Re: Which world leader will not make it for the funeral?

Why would a world leader attend the grueling wake of a useless bedridden mp?

Re: Which world leader will not make it for the funeral?

I can bet till my last dollar that Eleven Jinping will not be bothered nor to even send a representative. The Chink government is always at a displeasure with Sinkie leaders such that even the Beijing Olympic torch had by passed Sinkie Land whilst passing through Malaysia and Indonesia. A very obvious show of disregard to Sinkies.

Re: BBC's report on LKY death

The British and UK will have great time bashing LKY if they want to. LKY took away their dignity that Singapore was still a fishing village when LKY PAP become ruling party. And also claim he was the founding father, than where does the Brit stands?

The outbreak of World War Two put Lee's plans to travel to England for further study on hold. In February 1942, the British colonial army surrendered to the invading Japanese, starting a "reign of terror". Lee narrowly escaped being rounded up and killed in the Sook Ching massacre, one of the most large-scale atrocities of the occupation years. He later said he believed between 50,000 and 100,000 people had died, and that the British failure to prevent the massacre was further proof that Singaporeans should be free to rule themselves.
During the war, he went on to work as a Japanese interpreter and ran his own black market glue business.

Maybe he traded with God, in exchange for making me alive, I will improve the livelihoods of the multitudes.

It is sometimes good to have crisis.

Well it might just be the time and place to pave the groundwork for some deals with so many leaders present in an informal setting.

Re: BBC's report on LKY death

LKY didn't say he was an interpreter or a translator. he just said he deciphered certain secret Allies information for the Japanese invaders.

wonder why the Japanese employed a Chinese man for this kind of considered sensitive intelligence works. it logically just doesn't make sense.


Late in 1943 I read an advertisement in the Syonan Shimbun inserted by the Japanese information or propaganda department called the Hodobu, which was located in Cathay Building. It wanted English-language editors. I turned up to be interviewed by an American-born Japanese, George Takemura, a tall, lean, fair-skinned man who spoke English with an American accent.

My job was to run through the cables of Allied news agencies: Reuters, UP, AP, Central News Agency of China and TASS. These cables, sent out in Morse code, had been intercepted by Malay radio operators. Radio signals were not clear in the later afternoons and early evenings, and because reception was poor, many words were garbled or lost. I had to decipher them and fill in the missing bits, guided by the context, as in a word puzzle. The cables then had to be collated under the various battle fronts and sent from the top floor of Cathay Building to the floor below, where they would be revamped for broadcasting.

from China media: it seems that it is either the President or the Premier who will go to the funeral.

It's a pity that the CBs you tune into are always chao.

I prefer to tune into CCB when I'm free.

Luverbaht must have blundered!
Or does he have a fetish for CCBs? :p

Hopefully, he was thinking about something else:

Re: North Korea and S'pore are good friends...

wow. our good friend North Korea finally sent the condolence message. I'm not asking for too much, hope that fatty Kim would attend the Sunday event.

The state-controlled media should seize the opportunity and conduct THE INTERVIEW with him.

Re: North Korea and S'pore are good friends...

There's not much difference between North Korea and Singapore... the 'father to son' political system is similar. The only difference is that Singapore kissed America's ass and hence there wasn't much impediment in the economy.

Did you know....

A little bird from the West told me North Korea is able to circumvent/bypass the US-imposed sanctions with the help of LHL's cronies. Kim Jong-Un and the ruling elite are still able to enjoy life's little luxuries.

The United Stasi of A. is very tulan with LHL because of this.

I don't like President Ma but he has a lovely wife.

The day after he became president, she still tried to take a bus to work, but found herself swarmed by reporters.

ok, then the context (in his case) must have confused me! :o

To be honest, I don't.
But I'll do some research now, just for fun! :p
