Myo, before you say that you will make a fortune when the casino open, you better be sure the casino opens first. If not, you'd just look the fool when you bring your money bags to the site that has been abandoned, and has only half-built stuff hanging around.

You can't bet money on the cement that is around you, ya know. Picture that.

Oh Stonehenge isn't actually a white elephant, because its actually one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world. Thus it generates a real tourist income because it was created in an age when there was only manpower with no electricity, and not machine power.

IR nowdays however are not wonders of the world, and neither are they like say the Eiffel Tower, or the Statue Of Liberty. So if it becomes a white elephant, then they would just join the ranks of Tang Dynasty and Haw Par Villa, yet another example of a government business initiative that gone bust.

As a Singaporean, I'm still pretty embarrassed, looking at this miserable record.

from the track record, nothing they did was ever a success. everything was kicked off on a luke-warm momentum. they wanted to boost tourism, allocated budget to TPB to initiate many things, but somehow 8 out of 10 proven to be failure, and didn't really draw as many tourists as they projected. they report rise of visitor headcount, but they didnt exclude locals, mainly boosted by; school excursion visits, family outings, senior citizen organized trips. they present those figures just to smoke themselves.

1 glance, we know what is the realisitic ratio of local visitor vs tourists.

even if they rush to make the marina IR ready by end 2009, the vicinity will still look like a construction mess. that kinda of setting, they expect touring gamblers to visit the casino looking like;

Given the present financial turmoil & current Sands financial health, there will not be 10,000 jobs available as depicted in the newspaper. :(

I think if that is the case, gov will definately step in to finish the project. There are too many interest at stake, 3 banks, jobs for FTs, and most importantly, SAVING FACE.

They better hope the bottom doesn't fall out for their investments in the West, in that case. The casino industry is linked so closely to the property market, especially in Las Vegas, the HQ of these companies.

How can he expect 2 grand mausoleums now that Spores golden age is over. After all those losses, all those pay hikes,.... If plenty of Spore peasants are in financial trouble, who are they going to squeeze? :confused:

all those jobs is to cater for people who suicide die due to too much debts, also cater for people who die of heart attack from high cost of living & stress level, also to cater for people who hunger or fall sick & die, bcos medical expenses too expensive.

then, next time will also have fund raiser to raise funds to finance for funeral services for those who can't afford.

Exactly... Traditionally, banks are the major corporate spenders for MICE. Now with the whole industry fucked up by the subprime scam, a big market chunk is permantly gone.

It's bad enough with one IR. We have TWO.
