Mugabe visits Singapore for health treatment before he continues
his presidential contest in Zimbawe. This is on Times Online. I
doubt Straits Times will report such news since there's negative
propaganda value in this.
After treating Burma's General Than Shwe and now Mugabe, it
seems like Singapore is the place to go for these internationally
infamous leaders. If they entrust their health with Singapore, I am
sure they put billions of their ill-gotten gains in the Singapore
banking system. This has ben speculated though there's no real
evidence due to the banking secrecy acts in Singapore. I find it
disconcerting that lives of genocidal leaders are extended through
our medical system or their wealth is managed by our banks. I am
sure it's good money for Singapore.
Though making money is the top priority for all Singaporeans,
one really has to wonder whether there's a need to balance morals
with wealth. Even if we do become the richest country in the world,
I am not sure one should feel proud of it ...
