Earlier this month, I spoke to Anthony Neoh, Chief Advisor of China Securities Regulatory Commission, on a third stock exchange set to be launched in China: “The population's growing old and you do need good savings instruments… ttherefore, a capital market which does that,” he said. Neoh also called Beijing’s regulatory crackdown on internet companies a "temporary glitch" in the markets. “A number of people are saying, is the China market investable? But that's not the point. The important thing here are the fundamentals. Every investment exercise, one looks at the fundamentals. There are short term problems, and these are the short term problems.” “I think within a year or two, everything will be quite settled.”

“It is so decided” After 5 long years of organizing, I watched the world, 193 countries in the UN General Assembly hall, unanimously approve Rape survivors access to justice to be an official agenda item. That means for all years moving forward, survivors will be an agenda item world leaders must discuss. It cements that we matter. Our rapes matter. Our justice matters. CW: This campaign started 5 years ago when survivors around the world reached out in response to the federal survivor bill of rights passing. Jessica was one of them. When she was raped in another country, all of the systems meant to protect us - healthcare, law enforcement, legal - failed her. They failed because basic rights for survivors have not been codified and no one takes responsibility when multiple countries are involved. Unfortunately, she’s not alone and millions of survivors of rape and sexual assault lack access to fundamental justice. The United Nations General Assembly purports to leave no one behind but, before today, rape survivors were not recognized by the body as a people deserving to have an official issue. The securities council has recognized rape in war, but most rape - millions upon millions like mine and Jessica’s - happen outside of war. We changed that today. We changed the world today. There’s still a long road ahead for us to secure the full worldwide survivor bill of rights. But today we celebrate this win. This agenda item is significant. I know I know - it’s a lot of red tape but death by bureaucracy is how they silence our voices. I’m sharing this with you all not only because I am immensely proud of how we changed the world today but also because I want you to know what the process looks like at the United Nations. I am deeply grateful to Sierra Leone, the country that stood up to Champion this issue. I am deeply grateful to the @risenow.us organizers who have fought relentlessly for this moment. I am grateful and hopefully that a small group of people can indeed change the world.

❓What’s your favourite F-word? Oh I mean, what’s your favourite F-word when it comes to Financial Planning - Finances / Freedom or Future? Mine has to be Future! To be honest, when it comes to finances, I was so naive and careless in my younger days. I should have started early you see! Now that I’m a parent, my focus is on savings and investments that will help and support my kids - whether it’s their education or other needs.😘 At the same time, I have to plan for my own future too - life after retirement, medical needs and any other sudden expenses. So yes, when it comes to investing, FUTURE is my consideration. I have been reading up on some of the funds managed by Franklin Templeton and one of the topmost decision-making factor is my level of confidence. My mom has invested in funds managed by Franklin Templeton for many years and I am finding some of their fixed income funds quite suitable for me too. These funds invest primarily in bonds or other debt securities and generally pays a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. Through my bank, I am able to enquire more about the products available from Franklin Templeton to start planning for me and my family's FUTURE 💵How do you zero down on investment options? Do you think we have to make our kids start early when it comes to investment? Give me some tips in comments. #myinvestmentfword #franklintempletonsg @franklintempleton . . . #rainbowdiaries #sgparents #sgkids #sgmoms #investment #investing #investingtips #saveup #futurediary #retirementplanning #familygoals #viral #explorepage #sgig #igsg #globalinfluencer #doitnow
