The Chinese when speaking in public or to someone not from their own province will use Pu Tong Hua which is similar to the Mandarin we use here. Otherwise they'll use their native tongue or dialect ...Originally posted by 2004Lancer:tell u la....if u ask me to brush up my chinese (mandarin is wrong word coz in china they speak only chinese (bei fang hua) and not mandarin, i rather learn Malay.....then can sian our good neighbour (Malalysia Malay girls)...kekekeke........
Malaysia Boleh!!!!!!!! i love you Pat Lak (is the spelling correct?).....
let's marry Malaysia.....then slowly we marry Thailand and Indonesia....
Think only if it concerns Taiwan will they chap zi ka ... coz it affects their sovereignty ... same wif Hong Kong ...Originally posted by 2004Lancer:some more, China can ask USA not to interfere in other's state affairs....KNN eh......then why interfere when LHL visits Taiwan?
CCB!!! then they should make noise since day one coz NSmen go Taiwan for training and not China!!!
CCB!!! everything also wanna control!!! Hong Kong now see beh tu lan China leow due to Daniel (Big Bird) Dong Chee Hwa's incompetence.....
luckily they never say Singapore is also part of China.....if they do, i will screw all the billions of China babes first!!!
Like dat still dare to say personal visit ??? buay pai seh .. lie oso dunno how 2 lie ... ... can see trouble brewing in the future for S'pore when he takes over the reinsOriginally posted by loudmonkey:Singapore's Deputy PM Wraps up Taiwan Visit

No wonder China is making noise......if LHL can meet high level officials like Chen and more, is that still an "unofficial and private visit"??? I just hope he knows what he is doing.
Problem is (a) China & Taiwan has changed in terms of their bargaining ability compared to the early 90s. China now specifically tell everyone else to butt out! And (b) who LHL think he is? He does not have the same amount of currency like LKY. This thing is getting to his head.Originally posted by SpeedStar:Just my opioin, I think LHL's trip to taiwan is to build up the relationship between taiwan and china especially the tension that was created after the presidential election. My dad used to tell me LKY use to hold meeting with the leaders of taiwan and the mainland in singapore. His purpose is to act as a middle manbetween the 2 countries. Therefore I have reasons to believe that his purpose for this trip is a need. Perhaps it might be china who wanted him to go and talk to them as a third party instead of directly talk to them.
The question is why he go stir up hornets nest ? Why fix sth dats not broken ?Originally posted by Eiizumi:China's anger over the Taiwan issue towards Singapore made it look to me like a diplomatic break-up threat.
It is like:
"How can you go visit my enemy's house?! Wait I don't friend you!"
Though it is understandable why China would behave this way. I don't think they should over-react by getting "angry", saying their billions of people are dissapointed.
I felt to me like they are pressurising us using their sheer size.
Obviously, Singapore's economic future is linked to China. I think every Singaporean knew that. We are not as stupid as they think.
Who is harming the Sino-Singapore relations? Well, that really depends on any nation's understanding and benovelence.
Maybe he go there to buaya Hsu Chun Mei ...ask Wu Zong Sian how 2 tackle gal ... and consult Chen Shui Bian on strategies 2 win electionOriginally posted by 2004Lancer:it is still private visit ma....paisey for what? i will soon be the prime minister and when i visit old friends to talk about Golf and Hsu Chun Mei, then suddenly my Taiwan friends asked me about politics, can I say, "mai gong zi leh la, puay (August) geh kar gong la"....cannot right?
must entertain abit ma....also to show i know a lot ......deo boh?
anyway, i still feel China should not make noise lor....
i still believe visit is just for business networking ..... who wanna chup zi kar in Taiwan's politics anyway...a parliament who always fight and fist each other.....kakakakakakaka.......
if they (China) make me angry, I will suggest ST build stealth anti-vice machines to chase chinese prostitutes out of Geylang and Chinatown man!!!!
Maybe the ISD is already on the way to your house. Better start packingOriginally posted by 2004Lancer:think KHL needs to open an account under anonymity in sgforums first...seek others opinion first before he plans his next move...

This "middleman" approach dont work for the current state of affairs. Like US, you are either with me or you are against me.
We can think that we are garang and intelligent and si bei dok gong, but size do matter on the world stage.[/b]
Originally posted by Eiizumi:lanjiao !!! a portion of the billions is working in Geylang.....i had interviewed some of them and was told they are not disappointed over LHL's visit...instead they are disappointed when they have no customers......they say the billions are concerned over their stomachs......whether got food and money or not....
