i believe if you have a strong business plan, you wont fail.

everyone can blame the economy when it is bad but are you saying no company will survive during bad economy?

example of two companies that was doing extremely well during this current economy crisis is Hap Seng and Ekovest. These two companies are not selling ordinary goods which ordinary people can afford to buy. They are selling luxury products which costs a fortune to some. Yet they sold even more as compared to better economy days.

I think people are forgetting 1996~1999.

The amount of suicide cases on businessman & investors facing bankruptcy.

I'm sure if in Japan, it's common for employees do suicide over the lost of their jobs.

My father is one the people got VSS. Till now i resent Sapura for it.

Well, I am not cursing people to get VSS or worse, laid off. But it is just a proof that being an employee is not that rosey.
