Most probably they did not want to kill the golden goose that laid the golden eggs then. Now that billions have been invested over there, they can afford to show more of its true colours!

Oh my god,you have hitted the blue-eyed,i think that is exactly why those government-linked companies always suffered heavy losses when they go other countries n invest.......But i think after a number of blows,they are now more cautious when investing other countries.Originally posted by Joshua1975:
When they are oversea they still think they are in Singapore.

Jumping from one hell hole to anotherOriginally posted by daystar_70:many sporean went to china to invest but only to find that it was not as beautiful as what it hope to be.
we hv seen many beautiful examples of sporean making it big in china, but what about the failure? Some friends once told that their company investment in china is a flop but cant pull out. So many legal issues to handle. Sack people must go thru lawyers, must give reasons, employees can sue employers back, employee and employer lawyers both gang up and delay trials, so they can earn more with dealyed trials.
if these are all true, then we sporean shd just stay put, or just divest to msia or indonesia. at least we "die" knowing what went wrong.
this china issue is really what the cantonese say,"fan jun ju dou zuo hei si",
meaning flip the pig belly, you find shit.
huh? then what about suzhou?Originally posted by SibeiSuayKia:Would u give money to a potential aggressor?
lol only idiots would do that...and we're not =D

i've heard stories of sporeans opening supermarkets there but had to bow out due to the fact that more things get stolen then soldOriginally posted by Heartlander:One of Comfort-Delgro's director has been telling its investors in the AGM that its China venture has not been making any money so far, yet it is pouring more money into China!Are they investing for the sake of the name of Singapore or for the benefit of its shareholders????? It is hard to believe that most Chinese drivers drove the rental taxi back to the province or thier"kampong" without trace, yet Comfort-Delgro kept pouring in money for more investment, using those profit they raked in from Singapore and "invest' it like what the Santa Claus did to entertain its clients!Gardenia of QAF was smarter years ago, they bowed out when they saw something was amissed and never to return to the shark infested water!
I have been wondering about this question? What have we gained so far from LHL's visit?Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:does this mean we have to support LHL no matter what?![]()
