Sing-a-poor?

Yahoo! reports: Singapore economy plummets 20 pct in first quarter.

Singapore's economy plummeted nearly 20 percent in the first quarter, its biggest contraction ever, flagging a miserable start to the year for other export-dependent Asian nations grappling with the worst global slump in decades.

The government now expects the economy to shrink between 6 percent and 9 percent this year from a previous forecast of a drop between 2 percent and 5 percent, the ministry said in a statement. The 2009 growth forecast has now been cut three times.


If you need to cut your forecast thrice in three months, your forecast is shit!

And you've already dropped 20% and your forecast is 9%? How exactly does that work?

FAIL.
