One day, there was this man who spoke to the media.
A day in the last quarter of year 2003,
CT: Year 2004 will be a better year for all singaporeans, given
the
rise in export and manufacturing indexes in our last 3 months
of
2003.....
HL: Yeah, yeah. That's look promising. Year 2003 is a worst year
with
SARS and wars spoiling the world's market.....
Another day in the first quarter of year 2004,
HL: I'm so sorry. What I had said last year dos not look good
this
year. Blame it in the bird flu. We have no control over such
an
epidemic.....
CT: Yeah, yeah......same like last year when we told all
singaporeans
it will be a good 2003 but again due to SARS, it
crippled.....right?
Singaporean: Gan Ni Na Buay Chao Chi Bye.....then I give taxes to
you
for F**K. I as well keep them myself and run the country
myself.
