OVERHEARD NEWS: BOTH (not just 1) IRs PROJECTS Opening DELAYED

Election should come just after the opening, not before. This is because the thousands of people who have found jobs and their family members would vote the MIW. Also, the thousands of construction workers would have left the shores. The statistics would be used to wayang that the MIW has been reducing the no. of foreigners. Actually, it is due to natural attrition, including from this year's recession, and not from a discretionary policy.

And why is the MIW talking about a cheaper and faster economy? It is because they can no longer rely on cheap foreign inputs (both labour + capital) to drive the fake economy.

1.there will be excess capacities after the completion of mega projects – shopping malls, business districts, gambling dens, huge private housing development, infrastructure, etc.
2.even if we are lucky enough not to face excess capacities, a deceleration of economic activities will send everything crashing down;
3.business costs will be higher (withdrawal of Jobs Credit Scheme, higher construction costs, little room for more tax reduction after 2010 as the MIW's budget is getting tight)
4.the expansionary fiscal budget will likely scale down and be the last in 2010 unless the MIW wants to incur huge deficits.

You can run but you cannot hide. All good things must come to an end. The inevitable will come. You can stretch business cycles but you cannot postpone it indefinitely. You cannot continue to build castles in the air. But of course, before that happens, the MIW would have already secured its win in the elections.
 
On Marina side is the LVS corporate financial troubles at their US homebase. On Sentosa side, I think (in my humble opinion only) that Genting made a big mistake. If I were Genting, I would only bid only if guaranteed full control of every inch of land of the island, except for government and police buildings, and guaranteed sole right to casino licence, i.e. just like Genting in Malaysia. With Marina and Sentosa, when a Singaporean really itches to gamble, where to go? Commonsense, s/he will go to Marina. Sentosa is pre-emptively deprived of the bulk of potential local patronage, even if they're the ones not minding paying the $100 entry fee.

Sentosa do or die on tourists and occasional Singapore visitors. If Sentosa is so good at that, then there's no need to put it up for IR bid in the first place.

AND IT WAS ALL FREE! YEP! FOC!!:) courtesy from genting highland.
 
u must understand cowards and losers nasty clones are spammers from the SDP IB.

have u seen them posting anything relevant to any thread before?:mad:
 
the 2 IRs projects were a desperate attempt for gabrament to approve thinking foolishly that more jobs would be created to locals. if we look around at the employees in the service line, most are FTs.

the economy is not out of the woods yet. the next few months after the opening, we might see retrenchments. of course, floating corpses in sentosa and marina sea might also be a common sight to behold.

INDIA: Casinos are a major attraction in the Indian state of Goa where the tourist dollar contributes significantly to the economy. But now, many are facing closure as the government cracks down on underage gambling.

Famous for its sand, sea and sun, Goa is a tourist hotspot. Its numerous beach-side parties attract many overseas visitors.

But Goans are not in the mood to celebrate. Casinos have seen their business fall, and many people are at risk of losing their jobs.

Narendra Punj, managing director, High Street Casino, said: "We've seen a drop of about 90 per cent in visitation in southern Goa casinos. In north Goa and Panjim, we've seen a drop of at least 50 per cent of business, which is really, disturbing us. We are managing to sustain as of now, but I don't think we can carry on like this for long."

Goa is the exception in a country where gambling is illegal. The state attracts 2.4 million visitors annually.

Recently, state authorities implemented measures to discourage local young people from gambling.

Digambar Kamat, Chief Minister of Goa, said: "There were a lot of complaints that middle class people's (families) children were going to the casinos. Probably they used to rob money from somewhere; they used to get money from their father's pockets. I wanted to discourage that. I don't have a problem if tourists go there or foreigners go there."

The entry fee to get into casinos has increased ten-fold from 4 dollars to 40 dollars. The state government has also doubled its taxes on gaming revenue.

Rocky, a casino goer, said: "I think it's too expensive. It is going to hamper us from coming here any more. It will restrict us from coming here. It is too much of an increase."

Analysts said the gaming industry can generate an annual revenue of up to 15 million dollars. But that is not likely to happen if casinos can only attract occasional visitors. - CNA/vm
