Harra, MGM, Sands and Genting.
What do they have in common? Nothing MUCH 'cept that they are vying for OUR Marina Bay IRs...
But Genting? HELLO? What was the group of people who brought them in thinking? Why should we let them have a share of our tourism profits? Other than "unhealthy" pressure, what else have they given to us? On re-constructing the causeway, on the portion of the straits we occupied, on this pile of sand in the middle of the ocean and that...
Dunnoe why I'm so gun jiong oso, but everytime Dr M says something abt us, it's nv good, so everytime thay happens I get fired up- in my mind. BUt this time, it concerns sucha HUGE project in Singapore that WILL generate lots and lotsa money for people involved... so here's a piece of my mind.
Just four days ago, Dr Maarhaaarteer said something like "being friendly to S'pore has never worked" and blah blah shit.
"When I first became Prime Minister in 1981, I went to Singapore to promote good relations with its Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, but it was clearly evident they weren't sincere in wanting to be friendly to us," he said.
wah lao with this kind of big-talk politicians over there, just thinking of letting them have a piece of our money is irksome ok. And if they're really sincere about winning the bid, they should be careful of what say nowadays. (Not that S'pore should feel too high and mighty "just because" we're building an Integrated Resort ya noe~) From all I know, they, or at least more precisely HIM, are the ones who have been unfriendly all this while... when he retired, everyone thot Great, at least now we dun have to deal with him. But Nooo, he's still alive and kicking (up a storm iin his little teacup) coz like they say, OLD habits DIE HARD.
Hey I think all Singaporeans should have at least a little say in the winner... Since they're having a 100 points score systems, we should have a say, 20% say in it? Or maybe at least 10%... at least a say la!
I mean take US and Dubai for example. The President made a promise to Dubai to give them some of their ports and then his OWN people don't support him AFTER the deal is made. It's like WTF 0.o?! You make ur "enemy" bid like siao, den after they win, say Ok, now we rmb. You guys were invovled with some terrorist shit that crash 2 of our tallest buildings, so no, dowan give you liao- you can keep ur monea... We dun want that to happen in S'pore right? ;D
Anyhow, I'm not that worried about Genting. Just a wee-bit pissed that they a part of this.
To tell the truth, we're also rivals thru and thru. Right from the start back in 1945. Anyonbody who went thru Sec sch here wud know. The govt and all, of course they'll deny this because they want to be diplomatic.. They know- they need, to be diplomatic. Not like SOME people who shoot their mouth off like they can do without it... "I don't like my neighbour; I don't like America *whines* *whines*..." Haha -laugh in their face. Pffffft.
HAhahaHAA~!.. Glad I let off some steam man....
