"The process has not been overly legalistic and is not subject to political pressure. This way we serve the interests of all parties, and also serve the wider public interest of growing Singapore’s reputation as a credible and reliable international financial centre" - Minister Lim Hng Kiang in parliament.

Now we know. The Singaporean Minibond holders are being sacrificed by the Goverment to appease the banks so that they will stay on in Singapore. I don't see the Hong Kong goverment and authorities doing the same to their citizens. They too are fighting with Singapore to be the international financial centre of the world. We should change our Singapore pledge - remove the word "justice" from "based on "justice".; July 23, 2009 9:22 AM

I don't attend and watch NDP, it is just another wayang show put up by PAP and SAF. I don't understand why some S'poreans are so obsessed by NDP, may be they are the supporters of 66.6%.

I don't hang S'pore national flag during national day. S'pore national flag is just another PAP flag.; July 23, 2009 2:45 PM

"问题是他心里有两本账，一本明的专门在公开场合唱高调，显示自己紧跟党。另一本暗的则在心里深藏不露，觉得那些无非是说说而已的套话。“为谁说话”才是他的真心话，表明他根本不把“民”放在眼里，也不把党的政策当回事儿。而是上有政策，下有对策，一切以自己的利益为依归。一到紧要关头，这种心思就免不了流露出来。"; July 23, 2009 8:21 PM

products cases.
1.HK authority dares to look into
the faults of FIs and enforces
law and order for the interest of
HK citizens. Whereas our finance
minister worries the reputation
of FIs being tarnished by the
meaningless fine even though SG
citizens had been swindled 600m
by these cheating syndicates.
2.HK lawmaker Ms Ip scorned at SG
and claimed HK FIs were more
generous than SG. In fact, HK
citizens dare to challenge their
authority and asked the top man
of MAS to be removed. Could we
do that in SG?
3.People strongly felt that the
interest of FIs were so well
protected speaks a lot of prove
to say that justice is not
important. "官商勾结" becomes an
evil syndrome of our society.; July 24, 2009 4:54 PM
