Lesson to learn: When signing on the dotted line, make sure promises are in black and white or tape recorded.; April 28, 2010 9:46 AM

They think that these law firms got special privileges and connections to judiciary and govt.

Many times the ang moh tricksters will make the first move and just hire a junior person from a big-name law firm to issue threatening legal letters. The fees are actually not much different than a no-name lawyer. But those who received such letters see the big name law firm and get scared and back down and keep quiet.; April 28, 2010 2:45 PM

This is an issue of scam and fraud not race. The "Ang Moh" authorities have closed many of these companies down forcing them to move to places like Singapore where they continue to operate.; April 28, 2010 5:04 PM

Sounds like our regulator, MAS, is the sucker who thought free Money just drop from the sky i.e. arrival of Banksters or LandBanksters from Ang-Mo countries.

As you see, instead of closing down such scams, they just let it run and we ended up the victims.

Don't expect justice or help from MAS as this good-for-nothing organization is totally useless and salaries fully paid by tax payers. I guess the cause of this bad state is due to it's millionairs leaders. Incidentally, they are also paid by taxpayers.; April 28, 2010 8:22 PM

Do you think the 200 victims were wrong?

The World is beginning to understand how irresponsible and greedy these Notes creators who are out to prey on the unaware. Worst is our MAS who we, the taxpayers, paid millions a year to the chairman and deputy chairman did nothing to help. Maybe because Goldman Sachs sit on the International Advisory Panel of MAS
and what ever they sells is consider good with MAS eventhough MAS don't understand what GS is selling. Same goes to DBS since they are like left hand and right hand.; April 29, 2010 10:17 AM
Anonymous said...: Now I understand why MAS "feign ignorance" on the fraud charges against Goldman Sachs in the US.
Hmm, the latter is the international advisor of MAS, no wonder MAS could not answer the writer's question on the ST Forum
Editor, afraid of antagonishing the Angmo sifu, the fraudster in the US SEC's eyes.; April 29, 2010 11:52 AM
Unknown said...: Mr Tan - The Wikipedia site was recently hacked on the land banking entry by a land banking company or a pro land banking blogger. I have reverted to an earlier version but i am sure it will be hacked again.
This is a collection of links from the site related to UK news and Government sources. I have searched UK news sites but cannot find a single source making a positive statements on land banking so this is not deliberately biased.
