About this Blog
From the onset, we've been in denial, defending the Asian economy with new theory like the "Decoupling Theory". Though the Asian financial institutions look strong so far, if you look around with more caution, you'll see hairline cracks in several Asian economies esp those with a bloated real estate bubble. Whether these hairline cracks will erupt into a full blown 1997 Asian financial crisis is yet to be seen. I'd want to remain cautious.
Even if the Asian financial institutions remain strong, which is what we all want to see, the Asian economies are undoubtedly going to be hit. Singapore economy, for one, has already fallen victim.
I won't say that this is going to worse for us than the Asian financial crisis but I won't be too quick to discount the possibility either.
In short, I'd not encourage property hunters to step into the market just yet. There should be no action until price is down considerably (for me, it's 40% and more).

Compare current US Subprime Crisis with Asian Financial Crisis
