHFE drama, COMEX delivery pressure in March, why CME margin hikes can only do so much, defensive tool loosing steam and the real risks at the end. Chinese billionaire Bian Ximing (via Zhongcai Futures) built a huge naked short position in silver on the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE)—around 450 tonnes (30,000 contracts).  This exceeded the exchange

Singapore to slash CDC vouchers as Budget 2026 pivots to defence

Damn stupid. Raise GST say got more CDC help, now reduce support instead. We pay more GST every year, they just collect more and more. Singapore’s national spending for the year is expected to cut back on CDC vouchers as the government shifts its focus to defence, infrastructure and artificial intelligence (AI). “CDC vouchers will likely be scaled back from the generous quantum in FY2025 (CDC $1.06b, SG60 $2.2b) and be more targeted,” Maybank said in its latest report. According to the company, CDC vouchers have boosted supermarkets & food courts, but even discretionary spending has picked up, including on watches & jewellery and recreational goods. Overall, retail sales jumped 4.7% during the July to November period from the 1.2% increase in the first half of 2025. Prime Minister

🎣 Bottom fishing in Micron ?

$Micron Technology(MU)$   TOMBOY Technical Check 🔍 ​Action: Adding a small position. ​Reason: Chart is showing support after a 16% pullback. ​Observation: I'm seeing high-volume oscillation—buyers are stepping in to fight the sellers. 🥊 ​Risk: Might crash one more time before the real recovery, so keep the initial stake small! ​Forward P/E is only 11.5x—valuation is starting to look juicy again. 🍎 I’m not diving in head-first, but I think the bottom isn't far away.

Research for You, Profits for Them: JPMorgan’s Perfect Market Ambush

 Do you still believe stock picks from Wall Street big banks? $SPDR Gold ETF(GLD)$   Last Friday (1/30), after Trump announced the appointment of hawkish figure Kevin Warsh, JPMorgan deployed massive capital to smash the market, taking advantage of higher margin requirements at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. They aggressively shorted silver, and when prices crashed to a low of $78.29, they closed 633 short contracts, flipping huge losses into a staggering USD 50 billion profit. Yet just 24 hours before launching this brutal short attack on gold and silver, JPMorgan had released a research report claiming gold would surge to USD 8,000 per ounce. A textbook Wall Street trap. @Tiger_c

🚨 THIS IS HOW METAL MANIPULATION GETS PREPARED!!

$ProShares Ultra Silver(AGQ)$  $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$   When paper says one thing. And the real world says another. 🇺🇸 COMEX: ~$83/oz Now look at physical. 🇨🇳 China: ~$95/oz (+$12) 🇯🇵 Japan: ~$90+/oz (+$7) 🇦🇪 UAE: ~$90+/oz (+$7) 🇮🇳 India: ~$88+/oz (+$5) Same day. Same metal. A $5 to $12 gap. And in a normal market, this can't last, arbitrage closes it fast, in milliseconds. But it's not closing. That one fact explains a lot. It means the market isn't clearing clean. Paper is printing a price that physical can't match. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL. Now connect the dots. CME just hiked maintenance margins. Silver maintenance goes 11%

A memory-chip meltdown has hit South Korea’s stock market.

Korean shares plunged 5% today, triggering a circuit breaker. Around midday, the Korea Exchange stepped in with a temporary trading halt, restricting sell orders to prevent panic selling from snowballing into even greater volatility. The sell-off was largely driven by profit-taking after a strong rally.  The recent slide in memory stocks isn’t just about chips—it’s a "perfect storm" of outside factors: ​📉 Silver Crash: Silver's wild drop triggered massive margin calls. Traders are selling their "winners" (like Micron/SanDisk) just to cover their losses. ​🪙 Crypto Drag: Bitcoin’s dip below $78k is pulling down high-growth tech.

BullionStar's S$20K Minimum + 28% Silver Premium = Small Investors Locked Out Not Buying at These Levels!

BullionStar in Singapore just slapped on a S$20,000 minimum for buy AND sell orders (vault storage sales exempted).

Gold Plunge Sparks Debate Over Market Limits and the Global Financial Order

A theory circulating among market observers suggests that gold’s sharp pullback is not merely a pricing correction, but a response to systemic constraints within the global financial system. $USD Gold Futures - main 2602(GDUmain)$   $iShares Silver Trust(SLV)$   According to the argument, when gold prices rose beyond roughly US$5,300 per ounce, the metal’s total market value began to rival—or even exceed—the outstanding market value of U.S. Treasury debt. This, proponents say, triggered broad-based selling as markets confronted an uncomfortable question: can gold be allowed to absorb too much of the world’s safe-haven capital? Within the current financial architecture, gold is viewed as
