there is a need to realise on thing about the report... it is
him wanting to go to singapore to reside. It doesn't mean singapore
is wooing him to come and reside. Whether he succeed or not is
another question.
And if u talk about mugabe coming here to shop (i think tat is
pretty far fetch) or myanmar leader coming here for treatment. Why
not ? They r here to spend money and if u ask me, I think tis
money is easy money. I don't like these people but I certainly
like their money.
do you not screen who you want in? you are overly simplistic to
say, `oh, just becos so and so wants in, we can't stop him/her.'
Paul Francis Gadd is a convicted pedophile. he is
permanently evicted from cambodia. if singapore turns a blind eye
to this, well, i am just glad that i will be leaving here soon.
mugabe is here for medical treatment, not shopping. same
with the myanmar dictator(s).
singapore is also a known safe haven for corrupt money and
laundering from neighbouring countries.
but you may be right, here is singapore, only money truly
talks and walks. if you are rich, you will be fine. build a
hospital, the government will forget and forgive the tax evasion
investigation against you. singapore will even pay for mediocre
sports performances, just to inch ahead in its sporting glories in
an otherwise (generally) talentless singaporean sportsman.
we can turn a blind eye to everything else.
