**** In Past Month Apple Stock Has Outperformed Just About Everything <http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/business/appleaday/blog/2009/03/in_past_month_apple_stock_has.html>
by David Zeiler, Baltimore Sun

AAPL’s continued above-average performance indicates fears over Jobs have indeed subsided (though any bad news or rumors could quickly reignite them).

I also think AAPL is benefiting from Wall Street’s consternation over where to put its money in such a dreadful market. It’s one of the few companies not going over the edge.

**** Workers, Employers Urged To Have Sense Of Balance When Dealing With Retrenchments <http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/412308/1/.html>

Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong said that despite the gloom, Singapore is not in a bad position.

Stop thinking of your job that has been lost. Think of other people's job that has yet to be lost when you go vote.

**** What Is The Approval Rating Of PM Lee? <http://wayangparty.com/?p=5760>
by Fang Zhi Yuan, The Wayang Party Club

Being a strong government as so often proclaimed by the PAP, it should not be afraid to put its track record under intense public scrutiny. Is Mr Lee afraid that he will not garner a respectable approval rating for his stewardship of the nation since the last general election?

The PAP government has a habit of saying that the election is the only way of gauging people's choice. In between, the government can damn well do whatever it wants.
