Well, alright and accept that. I don't know the history, but just found that foreigners from PRC in singapore should not be called with reference to that country. I have no problem calling them chinese nationals, but the old post is no longer editable...
Local vs foreigners is the issue what I originally intended this thread to be. And this is an issue in USA as well (.. so much hue and cry over H1B and L1 visas). And those countries which have sizable foriegn power, this is always (valid) point of discussion.
(India or say china doesn't have...
^^^ other things apart, the chinese lizard gives a "racist" angle to even this (by "thanking" not the issue being discussed, but his twisted racist thoughts) .. even without knowing anonymous user is a singaporean of whichever ethnicity - indian, chinese or malay.

Nominal exchange rate isn't that important.
How many people had 14-15 INR in 1950... and how many people have 100 INR today ??

We should build a lot of advanced landing grounds all over the north east, so that the fighters can operate for...
@ Anonymous user ... where in the world did you find me "arrogant" !!!!!
And needless to even add .. when have I said anything against singapore. I find it a very reasonable country.
well, visit chinatown .... good for you, perhaps.
albeit it isn't as clean as marina bay sands, either.
In singapore, if I ask someone, "Can you help me with -this- or -that- ?".. they reply, "Can, Sir".
[btw.. funny singlish, but they don't say "yes, please"]
It's this "Can, Sir" not the...
What is the total FDI in singapore since last 3 or 4 decades ?
Even the refinery belongs to Shell .. and it is a huge refinery, compared to the oil requirements of Singapore. So, really for exports. Now Shell, needs to employ the best in the world experts to run their costly refinery.

It isn't a deal, yet.
It's only an offer.
Don't run ahead of yourself.
We have co-development deals with Israel and Russia only, as of now.
US is a newcomer, as of now. And it is early days.
Prospects off course are promising.
Don't forget the Soviet atom bomb (fission and fusion) designs and samples + Mig-21, either.
Anyway, the equation is way different between USA and India (compared to SU / china).
China had nothing to offer for co-development .. and gave uranium to SU, apart from playing on soviet fears on...
Don't expect another instalment .... Here are the views of your all weether freend:
