Dear Mr. Tan,
You letter is good and straight to the point.
You raised 2 issues.
1. Good planning in Singapore
2. Better reporting in our news medias.
I answer for you.
1. How to have good planning in S'pore when the best brains and talents have either left or do not want to get involved with the CIVIL SERVICE? Only the BEST PORLUMPARS are there and they work with their mouths and tounges.
2. Better and more accurate reporting in S'pore? Not when the SCUMs are still around.
As it is, the 1st Day of casino opening was an EMBARRASSMENT to say the least for ALL involved in the project.
For DAY 2, they announced that 75,000 people visited Sentosa. I understand all UNION members were 'encouraged' to visit Sentosa and Casino to give the impression that it is successful.
Just 1 thing. I want to know how many S'poreans actually went in the last 2 days to the casino. Very easy to find out as they are the stupid ones that paid $100.
Will RWS release this information? I doubt that as most are foreign workers. A stupid friend who visited the casino told me this casino has NO CLASS compared to others around the world.
I do not know if he was referring to the structure, composite, the quality of people in there; or simply ALL 3.

Slow start for Integrated Resort in Sentosa
The newspapers reported that there was a long queue in the foreigner entrance and a short queue in the local entrance for the integrated resort. I thought that it meant a successful start for the resort.
A friend told me that the people in the foreigner queue were not tourists but the foreign workers in Singapore. They went to the resort to enjoy the free drinks, cheap meals, showers and new facilities. Few Singaporeans went to the resort as they were deterred by the $100 entrance fee.
Something is wrong. The expensive facilities are now enjoyed by the foreign workers, and not for Singaporeans. This is an unintended consequence.
Of course, this is early days, and the discrepancies will be sorted out. But, it is a bad sign. Surely, we are capable of better planning in Singapore?
It is quite sad that I could be misled into the wrong impression. I hope that the newspapers would be more upfront in giving the correct impression.
