Soon, plastic for the people

Banking Act changes give lower-income access to unregulated, limited credit.

There may not be a name for it yet, but cards granting up to $500 in credit could soon line the pockets of Singaporeans who do not qualify for existing credit cards.

The way was paved for this new kind of credit product when Parliament approved changes to the Banking Act yesterday.

First the "Intergrated Resorts" and now this!?

I detest the government more and more each day. What are they doing now? They're supposed to protect the people!

So, damn...

Egypt on Saturday said it "regretted" the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein which took place on the Muslim feast of sacrifice, the foreign ministry said.

Saudi Arabia said on Saturday that the hanging of Saddam Hussein on the first day of the Muslim Eid al-Adha festival caused "surprise and dismay", the official Saudi Press Agency reported.

Saddam Hussein was buried early Sunday in his home village of Awjah in northern Iraq.

Saddam might indeed have done all that, even to fellow Muslims, but they were very rude to have done the deed on a religious day of importance such as that.

This, I believe have forced open the lid to Pandora's box even more.
