Predictions for the Year of the Ox

[master shang thean]

Dear Parkville Residents,

To those who may not know, the coming Chinese New Year is the year of
the Ox.

I wish to highlight a few items for our Chinese parkville people and
for the benefit of others.

1. Its predicted that countries in the north western (Germany, United
Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Canada, France) will face trouble in
their financial industry. Many industries worldwide will start to feel
the strain in the finance and slow growth.

2. There will be some shortages of resources and political crisis in
countries located in the South (Vietnam, Thailand, India and Pakistan)
Some heads of Government may be forced to resign. Riots and
demonstrations are expected.

3. Mother nature's wrath will be unleashed onto North East nations
such as Japan, China and Korea. Possibly of landslide leading to
frequent deaths and injuries. Coupled with shrinking economy, aid will
be needed from neighboring countries or allies.

4.Nations on the South West like UAE, Israel, Iran and other oil
producing nations will face natural disasters and accidents, this
coupled with losses with speculating on the oil sector and their
economy will suffer significantly. Major layoffs expected

5. Those countries located in the East like Hong Kong, Taiwan and
Macau will have ups and downs throughout the year, due to high cost of
expenses resulting in major losses in business and this will create a
slow growth as people are more cautious and negative overall.

I think its enough for now to digest. This is just my little
contribution to our community. I will continue to write more later.

Good luck!
