Sad....Did PAP Bad Policies Cause This?

[TracyTan866]

Yes. Christchurch also not that big.

Ang mos I have seen are no big time gamblers compared to Chinese. Esp PRCs. I guess if $ easy in less pain when easy out.

chinese people will do anything for money. money easy come, money easy go

Macau's economy revolves around gambling?

Nothing else other than gambling. Can be boring for non-gamblers. Food wise HK is so much more appealing. Cant be having egg tarts all day long in Macau.

ic...u r very experienced in gals

have you even been conned by them before?

Of course kena conned before. Nothing to be ashamed or shy. After awhile, more vigilant. You need to have heart of steel dealing with them. But I still prefer Malaysian gals. Too bad majority balek several years ago.

hahaha..portuguese egg tarts?

Yes. Long queue all the time.

 

[TracyTan866]

Yes. Long queue all the time.

i thought there is a wide variety of good food in Macau. why is there a need to queue for egg tarts?

That's because the children will be supported with someone else's money.

That may be true. But isn't that a much more worthy cause than for someone else's (taxpayers) money to go to Ho Jinx for her to gamble it away.

As to the suicide rates, one should not look only at the figures or trend. We should be looking at the cause. In the West, suicides are caused largely by broken relationships, substance abuse or plain boredom. All of which are self induced. In Singapore, the cause for suicides are almost entirely due to flawed PAP policies - poverty, illness (for which medical fees are too costly), job or school pressure due to massive influx of foreigners, and an all round lack of care and support by the govt. I see these all in my line of work.

So while Tracy Tan may not win her argument with you over statistics, she's absolutely right that suicides here are due to PAP policies that favor only the elites, the foreigners and its GLCs.

There is no poverty in Singapore.

Ho Ching does not gamble money away. She invests it and has achieved an excellent ROI.

Who wants to have autistic children? who wants to have pancreatic cancer? is it right for the country to help a cancer patient? is it right for Singapore to help a mother with two autistic children?

There is specialist help available for everyone in Singapore with special needs children. Refer to http://www.ncss.gov.sg/social_service/children_disability_services.asp

As for pancreatic cancer please tell whoever is suffering from pancreatic cancer to kiss their loved ones good bye and accept the inevitable, Don't waste a cent of snake oil. Chances of a cure are close to zero. It doesn't matter how rich you are. You're not going to beat the disease.

There is no poverty in Singapore.

Please define the word 'poverty'.

 

[Leongsam]

Please define the word 'poverty'.

Why don't you start off by defining your version of it.

My definition... I'll give you a hint.. If you're FAT you're definitely not suffering from poverty.

 

[bakkuttay]

If you can runaway to fuck or be fucked by sheep, you're definitely not suffering from poverty.

what the pap says is not what happens in reality.

pap advertises many help programmes for the sick, the poor, the aged. But on the ground, it is very difficult for the sick, the aged and the poor to get help. That's why many singaporeans dont believe what they read and dont trust the pap.

Alan has been trying to get me to visit Macau. He said Venetian Resort is the best. All rooms are suites. I wonder some here have visited Venetian

 

[TracyTan866]

Better than Venetian?

I was told that the man was 40+, single, jobless and had health problems. Did pap policies drive him to take his own life?

The ultimate loser. In his own mind - useless. Jobless? Why? Can't even compete against the cardboard oldies?

Single? Can't even compete against the Banglas who can get MANY in Lucky Plaza?

Definitely a loser.
