Singapore’s GIC sees global recession

Singapore’s biggest sovereign wealth fund said on Monday a global recession was increasingly likely but defended its multi-billion dollar bets on Citigroup and UBS as providing good long-term returns.

Sovereign wealth funds globally have poured billions of dollars into major U.S. banks reeling from writedowns linked to U.S. subprime mortgages, which have sparked a global credit crisis.

The Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC), which analysts estimate could manage as much as $300bn, said the financial turmoil would leave markets extremely volatile over the next one to two years.

”The financial contagion has now spread beyond U.S. shores, increasing the likelihood of a global financial crisis and recession,” Deputy Chairman Tony Tan said at GIC’s inaugural staff conference on Monday.

”We could be facing a recession which is longer, deeper and wider than any recession we have encountered in the last 30 years,” he said.

Tan made his comments at a staff conference to which the media had been invited. But, GIC declined to answer media queries.

The corporation, which says on its Web site that it manages ”well above $100bn”, rarely communicates with the media but has made efforts in recent months to be more responsive.

food emergency

The World Bank has announced emergency measures to tackle rising food prices around the world.

World Bank head Robert Zoellick warned that 100 million people in poor countries could be pushed deeper into poverty by spiralling prices.

The crisis has sparked recent food riots in several countries including Haiti, the Philippines and Egypt.

The World Bank endorsed Mr Zoellick's "new deal" action plan for a long-term boost to agricultural production.

Emergency help would include an additional $10m (£5m) to Haiti, where several people were killed in food riots last week, and a doubling of agricultural loans to African farmers.

Shock at polar bear's carp kill










Germany's celebrity polar bear Knut has triggered a new controversy by fishing out 10 live carp from his moat and killing them in front of visitors.

Critics say Berlin Zoo should not have put live fish inside Knut's enclosure. But German media report that the carp were put there to eat up algae.

There is speculation that hand-reared Knut killed the carp just for fun.

Girl got killed by Video Game Controller!!!










A 2-year-old girl died after being beaten with a video game controller by her mother's boyfriend, police said Tuesday.

Darisabel Baez's mother overheard the beating Sunday but did nothing until she realized the girl was unconscious, police said. The girl was pronounced dead late Monday at Hershey Medical Center, police Lt. Ron Camacho said.

Homicide was added to the list of charges against Harve L. Johnson on Tuesday; he was already in jail on counts including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.

The girl's mother, Neida E. Baez, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child.

Johnson, 26, acknowledged beating the girl with a video game controller but did not say why, police said. Baez said that Johnson had abused the girl in the past and that she heard the girl scream after Johnson beat her Sunday, according to the affidavit.

Detective Dana Ward said Baez was charged because she did not intervene or try to get help for Darisabel.

Microsoft gives Yahoo deadline!!!

Computer software giant Microsoft has given Yahoo a three-week deadline to respond to its offer to buy out the internet company for $44.6bn (£22.3bn).

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said his company would take its case directly to Yahoo's shareholders if Yahoo's directors did not respond by 26 April.

Microsoft made an unsolicited bid on 31 January, but Yahoo's board rejected it as substantially underrating its value. Yahoo has since explored alliances with other firms, but no offer has surfaced.

In a letter, Mr Ballmer acknowledged that such negotiations were underway, but wondered why Yahoo was not talking to Microsoft too
