| "Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board." |

Singapore's bank lending growth slows in October
|
|
Singapore's bank lending almost stalled in October, with the Singapore dollar lending growing by a modest 0.3 percent to 406.5 billion Singapore dollars ($312.7 billion), statistics released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore showed.
This is in comparison with the growth of 3.1 percent for September, local daily Business Times said Thursday.
Business loans shrank by 0.1 percent to 233.3 billion Singapore dollars ($179.5 billion), reported Xinhua.
Analysts said they expected the bank loan growth to slow further in 2012. The government warned last week that the Singapore economic growth is expected to slow sharply to just 1-3 percent next year and could stall if the developed economies slide into recession. |
