PM Lee: IRs help Govt to gain revenue and build our image

[streetsmart73]

What does this mean? Policies are based on whether our skyline is beautified?

1. aiyoh!
2. you die your biz mah!
3. what matters most: gdp & monies in sheep's pockets.

What pm Lee is absolutely true even though I personally don't like the idea of casino. I would rather we be less well off.

3. such shots are enhanced to look good.

How have the casinos helped the average Singaporean?

With the manufacturing sector at a dead-end, math-savvy engineer Sgns can look forward to becoming black jack dealers full time at the casinos. Finally fulfilling their career dreams.

Cheers!

Revenue for the government has gone up.
What about citizens. What benefit they get directly from the casinos or directly from the government revenue.

Datok,

What the ordinary citizens get is the increase in the retirement/withdrawal age to 70 or 75 of OUR Cpf in the near future (now 65). Reason is because they will lose at the casinoes, if not. They are saying that they are protecting our money. Good God !!!:(

Our PM is basically a typical Singaporean.

A person who has no depth. Because he merely focus on exterior good looks.

But not on intrinsic values.

Like father, like son.

If the father is a superficial asshole, the son will most probably be one too.

Last year, former Minister without portfolio Mr Lim Boon Heng told the media that the Cabinet was divided in the heated cabinet debate in 2005 on the decision to allow two IRs operating in Singapore. While speaking on the matter, he suddenly broke down. With tears welling up in his eyes, he said, “For me, it was a very difficult process to accept the casinos. I almost couldn’t make my speech in Parliament.” In any case, he said that he finally agreed to the IRs because they would create 35,000 jobs for Singaporeans. This was what he said before retiring last year.

However, Mr Lee did not mention how many jobs were taken up by Singaporeans in the 2 IRs.

Arsehole couldn't talk about the jobs created for S'poreans cos 95% of those employed in the two IRs are Ah Tiongs, Pinoys and Ah Nehs!

I think its called "branding". KL has the twin towers, Singapore the "triple shuffle"

 

[leetahbar]

A beautiful skyline is apparently very important to him and could even be one of the critical success factors of his cabinet.

Just wondering whether it was important to his predecessor as well. If it was, he should be subject to criticism as well.

he lives in high ivory tower. citizens are just too microscopic to him.

 

[leetahbar]

just wondering how many lives have unwittingly been sacrificed for those skyline? how many more would gambling continue to snuff out?

 

[Unrepented]

At least he is honest, he said what he thinks about the IR .................. this is worrying:(

"done a lot for our skyline" ..................................... really buay tahan

 

[monkey111]

He also said that the IRs have “done a lot for our skyline”.

About a quarter of visitors to Singapore’s 2 IRs are locals.

However, Mr Lee did not mention how many jobs were taken up by Singaporeans in the 2 IRs.

Let him say what he wants. We can see his plans with our own eyes. We are not blind.
