Morning Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Casino will not be delay, it will open as per planned, if really got no foreigner coming in, we still have the domestic market to rely on, we shall then have 4 color cards for Ah ma and ah gong, matchstick game for local workers, Big and Small cau lag dices for the public and Foreign workers and finally, most important, Singapore Mahjong for the elites and public.

As for the circle line, even if it fail to complete in time, dun worry, we still hv circus tracks and circus show to entertain the crowd.

As for the downturn, actually it is an opportunity for Singaporeans, the injection of foreign workers need more dormitories, our Singaporeans can work as electricians, maintenance technician, toilet installation, toilet cleaners, room service chambermaid and man, we also need dormitories managers, accountants and food suppliers.

So I guess pay hikes for ministers to bring the country out of recession?

Exactly, pay hikes for Ministers will prompt Singaporeans to work harder so as to paid higher taxes to support the hike. In term of such social ecology, the hiking place an important role to stimulate the public into workable peoples and not lazy and talk alot types.

And hopefull, if singaporeans work harder and efficiently, we could get the Best Workforce award again Under the BERI standard.

Yeah, last time you always read that Singaporean workers were the best or most competitive or something to that effect. Used to be number 1 in that category.

These days, it's can we get cheaper workers than the ones we already have.

Haiz.

What to do?

People up in the ivory tower thinks everything is hunky dory because they are guaranteed million dollar salaries every year.

You think they understand the pain and suffering the common people go through when the economy is in a recession?

that is the main flaw of capitalism, it only flavor the rich and powerful, never the lower and weak. Life goes on.

Treat recession likes take a break from economic growth ie take a rest so that we can go further in future ie something like a recess in a school . So keep calm and don't panic.

Sure, for us, we lost nothing, cool and steady, but for a person who lost millions or laymen who lost 250,000, if u tell them this, they may whack you.

Nah i disagree. The powerful and rich are always rewarded. It's been like that since the world started. It's not the fault of capitalism.

But then again, why should people who are lazy be rewarded in the first place?

Lee012lee SG

Wa, lose money gives one the right to whack people, is it ?

If one makes an investment and if the investment turns out losses, one cannot blame others. Just like when the investment turns out profit, one needs not have to share it with others. It is one's decision. OK.

Nah, i disagree, some people are real hardworking, it is not a matter of laziness, it is the matter of smartness. By average, in this world 2,000 poors men bring up 1 rich man, and with the cash in hand, he manipulated the poors into division of labour for him, from MD down to workers and general toilet cleaners. He will do his upmost to depress the poors further so that he get richer, for without more poor, how can he get richer??
