You happen to see a few IMF delegates - out of the 1000 over
delegates, how few is your number that you happen to see ?
Probably all foreigners that happened to be in Singapore during
that period, will be considered to be IMF delegates - especially by
one who easily go gagagoogoo over the most mundane of
personalities.
Yes, I believe you that these Big Bankers and High Government
Officials will visit Adam Road Hawker Centers just to eat Prawn
Noodle, all dressed in suits, when free meal is provided in air
conditioned comfort at Suntec; and almost everyday is an all day
program through lunch and dinners. [/b][/color]

There 16,000 delegates and observers for the IMF meeting and during
my 30mins at Adams Road, I already saw 3 of them accompanied by
Singaporeans.
All I need to do here is to proof to you that you theory of
Singaporeans doenst benefit from such event are BS. I repeat BS
with a capital B.
And yes, they were all wearing suits. you must be a damn bloody
shallow minded person to be surprised isnt it?
So I presume you are you indirectly saying that the hawkers and
their food at Adam Road are not qualified for these delegates? I
wont be surprise that it is the organiser idea to bring them to
taste local food so that they know what this country is all
about.
Only your expertise with this
subject will enable you to be such an expert with the subject of
bull shit and what it is all about.
Shallow mind ? Now I wonder where did these words come from ?
Plagiarizing a style of delivery without applying it in the right
context will make one look silly.
Some suited guys are probably dumb to be wearing suits to a hawker
center in this equatorial - (not even tropical) - climate, now I
wonder if even these suited guys are particpants from the IMF-World
Bank Conference, which is supposed to be occupying delegates having
full day programs that include official receptions and
banquets.
For your education, a blogger also commented on the IMF-World Bank
event:
Learning a lesson IMF-World Bank Meet
Poor estimate of 16000 visitors for the IMF Meeting I dont know
where they got their estimates but they should have appointed
somebody to double check bookings at hotels around the area as well
as flight details of delegates from airlines.
RESULT: Cabby Drivers had to wait for hours just to ferry 1-2
passengers
Singapore 2006 organisers have asked Comfort Delgro to standby 300
taxis at the two terminals, and over the last two days, such
messages have sent hundreds of limousine cabbies to the airport
only to wait some 4 to 10 hours - for just one or two
passengers.
This mini-disaster was never
published, but there was a Straits Times report that made a low
profile appearance during October or November 2006 - reporting the
retail industry did not see any spike in turnover as a result of
the increase in arrivals in September 2006.
