Singapore in trouble?

Singapore has a stunning 60% of GDP in European Bank claims.
Is it a coincidence that Singapore is warning of European default risk?

The volume of searches for the phrase 'Bank Run' has just hit an all-time high - higher now than 


even during the peak of the Lehman Brothers 'moment' in 2008.



It appears Singaporeans are running the most scared of bank runs.



Europe is in big trouble (though people are going to realise US is in a worst shape). A few years ago, I observed that the English Premier League, and some other European football leagues, looks like a bubble. They borrowed massively and paid bloated salaries to the players. If these clubs go insolvent, will we see a scenario whereby the banks seize the clubs' players?
