We just changed presidents anyway that said Mr Nathan did a good job while in office. Its no secret all power in Singapore is held by the Lee family and its the prime minister and senior ministers that hold the power (evident from the security personnel they have). Ultimately be it Indians or...

Anyone knows what the Ore Grade is of this mine? I googled around but information is sparse.

Actually I always found this Infrastructure fund raising quite interesting, 1 Trillion dollars is a staggering amount of money and in most countries Infrastructures are paid for by the government due to cost and with operation later privatized for efficiency. Given the 1 trillion is being...

No Hong Kong or Singapore, what the ?!?!

That's a pretty good and accurate breakdown you got there, which data system /report are you getting this from?

That makes sense, no company will buyout just purely using reserves of its own. Tata Steel's Reserves at 31st March 06 was 2.177 Billion USD, its reserves at the end of 31st March 07 was 2.99 Billion. Its reserves purely will not be able to take on the whole purchase, an SPV (special purpose...

Wouldn't last two minutes in Singapore, though I must say our cab drivers are pretty honest.

No I am just saying grow up and stop your pointing fingers around, if you want go there and petition or join a human rights protest and get there to do something. I know my stand and its more pathetic to see someone whining on the internet and not do anything.

I wouldn't go to the extent of that but I'm just using it as an example. Bottom line this is the reality of the world we face today

As I said history repeats itself, Roman empire left its mark, British left their mark, Chinese won't be the last. Nothing changes because greed is what makes mankind evolve. Regardless if its today, tomorrow or the future. Tourism of a country without changing its culture is one thing, Tourism...

History repeats itself no? The colonization of America and Australia caused even greater impact on the native societies and worse if compared to Tibet, but here is the west hollering about Tibet. Funny thing is the Europeans complain far less then America despite them having a better moral...

Thanks I'm a train kinda person :D, will be nice to travel down and take a look one day

Nice I had no idea Xinjiang was so developed, are there any trains from the eastern region to get there?

I don't agree with that totally, its true Singapore economic prosperity is tied to the world economy which China makes up a large portion of. No country will escape mayhem if the market goes south and that's the truth. But I do not believe the market property market will fall more then 25% even...

Agreed on that This is just the traits of being colonized early by the British Empire, it has it good points and bad ones though I'm not sure if its that big a deal since we all mostly speak 2nd languages or even 3rd ones. Hell its the reason why we can cross communicate on this forum in the...

Don't generalize us just because you're some 3rd generation know it all American Chinese. And don't even bring Indonesians into this, I have friends that endured thru the racial riots and saw people hung from lamppost during those time. Those that don't speak English survive in a tougher...

Agreed on this bit

Tourist generally get hassled by the locals who need to make money, do you really think if everyone could get decent jobs they would like to to do that. It happens everywhere including Indonesia, Philippines and lesser developed countries including your own. Stop generalizing you racist twit.

At the end of the day its just business, not sure whats with all the flaming bashing going on. The countries that we are from all have some history or working with Genocidal countries and dictators at one point. At the end of the day is anyone really that stupid to believe that all countries...
