Would DBS collapse this time round? Or would it be like past crisis that DBS managed to survive and thrive?
Which company is deemed more likely to survive than DBS if there is an O&G crisis?
Is holding cash the way to go? If DBS collapse, would holding cash in Singapore dollars be equally dangerous? Which currency then should we hold?
Many questions to answer...
DBS earning per Q is 1B. The worst no earn money in a quarter. Is still quite unimaginable it near a hint of collapse. A very profitable business in the middle of OG crisis.

I hope it is not 1 VB's forgetfulness that allowed you to make this conclusion. There's isn't even a faint scent of fear of DBS going down under, IMO.

err.. 1B to DBS is like.... misplaced 50cts coins... 
"Offshore services firm Swiber Holding's financial implosion was so rapid and sudden its biggest lender DBS Bank was caught off guard, DBS Group Holdings chief executive Piyush Gupta said yesterday. - See more at: http://business.asiaone.com/news/dbs-cau...GNDkt.dpuf"
if swiber can bring down DBS, it will be a record breaker!! 
1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same!
3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR!
4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

WB:-
1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.
NB:-
My signature is meant for psychoing myself. No offence to anyone. i am trying not to lose money unnecessary anymore.

I also dont think DBS will go under because of the current O&G crisis. I'm onto accumulating more DBS shares and any negative news is good opportunity to do so.
(vested, looking for more)

The hiring, is not due to its resilience, but heightening costs, due to compliance (due to more regulation), and IT (due to competition from FinTech). I saw it more negative than the headline, amid slowing economy
Singapore banks still hiring despite slowing economy

WHILE global banks are slashing Asia positions - especially in investment banking - banks operating in Singapore have thousands of vacancies, mainly in compliance and information technology.
Several banks told The Business Times that while recruitment may not be as hot as last year, they are still looking for hundreds of new employees.
DBS, South-east Asia's largest bank, and Citi, the largest foreign bank employer in Singapore, have about 600 vacancies each.

Expanding headcount seems an easy thing to do. But this will hit right into their cost structure deeply.
It will be more meaningful if they could adjust their Org structure and Priorities at this poorer time.

When talking about the cost structure, here's a Food for thought... ...1/10 of the CEO's annual pay costs about 10-20 normal employees.
How do we reconcile talent, financial results and shareholder's interest?
Still pondering...
