Medical doctors getting jobless - BBC News 2009

The British Medical Association has warned that 10,000 doctors could miss out on training jobs in the NHS. What could they do instead?

It is not what Robert Thomas had in mind. Despite conquering medical exams for seven years his dreams of becoming a top consultant have been replaced by the prospect of the dole queue.

Despite a glittering academic record he says he has not been offered even an interview for one of the all-important NHS training contracts - and time is running out.

'Miserable times'

The contracts enable junior doctors to train to become GPs or consultants and move on to the next stage in their careers.

As the BMA says many of the 10,000 students will not find contracts this year, the question of what to do instead looms large.

But many young doctors are now so disillusioned with the medical profession they are, like Dr Thomas, considering a career change. Caroline Stones, 26, is searching for one of the training contracts after completing a number of six-month placements since her graduation.

She said: "Not getting a contract will leave a very big gap on my CV. I could work as a locum but there will still be the question of why I wasn't training.

"A lot of people in my position have already got jobs in Australia and New Zealand but I'm not prepared to leave the country. I'm settled here.

"I would be happy to leave the industry altogether. I'm considering retraining and doing something completely different.

"I'm sure there are companies which would want to use my people skills and management skills."

Jobless in UK

The number of people out of work in the UK rose 244,000 to 2.22 million in the first three months of 2009, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

The jobless rate rose from 6.7% to 7.1%. Unemployment benefit claimants in April rose 57,100 to 1.51 million.
The quarterly rises in the jobless rate and number were the biggest since 1981.
The figures were due to be released by the ONS at 0930 BST on Wednesday, but came out at 1400 on Tuesday after an "accidental early release".

The ONS has launched an inquiry into how the early release happened.
"The standout numbers are the big increase in the unemployment rate at 7.1%," said Brian Hilliard, chief UK economist at Societe Generale.

"We had been looking for 6.9% so that is a really sharp acceleration."
In another sign of the severity of the economic slowdown, average earnings including bonuses were 0.4% lower in the first three months of 2009 than they had been in the same period of 2008.
'Pretty awful'
Average earnings had not fallen since records began in 1991. The ONS said it was "mainly due to lower bonuses in the financial sector".
Excluding bonuses, average earnings grew by 3.0%, down 0.2% from the previous period.

"The smaller than expected rise in the UK claimant count in April is good news, but the rest of the labour market figures are pretty awful," said Vicky Redwood from Capital Economics. There were 455,000 job vacancies in the first three months of the year, which was down 51,000 from the previous quarter and 232,000 less than the same period of 2008.
"I fear that the unemployment rate... is certain to deteriorate much further. We're looking at figures of 10% around the turn of the year," Mr Hilliard said. The Employment Minister Tony McNulty conceded that the figures were "very bad", but took some comfort from the slowing rate of increase in the claimant count.

Recession & Jobless



Recession in the US 'has arrived'

Merrill said Friday's employment figures confirmed the recession
The feared recession in the US economy has already arrived, according to a report from Merrill Lynch.
It said that Friday's employment report, which sent shares tumbling worldwide, confirmed that the US is in the first month of a recession.

Its view is controversial, with banks such as Lehman Brothers disagreeing.

But a reserve member of the committee that sets US rates warned that it could do little about the below-trend growth expected in the next six months.

"I am concerned that developments on the inflation front will make the Fed's policy decisions more difficult in 2008," Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said.

He was referring to the problems faced by the US Federal Reserve, which might want to cut interest rates to avoid a recession, but is worried about inflationary factors such as $100-a-barrel oil.

'Significant decline'

An official ruling on whether the US is in recession is made by the National Bureau of Economic Research, but this decision may not come for two years.

The NBER defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months".

It bases its assessment on final figures on employment, personal income, industrial production and sales activity in the manufacturing and retail sectors.

Merrill Lynch said that the figures showing the jobless rate hitting 5% in December were the final piece in that puzzle.

"According to our analysis, this isn't even a forecast any more but is a present day reality," the report said.

Venice is sinking because of global warming



Tourists have been warned to stay away from Venice which has been hit by the biggest flood in more than 20 years.

A combination of heavy rain and high winds has led to the sea levels in the romantic Adriatic lagoon city rising 5ft above normal.

It was the fourth-highest level recorded over the past century and there were fears that the water could rise further if more bad weather materialises as forecast.

Many of Venice's streets, including the famous St Mark's Square, one of the city's lowest points, were submerged, forcing people to wade through knee-high water.

Ferry and water taxi services were suspended and some luxury stores were also flooded.

Boxes of tourist merchandise floated inside the swamped shops around the square and even the city's famed pigeons sought refuge on rooftops and windowsills.

Alarms went off at 6.37am to alert citizens, but many residents were taken by surprise because authorities had initially not forecast such a high water level.

Mayor Massimo Cacciari warned those planning a visit to "think again" adding that those already in the city should stay indoors.

"It's an exceptional acqua alta,' and unless you absolutely have to, don't go out," he said.

The city would not ask for a state of disaster to be declared since the flooding did not cause any deaths or trigger the collapse of buildings, the mayor added.

But the official overseeing Venice's architectural heritage warned the city was reaching its limits and said the water was receding at a worryingly slow rate.

The Foreign Office urged tourists to check the FCO website for any updates.

Workers were unable to install the raised wooden walkways used during flooding because the water rose too quickly under heavy rains.

In St Mark's Square tourists tried to stay dry by hopping on cafe tables and chairs sticking out of the water. The water was so high that one rowed a small speedboat across the wide square.

Adobe Flash Technology in Television Set

Adobe has secured a deal to put its Flash software into many of the chips that go inside TVs and set-top boxes.
It will enable developers and content providers to create applications to deliver web-based content such as news, weather and share prices to TV screens.

Flash will be included on most chips -those made by Broadcom, Intel, NXP and STMicroelectronics - but the deal does not cover TVs made by Sony and Samsung.
The first applications using Flash are expected to hit TV sets early in 2010.
Sony and Samsung already have a number of connected TVs on the market, but they are using Yahoo's rich media platform of widgets instead of Flash.

Samsung's Dan Schinasi shows off TVs that allow you to surf the internet at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2009.

More than 420 million TVs, set-top boxes, and media players are expected to ship globally in the next three years and increasingly they are capable of being connected to the net.
Adobe hopes it can get Flash inside many of those devices to create a new generation of connected entertainment services, including streaming video in high definition, and applications that can run in real time alongside video broadcasts, such as interactive news tickers, sport scores, quizzes and the weather.
It could also mean TVs being used for many of the tasks now given over to a computer or laptop, such as using a search engine, online maps, and consuming all manner of digital content.
Adobe has signed up video delivery service Netflix, Disney and the New York Times to make the first batch of applications.

Change is coming to TV and we will see more and more content get used
Flash director of technology strategy for Flash, Anup Murarka
The appeal for content makers and developers is the emergence of a single standard for rich media, which will let them create applications that run on many devices.
"Change is coming to TV and we will see more and more content get used and taken to TV," said Anup Murarka, director of technology strategy for Flash.
Flash is installed on about 98% of PCs and almost 80% of all online video is delivered using Flash, according to Adobe.
It powers services such as YouTube, the BBC iPlayer and a new generation of video games inside the browser, such as Quake Live.

Microsoft has been pushing its own rival platform Silverlight, but it has had limited traction with developers and hardware manufacturers.
The company says its second version of Silverlight has been installed on 300 million machines since it became available six months ago.
But analysts think Silverlight is unlikely to challenge Flash across PCs, mobiles and TV screens in the near future.

Flash is the engine behind YouTube and BBC iPlayer video
Microsoft does have the Xbox 360 in the hands of at least 28 million gamers and the machine could be used to drive take-up of Silverlight in the home.

It also has a few deals with the makers of set-top boxes to power the software that runs TV guides and on-demand services over the internet and this too could be a way to spread Silverlight usage.
Flash Platform Business Unit general manager and vice president David Wadhwani said he still hoped to see Flash on the Xbox 360, as it is already running on the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.

"I don't think it is beyond the realm of reason that we will see Flash on the Xbox.
"It would add clear value to their platform. But the decision is still theirs to make."
Adobe is aiming to become the global standard for all rich media in the "three screen" world - PC, TV, and mobile.
Up to 40% of all mobile devices shipped in 2008 are expected to carry Flash Lite. However, the big omission remains Apple's iPhone.

"We continue to work with Apple to bring Flash to the iPhone," said Mr Wadhwani.

Pay scale for IT Industry

DBS Bank cut 900 banking jobs

Singapore's DBS Group, Southeast Asia's biggest bank by assets is cutting 900 staff to trim costs amid the global credit crisis, after recording a slump in third quarter net profit, AFP quoted the bank as saying Friday.

Chief executive Richard Stanley said most of the cuts, accounting for six percent of the group's workforce, will be made by month's end in its Singapore and Hong Kong offices.

The job reductions were announced at a town hall-style meeting with staff on Friday.

"To be a streamlined organisation, I believe we must run a tighter ship... This is a painful decision for DBS and for me personally," Stanley told a news conference after the meeting.

"We have been vigilant on costs but as the economy enters a more difficult and uncertain phase, many financial institutions around the world and in Asia have made head count reductions," he added.

"To be more productive and efficient, we will restructure and streamline the organisation. Regrettably, this has resulted in the need to reduce our workforce."

DBS is the first major Singaporean firm to announce job cuts of such magnitude, and one analyst said it was a sign of more layoffs after the economy slipped into recession in the third quarter.

"Being the biggest local boy, it will send a very strong message to Singaporeans that what the government has been warning about (job losses) is happening already," CIMB-GK Research economist Song Seng Wun told AFP.

"There will be more retrenchments across all industries next year. Our view is that no industry will be spared."

Stanley, who was named to head DBS in February, said however that the cuts were not related to losses from its issuance of financial products linked to the collapsed US investment bank Lehman Brothers.

They also did not reflect the bank's financial position.

"DBS remains strong and sound," he said. "The tough measures we are taking now will enable us to confidently ride out this storm and emerge stronger when this global economic crisis is over."

Earlier Friday DBS said net profit in the three months to September fell 38 percent as market-related income took a hit from the global financial crisis and bigger provisions.

Third quarter net profit totalled 379 million Singapore dollars ($256 million), down from $610 million in the same period last year, it said in a statement.

Net interest income in the September quarter grew two percent to $1.07 billion from last year but net fee and commission revenues dropped 22 percent to $316 million.

Other non-interest income plunged 87 percent on the year to 11 million dollars.

The bank said it set aside $129 million in provisions, compared with just 10 million dollars a year ago, partly to cover its collateralised debt obligations, securities backed by a range of assets including risky home mortgages.

It also set aside $70 million as compensation to certain customers who bought its now worthless Lehman Brothers-linked products.

DBS was the last of three local banks to report earnings for the September quarter.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp said earlier this week third quarter net profit fell 13 percent while United Overseas Bank reported last week a 5.1 percent drop in profit for the same period.

Banking Giant Barclays cuts 2100 accounting related jobs

BRITISH banking giant Barclays said on Tuesday that it will cut 2,100 jobs in its investment banking and wealth management units, with some positions in Singapore at risk. Barclays’ operations in Singapore include Barclays Capital, Barclays Wealth Management and Barclays Global Investors, employing more than 2,500 bankers and back-end staff in total.
A Barclays spokesman in Singapore did not elaborate on possible job cuts here but The Straits Times understands that some staff were told on Wednesday morning that they are being laid off.

Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday that Barclays is making deep cuts across all its units.
It said about 1,300 jobs will go at Barclays Capital, 6 per cent of the investment banking unit’s total headcount, while 330 people will go at Barclays Global Investors, 8 per cent of that division. The remainder will be cut from Barclays’ private bank while the bank said last week that 408 information technology jobs will be axed in Britain.

Reuters reported that Barclays Capital employs about 20,500 people, Barclays Wealth Management about 8,000 and Barclays Global Investors about 3,800. A Barclays spokesman told The Straits Times on Wednesday: ‘We can confirm that we have begun a process to reduce headcount across some parts of investment banking and investment management to ensure that we are appropriately sized, given market conditions.’

The cuts follow more than 3,000 job cuts Barclays instigated last year when it acquired the trading and investment banking units of the now-bankrupt United States investment bank Lehman Brothers for US$1.75 billion (S$2.6 billion).
In November last year, the bank raised 7 billion pounds (S$15 billion), mainly from the Middle East, to shore up capital reserves depleted by writedowns. Analysts expect such downsizing to continue at financial giants like Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and UBS, which all have investment banking units that have taken a hammering over the past 12 months.

Citibank Singapore layoff many 250 accounting jobs

ABOUT 200 to 250 jobs are set to be shed from the Singapore unit of United States banking behemoth Citigroup, a source has told The Straits Times, as part of the worldwide loss of 52,000 jobs announced on Monday.

A handful of staff, mainly relationship managers, have been notified that they are being let go, other sources say.

Given the woes of the US parent Citigroup, there has also been talk that Citi Singapore is starting to tighten credit. The US banking giant is a major player here in credit cards, car loans and other forms of secured and unsecured credit. Any major tightening of this sort of credit would have widespread implications for consumers and businesses here.

But when contacted yesterday, Citi Singapore said that it does not comment on market speculation.

In terms of job losses, The Straits Times has learnt of only a handful of staff, mainly relationship managers at the Asia Pacific unit of Citi Global Wealth Management, who have been officially notified that they have been let go. People familiar with the matter have confirmed that the bank - which had earlier said that the cuts would be 'modest' - has started notifying affected staff here.

Affected staff at Citi's Global Wealth Management unit here were informed on Wednesday and yesterday. Staff there who had not been told by last night should be safe for now, sources say. However, sources also say not all Citi Singapore staff earmarked for retrenchment have been notified.

And not all will be told to leave immediately. 'It will not be a situation where they will be told to pack up immediately and have to leave unceremoniously,' said another source.

Over 9,000 people work for Citi Singapore, which remains one of the largest employers in the finance sector. If the 200 to 250 layoffs at Citi Singapore proves to be correct, that is just 3 per cent of its total headcount here.

The Straits Times understands the bank has kept the Manpower Ministry, the Monetary Authority of Singapore and relevant staff union bodies in the loop over its plans to cut jobs.

KPMG Singapore sacks 300 accountants

SINGAPORE: Accounting firm KPMG LLP (Singapore) will layoff about 300 accountants begin February.

KPMG said staff wages form the biggest component of costs outside of office rentals. However, it does not expect any retrenchments after the implementation of a series of measures to counter the impact of the recession.
It added that efforts to control business costs for non-essential operations have already been in place since the fourth quarter of 2008.

Channel NewsAsia understands that KPMG is the first of the “Big Four” accounting firms here to cut wages in the current economic downturn.

The other top accounting firms are Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Deloitte & Touche.
Responding to Channel NewsAsia, PwC said it would use its flexible wage system to help manage costs. Similarly, Ernst & Young said it prefers options like reducing the variable component of overall pay packages and bonus payouts.
Ernst & Young added that it expects to hire about 250 staff in Singapore in FY2009. In the past six months, the firm has recruited over 20 personnel in the region, including some from Singapore. The future of new accountants are dark for the next 3 to 5 years.

UEC not recognised by Malaysia

(Source - http://www.mysinchew.com/node/2114)

Malaysia: Government Has No Intention To Recognize the UEC
News 2007-10-23 09:40


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA: Government has no intention to recognize the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) of private secondary schools, because it is not conformed with national education system, said Education Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

He said government would never recognize UEC in whatever reason because it is not conformed with our national education system.

Hishammuddin restated government's position on above issue in a written reply to Gopeng MP Ting Chew Peh.

He said since government has recognized the certificates in some universities in China, it is reasonable for government to recognize the UEC in our country. (Sin Chew Daily)
