Sure or not when the majority of our citizens voted for the incumbent, I am sure PAP is the BESTEST party the world will ever have!

They do it because it caters for rich and cheapskate Ang Mos, who usually go because they get in free. PAP has done many money wasting useless events, the F1 is only one of the many.

Did F1 bring in any atmosphere or make property prices increase in Singapore?

In the case of Singapore F1 is "maintenance" keeping the world's attention, the people who have money to protect/invest know Singapore. But for PH this is an introduction to new people, any attention they can get is positive, people in JB city don't even know what PH is, so it is a positive move to introduce PH to a wider world audience. Events such as Expos (in the past) were watershed moments for places like Vancouver that captured work attention and changed the city forever. No I am not saying a yacht race is a world Expo, but any attention to a wider world audience is welcome in my point of view and I hope for more events like this in the future. It was seeing PH that made me want to purchase and live there.

SG F1 hosting rights was renewed...F1 bring benefits...most of all put the place in world map. However, FasTrack is not hosting F1.

It is not the event that can bring instant results.
But it is global marketing and advertisement through live telecasts beamed to millions of viewers to introduce Puteri Harbour to the world.
People must find a reason to go to a certain place apart from being a tourist. Spectator sports is one of them.

yes, no point being the bestest if the world doesn't know you are the bestest.

Kids in candy store moment...If FasTrack get F1 or other major event around SG F1 season...wave of crowd cross border...Asia sporting pilgrimage event of the year

Besides hotels and f&b please name me the tangible benefits of F1? Putting Singapore on the world map is a vanity thing.

Property market has more or less crashed, wealth is depleting, common man not getting pay increases, investors leaving and companies retrenching. Don't give airy fairy benefits.

How long? 25 years? Investors look for immediate pay back. You are Malaysian, you have all the time in the world. Singkies are different, always look for fast returns.

I thought gamblers are those that look for instant paybacks?

Property investments is a journey. You savour the experience the minute you sign the S & P and drive over almost every month to see the earthworks and the structures. You car tires get stuck in the red m&d every now and then. And you find every little excuse to visit the site once you see the tiles and the roof is completed. And you go hunting for furnishings long before TOP visiting home fairs one after another. That is what we call a proper marriage of a property investment and after many years, you repair cracks here and there. The house is just like part of your family. Growing up together.

Well said! Though when my condo unit is done I only have to look for lightings and a couple of white goods. Still I cannot resist looking at the construction progress whenever I drive pass it along the Pasir Gudang Highway!:p

Only those that do not do their homework are gamblers, the astute ones are called investors.

Hmmm....hard to tell apart when both groups hit pay dirt on the same investment?

Usually gamblers don't last long in the property market.

Major sporting event...I do mean major...and SG gov agreed...worth the trouble to close down CBD for full 3 days.

To play it down just because you don't want to associate big event to iskandar. I thought you are better than this. F1 is big, it okay to say it...because it's not coming to iskandar.

Tangible benefits of F1 for whole month
- My nephew benefit it because he is a student and work part-time at events.
- An audio visual technician i know seem to like F1...he get plenty of jobs.
- My old florist friend do not travel on Sept...hot biz for her...
- Middle age ex colleague drive Uber like it too

Above benefits to real people satisfy you?

All I can say is your examples of benefits are OMG. You really do not understand what I am trying to say. Never mind.

Exactly right, you know what I mean, not all such big events encouraged by the PAP brought in any tangible economic benefits and so one should not bench mark them as being useful in any way but boosting their own egos.

How much tax money they poured in ? Few hundreds millions , more than enough to give all these people a few Ks each , don't need to work . Oppies asked how much profit generated from F1, nobody can answer , mostly goes to waste or profit by F1
Why don't they spent the money to pay our NS boys extra bonus , or low rank workers some bonus . They money will also filter into the economy what.

men on the street example make you catch no ball.

Events = MICE industry
Audio Visual = Technical industry
Florist = Design/Creative industry
Uber = Personal/small group transportation service industry

Any major event that draw large crowd will require support services for uncountable activities....result are many main or sub-industries will get a boost, not just Hotel/FnB. Dont you think?

 

[Dfiris]

Blindly optimistic of wat? Did I make any implication or potential impact judgement remark?

Nothing, just don't be blindly optimistic.

Hand out few millions bonus to NS vs Hosting F1 race event

Do not want to argue....this beyond my pay grade....beyond my control. And fact will remain SG F1 hosting is certainty next few years to come....when it end....extreme remote chance gov use the $ give bonus handout as replacement
