Breaking: Mega Pasa Malam in Bishan played out by PRC

Re: Breaking: Mega Pasa Malam in Bishan ruined by PRC

During Reservists there was session for Officers to improve on their communication skills. A chap who runs a business from China gave a 20 minute presentation. He gave a well rounded speech but the essence was that you trust the PRC chap at your peril.

Recently a friend told me a price war between a migrant Malaysian Chinese stallholder and a migrant PRC Stallholder at a food court in Australia. They both offer buffet spread for $8. However the PRC lady will tell customers that pass by that its $6.50. This has been going for sometime. The new price is $4 by the PRC while the Malaysian chap has lowered it to $6.50. They had negotiations but the PRC lady keeps insisting that her plate is smaller. By the way, I was told her dishes are crap.

These are not cases of cutting losses after making a bad judgement. These are unacceptable behaviour. The same behaviour is seen in India and Philippines, and MNCs tend to handle these chaps with great care.

In a businesss sense, I find nothing wrong with forfeiting stalls if losses are imminent, as long as they bear whatever forfeiture penalties stipulated, e.g. loss of deposits, blacklisted from future booking of stall berths etc.

Exactly, In two Latin words, caveat emptor. Wonder why who needs a 20-minute Chinese presentation to get the idea, and many still don't get it.

This is not caveat emptor, this is along the line of lacking in integrity. Its a huge gap. It shows the quality of people that are let into this country. Something is wrong with the policy when we let in rubbish like this.

Now you know why the 20 minutes lecture was necessary. Most Singaporeans can't tell the difference. The real estate industry has an unofficial blacklist of people whose word means nothing and whose commitment and integrity are zero. The fastest growing category are from PRC. Hong Kong Chinese on the hand are well regarded. Their word is their bond.

From Sun-Tzu to Mao Tse-tung, over almost 3,000 years, these Chinese sages kept on saying, know your enemies before you go to war. Don't listen and heed, what to do? What has moral acceptability or integrity got to do with business? A counterparty is an enemy, just like in court arguing a legal case, both sides are mutually adversarial. Yes, sometimes businesspeople do have soft hearts or soft spots, and you gladly and gratefully benefit therefrom. However, those are gifts, not obligations. There're only one business rule: No breaking of laws within the jurisdiction. However, even so, you must pre-consider: Your ability to seek recourse. The other side will pre-consider: How far can I get away with it.

When PRC economy opened to the outside world, guess who were the first ones to con the then naive PRC chinese. PRC ppl are most weary of HK and Taiwan chinks, for your info.

The whole concept is Bullshit. Sell in Chinatown is the best, there is still room for improvement and it draws tourists too. KISS - keep it simple stupid

Get even, dun get mad.

That's why it's so satisfying to fuck a PRC's every orifice - mouth, anus, cunt. Every time I am pissed off with one of them, I will look for their counterparts and dehumanise them. There're so many of them, just pick one representative.

After all it's just business, it's nothing personal!
