I feel that no company would execute 900 heads unless they are in extreme doldrums.
 

oh dear.... it is safe to still put my saving with dbs?
 

yes, lah! remember that all deposits with banks here are guaranteed by our govt and backed against 150 billion of our reserves. sleep well.



Yes, it's still safe ... refer to Para 6 of this joint press release by MAS and MOF ...

Just wondering how do we actually know the govt actually has USD$150 billion?

Is there a website we can find out if the Singapore govt has that much reserves?

It's all on papers only.......for us to feel secure but are we really secure?
 

That's a pretty big lay-off. Furthermore, the bank is 38% in the red. :sweat:

Let's hope the economy can pick up.
 

ok. ask president nathan, who accordingly to many singaporeans, holds the third key in the cpf's logo.

right! dbs must act like they are responding to the situation. eg. 80 million set aside for compensating its customers over mis-selling.


It's less 38% profit, not a 38% negative profit..
