Reading all the argument here reminds me of a story my lau pa used to tell me abt 2 nomads who happened to stumble upon a house and both claiming it belongs to them and finally tried to refuse the other one to own it. The funny thing is, the owner of the house was sound asleep in his house.
So who do you reckon is the owner of the house? The second brother northwards or the big brother southwards? It is a real prickly situation alright. Let's not forget that too many nomads coming into the house will wake up the owner as well.

You think too highly of me, I am just an ordinary guy. I think many people in Singapore know this as well. I hope you find your haven soon.

Sometime i wonder what you mean on this? The speechless mean that i am shocked to hear something about SG from the view of the chinese.

What was so shock about this? China chinese are always shocked to hear about our views about them. Do not tell me if you are 100% on the ball on every details about china.

We continue to closed the deal after it. Have you been in business or just a jobless guy trying to offend everyone?

I do not know about what kind of busines you are at with china chinese. I have done many business dealings with HK/Twn/Ch/MY chinese in the past, we always laughed/teased about ourselves how little/twisted we know about each other. No shock, no offense, just some silly stereotype jokes.


Sure, no offend. The offensive is the china non war invasion of Singapore while our gov still happyily embrace.

PRC Bank Exec

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happen to be at waterloo street doing some bank transaction yesterday lunch time, was told by the counter staff to wait for 15min to half an hour. Went out for a quick puff and saw this gal leaning on my car talking on her phone. The moment she lift up her head, I was WOW..... Not bad leh. She smile back and say sorrie, I told her to carry on leaning in a joking way. We chatted awhile and got to know that she just arrived 3 weeks ago working at the Bank which I just went. So I try to date her out for a drink and she say OK (My Lucky Day).

Pick her up after her work at 5.30pm and we went downtown for dinner. I was trying my best to test water (NO LUCK). We headed to Boat Quay for a drink after dinner and I told myself this time DIE DIE also must ask. All of a sudden, she burst into tear (ALCOHOL EFFECT), saying she misses her parent. I try to console her and told her not to think so much. Time passes and we are now more open up, I pop up the question to her:

Me: Why dun you try to earn more money while you are in SG?
She: How to?
Me: Do part time lor.
She: What is part time?
Me: Must I go into detail, then you can understand.
(Slient for a while) and (Burst into laughter)
She: How much am I worth in your eye.
Me: Hard to say, depends on how good are you.
She: How much do you want to give me, if I say OK to you.
Me: 150 lor (Man Ego).
She: If I am good to you, you give me more is it?
Me: Let see how good are you.
Me: How???
She: Can try. Is it now?
Me: Now lor. If not when?
She: Where?
Me: I bring you there.

10.45pm we check into a hotel at chinatown and the rest is story.....

Malaysian: Bank of China shrink 100 million deposit to 8.92 Yuan(Cont’d)Posted by chinaview on September 7, 2006

Li Rulan, The Epoch Times Malaysia, Sep 06, 2006– (cont’d)

Calculation Methods of the Deposit
How did the bank calculate the deposit to justify a 100 million yuan bank deposit becoming only worth 9 yuan? In the forum, Cai displayed the letter from the Bank of China to his father. In the letter, four calculation methods were used by the bank. The first three were based on the repayment method approved on January 9, 1953 by the People’s Government Administration Council of China.
1. The first calculation method used by the Overseas Chinese Service Department of the Bank of China in Xiamen was: For the first five thousand Yuan of the deposit, only 570 Yuan was refundable. For amounts above five thousand Yuan, only ten percent of the deposit amount was refundable. Base on this calculation, Cai’s deposit was reduced to 11,152,743.13 Yuan (Figure 1, right).
This calculation method, determined by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was actually meant for fixed deposits. But in fact, Cai’s father’s account is not a fixed deposit account but a current account.

2. After discounting the refundable amount based on the calculation method for fixed deposits, the bank further discounted the amount refundable by eighty percent by using the calculation chart for current accounts. The bank deposit was only left with 8,923,450.49 Yuan after the second calculation.

3. For the third method, the bank used the repayment standard from 1937 to August 1948 (Figure 2, right) to further discount the remaining 8 million. The sum was somehow multiplied by 0.01 and thus the value of the deposit was reduced to 89,234 Yuan.

In reality, Cai’s father deposited the money between Aug 1946 and May 1948. If based on the calculation chart of the CCP, the conversion rate for 2 million deposited in 1946 should be 1 to 3.25. As for the over 100 million deposited before May 1948 , the conversion rate for 1947 is 1 to 0.46. In fact, the bank used none of the conversion rates in between 1937 and August 1948 but chose to use the conversion rate after August 1948, which is 0.01.

4. Lastly, the bank invented the calculation method of “exchanging old currency with new currency”. They fixed the rule that every 10,000 of the old Yuan currency would be exchangeable for 1 new Yuan currency. At the end, the 89,234 Yuan deposit was reduced to only 8.92 Yuan. This calculation method was in fact self-invented, says Cai. (See right part of figure 4.)

Cai said that his deposit used to be worth more than 20 million USD. The Bank of China delayed repayment of this deposit for more than thirty years and finally used these ridiculous calculation methods to reduce a 100 million deposit to only 9 Yuan. This was indeed very much like the fabrication, lies and cheating methods commonly used by the CCP. Cai said even if they used the repayment standards approved by the People’s Government Administrative Council in 1953, he could have got back at least 8 million Yuan. He simply cannot accept the calculation methods used by the Bank of China.

“I have received in total a few millions in interest [on statements], so how could 9 yuan fetch so much interest?” said Mr. Cai.

Furthermore, the Bank of China Malaysia branch intended to sue Cai for “damaging” its reputation and wanted him to compensate the bank.

Cai said during the old times, the overseas Chinese wanted to contribute financially to China because of Japan invasion. Thus many of them transferred their savings to China. Having the similar mindset, Cai’s father deposited his hard-earned money from trading rubber in the Bank of China. He said besides his father, there were many other people who could not get back their bank deposits. He finally appealed to all the people who had placed deposits with the Bank of China and were cheated their deposits to step forward and demand their deposits with the bank to be returned and expose the truth to the public.
