Nothing wrong with banning exports of oil when there is a shortage at home, is it?Originally posted by Fatum:maybe they know something we don't ...
it's only Indians, not banglas, not sri lankans, not pakistanis ... so maybe it's not wholly an anti-south asian thingy .....
but then again, the northern chaps like to do funny stuff .... crocked bridges, sending space tourists up into the skies, banning singaporeans from buying oil in johor when there's a shortage across the country .....
funny chaps, them northerners ...![]()
Allah is Arab for God. Arab language is sacred script.Originally posted by Fatum:typical northern govermentspeak ....
it's like that "Allah vs Tuhan" fiasco ..... first they withheld the license, then they re-issued it without restrictions, then they say the word is exclusive to Muslims, then they say it's been taken out of context .....
so whose is the final word ? ...![]()
They are banning exports coz the shortage is caused by their own stupidityOriginally posted by iveco:Nothing wrong with banning exports of oil when there is a shortage at home, is it?![]()
This is what I found when I did a search for the origin of the word "Allah" on the internet:Originally posted by iveco:Allah is Arab for God. Arab language is sacred script.

Actually those bottles in question are not supposed to be exported in the first placeOriginally posted by elindra:They are banning exports coz the shortage is caused by their own stupidity
They expect oil companies to sell at heavily discounted rates into Malaysia when the market has gone over the moon
Which company in the right mind is going to do that since they are running a business and not a charity![]()
Now I think they are forced to do soOriginally posted by elindra:I mean the oil shortage is their own problem
I mean if you expect suppliers to sell the ppl at rock bottom prices when the palm oil market has sky rocketed to outer space?
Get real man!
The businesses are there to make money and not provide cheap oil to the country
Do you think they will actually sell cheap oil in the domestic market when they can make much much more anywhere else?
At least raise the damn domestic oil prices![]()
I think now got quota laOriginally posted by sbst275:Now I think they are forced to do so
But we're still getting palm oil from Malaysia
Like this ppl going to kpkbOriginally posted by elindra:I think now got quota la
They can only sell so much out
But frankly speaking I think it's way stupid![]()
backpedaling again .....Originally posted by Alvin.Yeoh:Latest news is that its just a tightening of the visa procedures not a complete ban.
agreed.Originally posted by Fatum:banning singaporeans from buying cooking oil there is like shooting the deers and monkeys coming down to the reservoirs to to drink during a drought ....
it's actually doing something without affecting anything .... this is called "extra spray" ... and does nothing to really solve the problem ...
same thing as banning the Indians ...![]()
