On a commercial basis, after spending MILLIONS in legal and any
other fees is there any other better reasons for abandoning the

You mean its good to throw good money after bad?
Don't you know we actually made money by having Dubai pay through
their nose?
Millions in legal fees? How much does it cost to submit a bid? We
made $60million in return.
Did you delude yourself that we made money by letting Dubai
complete their successful takeover ?
Can a "no brainer" comprehend the actual size of the legal fees for
a transaction that is worth Sterling 3.92 BILLION ?

Do you think that Dubai Authorities will make life easy for PSA to
run Dubai Port, if PSA succeed in swallowing up P&O
?

Do you think the Arabs will sabotage themselves?
Do you think arabs are as bigoted as you?
Did you not claim in all your posts that the Arabs - being
Muslims - are the most likely group of people to be terrorists ? .

It was quite clear that you were the source of thinking that the
Arabs are "no brainers" and can match your impeccable skill at
being "no brainers" ? . 
By your standard of bigotted understanding of the Muslims, I am
sure the Arabs and myself cannot outperform your high standards of
bigotted language. .

After the recent successful visit to the Middle-east by SM GCT,
cementing a more binding diplomatic relations between the various
Middle-eastern countries and Singapore, will it be of any use to
compete in outbidding Dubai for P&O ?
Didn't you cry foul of lost legal fees? So now what you want? Bid
or not bid? How stupid of you?
Yes, it was stupidity on the part of the supreme ability of our
self-proclaimed intelligent Elite, who has no control over the CEO
of Temasek. . 
Was it not clear that SM GCT had only recently completed a tour of
the Middle-east to cement closer economic ties ? . 
Having bridge and cement good relations with the various sheiks of
the UAE, is it not quite ridiculous that the attempt by PSA to
terminate its effort came so suddenly ? . 
If Temasek insist on PSA to make a counter offer, only the POWER OF
ONE can stop Temasek, can anyone else ? . 
If you are a "no brainer" familiar with only "one liners" - can
anyone fault you in your inability to go beyond "one liners" ? .

As for "stupidity" - can you differentiate the difference from what
you see in the mirror ? .

There are many other ventures that will be even more beneficial
with the co-operation of the Dubai Authorities.

Like?
Perhaps you should look up the various agreements that SM GCT
had signed up with the UAE - if you have the interest to do any
research.

Its no wonder you didn't realise how much UK and Singapore managed
to fleece Dubai together and cut their funding elsewhere.
This is the kind of "no brainer" understtanding with the usual
shallow "one liner remarks". . 
"How much did UK and Singapore managed to fleece Dubai together and
cut their funding elsewhere" ? .
Is this another baseless "no brainer" deulsion ? .
