It's official. The most powerful man on earth is now Barack Obama.
This proves that nothing is impossible in this world, as long as you work (hard) for it.

New SME Financing
When I read today's news (see here and here) I thought, oohh that was fast! (i.e. the response to my previous post) haha.
It was indeed a welcoming development made by the Standard Chartered Bank to offer a collateral-free Business Installment Loan. I don't know what the interest rate is, but I suspect it would probably be as high as the risk involved. SCB is, after all a commercial bank. The detail of the financing scheme can be found here.
However, the scheme is not for start-ups. It is meant for businesses which have been up and running for at least 3 years. Therefore, I hope our local businesses will only participate when it is absolutely necessary.
The issue of start-up financing, thus still remains.

I thought I'd post this now. Got an email from the University of Singapore this morning asking to help publicise their event which is opened to ALL University Undergrads of ASEAN Nationality.
So dear UBDians/ITBians, this is a very good opportunity for you to show the world what we are made of ! :) and of course for you to network, to make new friends etc.
I used to participate in events like this when I was at UBD (that was AGES ago! when I spent about 2 months living and studying at the NUS, participating in a student exchange programme) and yes, I made many friends, learnt new things, exchanged a lot of ideas and enjoyed every minute of it!
So, now is your turn...Enjoy!
The deadline is actually on 2nd March 2008 but applications can still be accepted until 28th March. Good Luck!
(To Janaki, thanks for visiting my blogsite and many thanks for the invite! But I don't think I'm qualified hehe :) All the best and good luck!)
Anyway, here's some info:
We're from National University of Singapore and would like to call for applications for the inaugural ASEANpreneurs Youth Leaders Exchange 2008. This will be held in Singapore from 15-20 May 2008.
