Put it this way....No amount of money in this world can ever make you loose your weight!!
Having said that, I still believe that all companies have some social and moral obligations to society at large.
Totally agree with you there bro....*High Five!*
Actually I would like to see this kind of commercials/advertisment here. Besides providing entertainment, such kinds of commercials/advertisments may in fact educate consumers in the short comings or flaws of competiting products.
Having said all that, I believe that in the minds of the general public, they are all just one big happy family.
just my 1 cent... :roll:
bro, when it comes to marketing, the marketing deptl will have to follow certain instructions or so called principal when do the marketing or promotion plan.
hmm..SBC, TCS and MCS, is the same company with a changed in brand that armed with new direction and strategies to meet competition ahead.

here it goes.
when we say competition in the media industry, it encompass airtime, press, outdoor, buses, periodicals, below the line and many other media vehicles.
i know where you coming from when you say 'what competition is there in S'.
the advertising dollars in singapore is around 600million yearly and where does this 600million goes to?
every media plays a part in getting the advertising dollars in this small market.
i must say that in singapore, even we are a small country but at least we got the guts to try out new things or explore new business opportunities.
though, the new tv station by press and the free newspaper by mcs has come to a merger, i think at least we have managed to sustain a free newspaper and new channel but having different management so to speak.
competition is always there and it applies to any industries.
the paradigm is not at a halt, it is always changing and pretty fast too.
a product that makes a company successful now or before doesnt guarantee anything for the future unless the company stays at a competitive gear with an open mind.
more than 40 over years ago or even longer, the swiss were the top in the watch business.
and one day, a swiss watch maker invented the quartz movement but it was rejected by their own ppl saying that there were no gears, no mechanism in it and it can never be a watch.
without giving any protection to the deceit and the jap (seiko) bought over the product with just one glance in one of the exhibition.
today, the swiss has lost more than three fold of their market share in the watch making industry and quartz took over the market share.
anyway, i am just sharing my quarter cents and thanks for reading.
:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:
I know what you are saying bro.....but in certain industries in Singapore, artificial competition is created just for the sake of competition.....and then we tell the whole world "Look!! There's actually competition in Singapore after all!!" It's really a case of left pocket to the right pocket.

For once, you are not talking cock to chalk up your total posts, but making perfect senses.
Once I spoke to this fund manager who lamented the dislike for the Singapore stock market and in particular the "representative" STI index. Just browse through the list of blue chips and indeed, each and every major sector is dominated by a GLC (or TLC, T for Temasek), perhaps except the banking sector, which is seeking liberalisation.
SingTel, M1 (partially owned by Keppel via Keppel T&T), StarHub (Sing Tech) are all in a way politically-linked. Hsien Yang and sister-in-law Ho Ching might have discussed the comparative growth prospects of SingTel and M1 over weekend dinner on Oxley.
SPH and its MediaWorks now joined MediaCorp, and starts to make those artistes like Kym Ng sweat for leaving TCS back then.
SIA, NOL, Chartered, STATS ChipPac, are all government-linked.
Capitaland and Keppel Land go back to Temasek.
Listing candidates PSA Corp and Sing Power are monopolies in their respective sectors.
Now, what is truly perfect competition will be re-classifed as an socio-economic ideology here. Here, it will be termed "managed competition" or "regulated free market."
Essentally, a foreign fund who index its portfolio against the STI is essentially putting $$$ in the faith of the government, not buying the growth prospects of the economy.

bro, to excel, it is essential to have superficial and truth competition in any business.
let me use bro kenn statement for example;
starhub - anyone knows who else owned part of the telco?
mcs does. and mcs parent, temasek.
M1- who else is the shareholder of M1, singapore press holdings.
singtel - anyone?
so afterall, is the business compatibility and strategies to stay competitive in the market and not who owns it.
artistes who went over to mediaworks were looking for a new challenge and of course monetary aspects. and i am very sure they didnt sweat to move because during that time, they were being offered with higher remuneration and better environment and so on.
press and mcs didnt joined, but they have come to an agreement where press will own 40% share of the free newspaper and 20% shareof the FTA stations. but, press will have no authority in any managment decision, editorial contents and other business acquisition on mcs. they are just sharing the P/L of the business.
the merger decision is to let both giant to be more focus on the forte of the business and combat with better armed equipments.
be it social enconomics or free market business world, we still need the basic foundation or architecture in order to grow.
as for stock market, when i invest, the first question i will ask myself before any execution; do i know what i m buying..
sorry for being too wordy, :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:
