JEWEL - another project citizens wouldn't be benifitting.

[leetahbar]

let's look at the 2IRs. foreigners visit for free. locals have to pay $100 entry fee for 24hr.

next look at GARDEN BY THE BAY. each visit would set back one's poorer by at least $25. who would benefit? again, not the locals.

so now u gonna have JEWEL. how many billion$ gonna go down the longkang? when completed, who's going to benefit?

again, definitely NOT the locals.

such massive white elephant project would exhaust lots of money. no wonder MEDISHIELD LIFE is invented to zap our cpfs really dry :(

The Jewel attracts foreigners to visit and spend time in the country. This earns foreign exchange which is the lifeline of any economy.

Everybody will benefit from this magnificent project.

ms vivian also spent excess on the YOG and claimed enhance influx of tourists spending here. the fact was, there wasn't much except many inconveniences resulted.

YOG was a none event only sgp was obsessed with. the representatives were mostly pirated sgp youths mostly from the PRC.

again, definitely NOT the locals.

With due respect, Pinky, Old Fart, Wooden Goh and all his cronies will benefit. They are locals too.

The ruling elite will benefit but not the 90% of the locals (assuming the ruling elite and their families, their cronies constitute 10% of Sinkies)

If it is so simple, then economic development shouldn't be a problem. We should be growing double digit. Why not?

be that, they used the same lame trickery reasonings for 2IRs. what happen now? unemployment still prevalent. the only thing most happening is there are more floating bodies around our seas.

Project 'Jewel' is needed to support the construction industry, so as for Paya Lebar Airbase.

So people will come all the way here to see trees and gardens. An airport is a glorified bus station. People want fast processing, good connections, restaurants while they wait, and convenient toilets. An airport as a tourist attraction is lunacy. It is better they put the casino right smack against the airport if that is what they wanted. This is another prestige project by someone short of ideas.

Citizens don't have to visit the airport in order to benefit from the foreign exchange earned from increased visitor numbers you twit.

 

[rushifa666]

AN AIRPORT WILL DRAW TOURISTS? what are you on man? i want some of it. it isnt the eighth wonder of the world they are building there. Oh i want to visit singapore because THEIR AIRPORT IS GREAT! have you finally lost all perspective in your blind support?

What made you think "people" here meant citizens ? I meant which traveller ( foreigner )cares enough about a garden in the airport to make a difference in his travel plans. If they really want to earn foreign exchange put a casino in the garden. Trigger happy.

 

[Cestbon]

If taken up by private no one care. If tax payer money then it will be fuck.

u know people, when the pap fails in their endeavour, the whole episode is mostly concealed. the shit times might just briefly leeport it in such a way that its failure is not so noticeable perusal.

but if it's like something investing a few billions to profit a few hundred thousands, such miniscule news shall be greatly amplified by shit times and all the minitoots and million$ paid people which incidentally is a loss if u subtrate their million $ pays from the hundreds of thousands profits.
