Another adverse consequence of Ho Ching becoming Mrs LHL might also be seen in the appointment of Saw Phaik Hwa as CEO of SMRT Corp and the disastrous repercussions arising from such an unwise decision.

I fault LHL for this...for 9 years as the commander in chief...HE DID NOT INTERCEDE.....

As I've stated in other posts, Buy-High-Sell-Low could never have continued in her current position without the order and support of Old Fart.

Old Fart got his cronies to promise that they'd support Ho Jinx as long as Lee Dynasty is in power.

Some scholars remarked that the Old Fart was just plain selfish..

He puts Ho Ching in charge...all because he wants a good night sleep every night..

Some abuses of power were blatantly clear. It was just that GCT and the other pap leaders have no courage to stop the abuses

If something is not right and fishy, should'nt this matter be brought up to CAD or a police report made.??

Was the AIM saga not right or fishy?

Was the ruling that "inside a voting centre is not within 200m of the centre" not right or fishy?

we can go on and on. If the law is not applied fairly, we see the beginning of doomsday for the country. Has the law been applied fairly in SG regardless of political affliation

How could an eunuch order the execution of the emperor? 天理难容啊!

I agree. That's why I hv no respect for GCT, LKY and LHL.

It is all a charade at the expense of Singaporeans.

Many cronies think they benefit...but they are all victims, including GCT, in this vicious game of thrones by the dictator

Country China

Website Official site


Jumbo Kingdom (Chinese: 珍寶王國; literally: "Treasure Kingdom") consists of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant (珍寶海鮮舫) and the adjacent Tai Pak Floating Restaurant (太白海鮮舫), renowned tourist attractions in Aberdeen South Typhoon Shelter, within Hong Kong's Aberdeen Harbour. Over 30 million visitors have visited Jumbo Kingdom, including Queen Elizabeth II, John Wayne, Chad Garvin, David Bowie, Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow and Gong Li.[1] There was also a Jumbo Kingdom Manila in Manila Bay, Philippines, but it was closed after 8 years of operation. Jumbo Kingdom is part of Melco International Development Limited, a company listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.



History



Floating restaurants appeared in the typhoon shelter shortly after World War II. The Sea Palace Floating Restaurant (海角皇宮) was sold and towed to Australia.[2]

The Tai Pak Floating Restaurant was established in 1952.[3]

On 30 October 1971,[3] a fire occurred at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant before its opening.[2] Up to 34 workers were killed.[4][5]

The Jumbo Kingdom was established in October 1976 by Dr. Stanley Ho after four years and over HK$30 million were spent to design and build it.[1] It was originally decorated in the style of an ancient Chinese imperial palace.

In 2000, two tugboats brought one of the floating barges (Palace) from the Aberdeen Harbour to the mouth of Manila Bay, and it was rebranded as the "Jumbo Kingdom Manila". Much of the original ancient Chinese imperial palace style renovation was retained. The Manila restaurant closed in 2008.

The Jumbo Kingdom went through a major multimillion-dollar renovation in 2003, which transformed it into a theme park on the sea including dining, shopping, sightseeing and cultural attractions.

GCT made it pubic and said he would launch an investigation. Richard Hu came back and said nothing wrong despite SGX saying that the company was not cooperating. GCT chickened out the day before the Parliamentary Hearing. Here actually stated that he was satisfied. The MAS Managing Director who raised it to him paid with his job. Wee Cho Yaw had to rescue him.

The Nassim Jade was a classic case. But did GCT have the courage to bring the wrong doers to task?

He does not wear the pants in his own family, how to intercede? She has a bigger pair of balls then him. I mean if he pisses her off, what will she do? Withhold sex from him?

Launching an investigation means nothing. GCT didnt have the courage to complete what Koh Beng Seng started. LKY accepting extra discounts from Ong Beng Seng beyond what's given to others is wrong. But alas, GCT chickened out and showed himself to be ballless

Like I have said in the first post, you cannot do insider trading if you have no one on the inside.

The whole business was one of the best acting job by Wooden. he should have gotten the Oscar that year. In all likelihood, he was also a recipient of a discount. He made it look like he was doing something very active by involving MAS, Richard Hu, etc. All he had to do was to order the one agency trained to investigate these corruption cases, and sitting in his office doing fuck all, to investigate Old Fart, Gecko and the whole lee clan. This agency is called CPIB. They are in his own office. He open the door shout down the hallway and they will spring into action. Really a big wayang by him.

The Wall Street Journal report in the first thread says that Temasek lost $56 billion. Seeing as how WSJ was not sued for libel for that article, (and lets face it, the PAP has no qualms about suing WSJ), I have to assume its true. Temasek also claims to have annualized return of 17% on their portfolio. So, 7 years ago, if the $56 billion had not been lost, if they had taken a cash position instead of buying those useless companies that went under, that $56 billion would be worth $168 billion today at 17% per annum!!! That is more then half the value of the present day Temasek portfolio!! If this $168 billion was really made possible, (and likely not), but just say for argument sake, it was. Then do you think SMRT would be under so much pressure to raise profits and raise the ticket prices. Would CPF minimum sum be continued to increase to keep as much CPF money as possible with the govt? I think most like not.

I think most sinkies understand that the PAP is not a completely clean party. But they accept it for what it is because there is no better alternative in their minds. Also, they look at neighbouring countries and think that the corruption could be much worse. They are too stupid to see that it is indeed much worse here then it is there.
