Haiz, 3 dead bodies found at the start of 2014. Is this a bad omen? Or will the PM come out and say they are all "isolated" incidents, so nothing to be worried about.

They are isolated incidents. After all, the majority of Sinkies are still alive.

When the 2 casinos were built, this statement was already taken into account. Afterall majority of sinkies will still be alive. BUT...even the prediction was all sinkies (except the elites) will be dead, the casinos will still be built..
