The Business Times: Singapore sits moodily atop wealth pole

[zhihau]

True, I collected my first price and 3rd prizes 4D without any tax nor have need to declare.

me think 3rd prize they auto deduct from the winning amount? coz that time my 3rd prize winnings got reduction in prize money & 1st prize no change
looks like you're also another fellow Beh Pio Siao Huat ah!

Sorry to be off topic, but how come the other time I won third prize and it's only $490.
I thot third prize is $500 for $1 bet? :o

Sam, you're not consistent. Elsewhere in this forum, you said reserves are great, and the S'pore govt is right to build up huge reserves blaah blah..

Are you senile?

He's not senile. He's just trying to put on too many different hats at different times that he forgets himself.

OverTheCounter is Leongsam's clone. I guessed as much. Leongsam would never give an independent nick 100 rep pts out of the blue and then that nick goes on to faithfully play the role of PAP doggie!!

That loony upped his own clone! We've all been had.

I knew it! Ur right! He can't be into PAP without picking up its ugly habits - clonyism, appointing your own clones and rewarding them, corruption, self serving...fixing the Opposition..while all the time, appearing righteous and noble, defending free enterprise, free markets, but not freedom from want, poverty, welfare..

The confrontational style is the best. It suits this forum perfectly.

For once, I agree with clinton666.

Why don't you ask them why only $490 for third prize? If it is tax, it should apply to all winnings.

I also noticed that he joined the forum the same time as Sam.

I really don't get you guys at all. This is an internet forum for goodness sake. We're here to debate issues. There's no point having the whole forum marching to the same drumbeat. We'd be behaving like androids all programmed to nod at each other in agreement.

If someone a thread is started criticising a policy, what on earth is the purpose of everyone simply jumping on the bandwagon just to add their two cents worth of criticism. Isn't it much better if someone puts forth a strident defense of the issue being debated.

That's how we sharpen our minds and practise our verbal sparring skills.

Overthecounter isn't my clone. All I'm trying to do is to make this forum more lively with both sides of the fence putting forth their thoughts and defending their stands.

At the moment it's far too lopsided. I realised that when I participated in the "Is Singapore Crumbling?" thread. One member would say "The PAP couldn't care less about something blah blah blah" and all that followed were 10 other members echoing the same sentiment.

If I hadn't got involved and presented an opposing view, the thread would have died after 2 pages. Instead, it went on for days.

If all you guys want is to seek confirmation of your views, surround yourselves with real live "yes men" like the PAP does. Don't bother coming here.

See, I told u all he actually hates pappies.

As is the case with most governments, the PAP has good policies and it has bad policies.

To be honest, my opinion is that it has more good policies than bad ones.

Where it fails badly is in its lack of transparency, cronyism, despotism and its inability to accept any criticism whatsoever. I might add that many here can't seem to tolerate opposing views either.

Why u pincha your lobang so quickly?

That doesn't alter the fact that it has made very good calls in both social as well as economic policy. Take its anti gay stance for example I support it 100%. The damned faggots in NZ think they're better than the rest of us.

Wait till you start seeing this in the shitty times one day and it'll be too late to regret it.

One shouldn't allow the dislike of certain personalities in cabinet to cloud ones judgement regarding how the government overall is performing.

My view on gays is that they can choose to do what they want.
But don't start mouthing off about how wonderful their lifestyle is, about how much "rights" they should have, or start wasting public resources in conducting protests or rallies.
And don't adopt children and claim that u will make naturally wonderful parents.
Not sure if there's a god, but there's certainly a reason for CB and LJ.

You're a lot more tolerant than I am. I feel like stringing them up by their useless balls.

I wouldn't mind it if they admitted they were freaks and made an attempt to seek treatment. However, when they start flaunting their bizarre behaviour as if it was some sort of honor to be homosexual, they deserve to be taught a lesson.

[zhihau]

Why don't you ask them why only $490 for third prize? If it is tax, it should apply to all winnings.
