Sinkieland will pay dearly during such a disaster for its over-reliance on foreigners. No foreigner will be willing to put his life in the slightest danger for the greater good of Sinkies. At the rate of influx, most of the knowledge and skills will be possessed by foreigners and Sinkies will not be of much help during a crisis even if they are willing to help their fellow countrymen.

If we do go ahead with the nuclear plant, foreigners will leave singapore with their families when the first sign of a radiation leak happens. Only bangla workers will be left behind to sweep the radioactive waste. Haha.

I heard an very interesting statement from a few ah peks in coffee shop this morning. One uncle said... this disaster strike Japan too late.... it should have hit Japan 60 years ago, and it could have prevented World War 2 !!

I was abit shocked to hear this kind on insensitive statement... but I think it made some sense. If this has happen before World War 2, Japan will not have killed so many millions of chinese and Koreans, and would not have raped so many ladies too.....

What do you guys think ??
