I dun think so...Originally posted by Atobe:It seems that the Genting has lost its bid for the IR project, and the Government has thought that the offer from the US operators are more comprehensive, and with more experience in operating the kind of IR facilities that the Government desires.
The desire is so intense that it diverted PM LHL to Las Vegas - to personally view and have a first hand experience of the IR concept in Las Vegas.
This confirms that Singapore operates on a 'Top-Down' approach in all structural decisions matters - whether BIG decisions on the IR project, or SMALL decisions on the MONORAIL system for Sentosa Island.
All the same, very gracious for Genting to still wish Singapore on our anniversary.

I dun think so...
The Americans are not interested in the Sentosa site...

No, the Americans remain interested in both the IR, especially the one that is to be built in the MIDDLE of the NEW DOWN TOWN FINANCIAL DISTRICT.
The Americans are presently objecting to the Government interference in the [b]micro-details of the proposed IR projects, which will end up in the whole scheme being unprofitable to the Americans.
The Americans have protested that the 'Officials' should leave the minor details to the 'EXPERTS' in this field of entertainment; and that all the 'Officials' need to do is to POINT IN THE DIRECTION that is to be headed, and leave it to the 'EXPERTS' to get us there.
Is this not typical and characteristic of the 'SUPER KNOW-ALL' Singapore Officialdom, who have always poked a finger up every Singaporean noses ?
It takes a Bigger Player to be in a strong position to tell a 'loud mouth' to go 'piss in the wind' .
Our Singapore Officials should learn to be more humble, and that there are others who know better then them, in how to provide Super Class entertainment for the Family.
